Barcelona continues its ongoing search for a solution to its financial problems in order to enter the next transfer market with full force and sign world-class players who can lead Barça to win championships.
Barcelona was satisfied in the last transfer market with the arrival of Dani Olmo from Leipzig in addition to the young striker Pau Victor, but Flick still aspires to the arrival of more reinforcements in the next January transfer market.
According to information received from the newspaper El Nacional, Jorge Mendes is still a skilled agent who has a clear plan to transfer Rafael Leao to Barcelona.
After unsuccessful attempts in the summer transfer market, Mendes intends to repeat the attempt in January, as Leao shows his discomfort in Milan, which makes him an ideal candidate to move to Camp Nou and the Portuguese agent shows his complete willingness to use his influence to make this transfer possible.
The name Rafael Leao is very popular in Barcelona, especially with club president Joan Laporta, who realizes that adding a player of Leao’s level will constitute a major change on the sporting and media levels.
The player’s style is in line with the club’s philosophy, making him a preferred option despite Barcelona’s current financial challenges.
Leao has been a revelation in Serie A since joining Milan, proving his speed and skill as one of the biggest stars in European football.
Despite his strong performances, his recent comments about not being comfortable at the club have sparked rumours of a possible transfer, which Mendes is exploiting to realise his dream of bringing him to Barcelona.
Hansi Flick believes Leao will be a great addition and an unprecedented qualitative leap in Barcelona’s attack, and the signing will increase Barcelona’s chances of winning titles.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Mendes achieves his goal of bringing Leao to Barcelona, and Laporta and his team are aware of the importance of this deal.
If the circumstances are right, Barcelona will undoubtedly seek to sign one of the most important players in world football.
