This summer, Barcelona are targeting two main targets to strengthen their squad for next season. The first is Nico Williams, a young star currently playing for Athletic Bilbao. However, if they are unable to successfully recruit this player, Barca are ready to turn to Rafael Leao, a striker from AC Milan.
Rafael Leao is one of the most talented young players in Europe today. The Portuguese player is having an impressive season with AC Milan, contributing greatly to the team winning the Serie A championship last season. With his technical ability, speed and scoring ability, Leao is one of the top transfer targets on the market.
Barcelona’s pursuit of Leao is not an easy choice. AC Milan are keen to keep this young star and are working hard to extend his contract. However, if the Nico Williams deal fails, Barca will focus all their efforts on convincing Leao to join Camp Nou.
In addition to Leao, Barcelona is also said to be tracking other targets such as Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Raphinha (Leeds United) or Ousmane Dembele (currently a free agent). However, recruiting Leao is still considered Barca’s number one priority in this transfer window.
With constant financial problems, Barcelona is having a hard time competing with other big names in the transfer market. However, with its influence and appeal, Barca still hopes to be able to convince quality transfer targets like Leao to rebuild a strong squad for the next season.
The road ahead for Barcelona will not be easy, but with great efforts and determination, Barca hopes to soon return to the position of a big name in European football.
