FC Barcelona got an astronomical offer from Saudi Arabia for one of their players, according to SPORT.
The Catalans announced three signings this week, but most of them are low-budget purchases for the Barça Atlético reserve team, with the exception of Pau Víctor.
Formerly owned by Girona, the striker played for the reserve team last season and was signed for a payment of $2. 7 million (€2. 5 million) plus incentives, according to SPORT.
Instead of betting on the secondary team now managed by Rafa Márquez’s successor, Albert Sánchez, in 2024/2025, Pau Víctor will embark on the pre-season tour of the United States that begins next week and will be signed by Hansi Flick’s first team. for smart as a substitute. veteran number nine Robert Lewandowski.
Flick has made no secret that he would like a player who changes the game and for Barca to pursue Nico Williams.
The Euro 2024 winner with Spain, who scored La Roja’s first goal in the final 2-1 win over England in Berlin, has a clause of $67. 4 million (€62 million) according to Mundo Deportivo.
On the other hand, the target is his foreign teammate Dani Olmo, who will want a similar sum to get out of his contract with RB Leipzig.
President Joan Laporta has publicly stated that Barca have the budget to sign Nico, but the club is still expected to have to make big player sales to get the left winger from Athletic Club.
With his close friend Lamine Yamal occupying the right wing position, two of Nico’s potential opponents on the left are the candidates to block Ansu Fati and Raphinha.
To this end, SPORT reports that Al-Nassr has told the Blaugrana that they are willing to pay around $108. 7 million (€100 million) for the Brazilian to pair Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane in the queue.
The newspaper explains how Raphinha also has interest from Arsenal and Aston Villa in the Premier League, which would be his destination due to his past relations with Leeds United.
These offers are worth less than those Barça would probably like to accept from Al-Nassr. With a contract until mid-2027, Raphinha has no responsibility to move, but it turns out he is being kicked out of the starting line. door.
