Barcelona wants to add two key players to their team this summer to make it stronger for next season. Nico Williams is the first. He is a young star who plays for Athletic Bilbao right now. Should they not be able to get this player, Barcelona is ready to go with AC Milan star Rafael Leao instead.
One of the best young players in Europe right now is Rafael Leao. The Portuguese player is having a great season with AC Milan. He was a big reason why the team won the Serie A title last year. Leao is one of the most sought-after players for moves because of his speed, technical skill, and ability to score goals.
It’s not easy for Barcelona to decide to go after Leao. AC Milan are keen to keep this young star and are working hard to extend his contract. But if the deal with Nico Williams falls through, Barcelona will put all of their efforts into getting Leao to join Camp Nou.
Besides Leao, Barcelona is also said to be interested in players like Ousmane Dembele (free agent), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), and Raphinha (Leeds United). But getting Leao is still seen as Barça’s top goal during this transfer window.
Barcelona has a hard time competing with other big names in the trade market because they always have money problems. Barça still hopes that its popularity and power will help it get good players like Leao so that it can build a strong team for next season.
It won’t be easy for Barcelona, but they are determined to work hard and get back to being a big name in European football as soon as possible.
