Barça feels growing wings. In the space of a few days, the club completed the signing of Brazilian winger Raphinha, who came from Leeds United for almost 60 million euros, and the renewal of the contract of Ousmane Dembélé, now linked until 2024 .
At the beginning of July, the Catalan management confirmed the signings of Danish defender Andreas Christensen, from Chelsea, as well as midfielder Franck Kessie, from AC Milan. And in both cases, the operation turned out to be free since the two players were at the end of their contract.
The departures of Dani Alves and Adama Traoré are therefore already filled. But the Catalans obviously want even more, to once once more be able to compete with Real Madrid in the fight for the La Liga title. With other nice shots. Starting with the case of Robert Lewandowski. Wishing to leave Bayern Munich one year from the end of his contract, the Polish star resumed training on Wednesday with a bitter taste in his mouth. The first offers from Barça were kindly declined but the showdown should continue since 50 million euros will now be offered.
In parallel, the Catalans want to afford an additional defender with Jules Koundé. Under contract at Sevilla FC, the French international is now waiting for the green light from his club.
Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) might meanwhile be the number one target if Frenkie de Jong leaves. But Barça is also considering recruiting cleverly, in particular the young midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka (18) from Aston Villa.
