Barcelona seeks to strengthen its ranks in the summer, especially at the attacking level, in order to solve the problem of the lack of goals scored by the team this season.
The Argentine star “legend” Lionel Messi, the Paris Saint-Germain striker, comes at the head of the names nominated to join “Barca”, along with the Brazilian youth Vitor Roque, “18 years old”, the Brazilian striker, Atletico Paranaense, and the Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Chelsea player, who previously played for « “Barca” last season, and there is strong talk about the trio within the corridors of the “Catalan” club. Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirmed that the club may have to sell one or more strikers this summer, to improve the critical financial situation, and avoid exceeding the “salary ceiling”.
The certain thing is that the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski and the French winger Osman Dembele will not approach either of them, and their survival is certain in the “Camp Nou”, while the talk focuses on three other strikers, the Spaniards Anso Fati and Ferran Torres, and the Brazilian winger Rafinha. There are many reservations about the latter, given the remarkable fluctuation of its level this season.
And the Catalan newspaper Sport revealed that Chelsea was preparing a tempting offer for Barcelona and the “Samba” star, who had previously entered the “Blues” in a fierce competition with “Barca” for his inclusion last summer, but the “Blaugrana” won the deal due to Rafinha’s desire to play. for Barcelona.
The newspaper said that Barcelona is aware of Chelsea’s interest in the Brazilian winger, but the “Catalan” plans are going first in the direction of identifying the required offensive elements, although the club’s current financial situation may force the management to sacrifice Ravenia and sell it this summer.
And English and Spanish press reports revealed that Aubameyang is already close to returning to Barcelona, after Chelsea decided to get rid of him, along with other players during the “summer Mercato”, and the “Blues” hope to obtain 10 million euros, in exchange for dispensing with his services. Although Inter Milan, Italy, is also interested in obtaining Aubameyang’s services, the Gabonese star gives priority to Barcelona, and he has no objection to him sitting as a substitute for the Polish striker Lewandowski.
In a related context, the Argentine newspaper, Veronica Brunati, stated that Messi’s return to a club of his age, Barcelona, is very close, and that he will be in Barcelona on the first of next July, and that some press reports confirmed that negotiations had already begun between the Barcelona administration and Messi’s representatives led by his father Jorge, without mentioning More details.
