Barcelona are set to kickstart one more new period in 2024/25, with former Bayern Munich and Germany boss Hansi Flick taking up as head coach.
And whereas Flick has but to supervise any signings up to now this summer season, there’s loads of rumours floating round linking the membership with main acquisitions.
Here is the three acquisitions that we at 90min suppose Barca desperately want in the course of the present switch window.
To say the very, very least, Nico Williams has been closely linked with a transfer to Barcelona.
And, contemplating how unbelievably good he was at Euro 2024, it is simple to see why Barca are so eager to safe his companies – particularly when arch rivals Actual Madrid have bulked up their UEFA Champions League-winning assault with the signing of Kylian Mbappe.
Studies recommend that the large ahead’s most well-liked vacation spot is Barca, and his €58m launch clause represents relatively unbelievable worth in at the moment’s market.
If they’ll discover a strategy to afford Williams given ongoing monetary limitations, Deco and co must get this deal over the road. If they do not, do not count on Barca to come back inside one million miles of difficult Actual Madrid for La Liga’s title this coming season.
One other one among Spain’s Euro 2024 stars, and one other participant who has been persistently linked with a transfer to Catalonia in current weeks.
Latest stories state that Barcelona have seen their opening bid for Dani Olmo be rejected by RB Leipzig, with the Bundesliga membership mentioned to be holding out for a payment nearer to €60m for his companies.
A transfer for Olmo actually is smart for Hansi Flick’s staff, as the previous La Masia participant can function principally anyplace throughout the ahead line and in attacking midfield positions. It is within the latter the place he’d be most helpful to a Barca staff who’re at the moment counting on veteran Ilkay Gundogan and the damage inclined Pedri for creativity in that space of the pitch.
However 90min understands Barcelona are at the moment prioritising a transfer for Williams, which suggests they might miss out on Olmo.
Is there any probability of this deal occurring?
Actually, most likely not.
If Barcelona might hand choose one participant to lastly fill the void left by Sergio Busquets deep of their midfield, they’d undoutedly choose Martin Zubimendi.
The Actual Sociedad star is an archetypal Barca midfielder in some ways, and would go a protracted strategy to assuaging the membership’s notable midfield woes since Busquets left in 2023.
