Barcelona’s activity in the summer transfer window is ongoing as the new season approaches.
The Catalans are seeking for alternatives to strengthen the attack and add dynamism and inventiveness as Ousmane Dembele‘s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain appears inevitable.
A particular Manchester City star has been at the centre of their most recent antics, but luring him in won’t be simple.
Bernardo Silva’s circumstance
The Portuguese midfielder looks to be interested in moving to Spain, but Manchester City is not in a hurry to let him leave and is insistent about demanding a high price for his services.
Barcelona, who are regrettably accustomed to functioning on a tight budget, appear to be drifting farther and more away from Silva.
The Catalans could be able to raise money and make a bid for Silva depending on potential departures like Dembele‘s and Franck Kessie’s impending move to Saudi Arabia.
However, the Dembele issue is still unclear because it appears as though his transfer to PSG has been delayed.
If everything else fails, Giovani Lo Celso of Tottenham Hotspur is apparently being considered by the Catalans, according to Javi Miguel.
A flexible choice
The energetic midfielder from Argentina is capable of playing on the right wing if necessary.
His capacity to receive the ball, turn quickly, and advance it may add another depth to Xavi‘s setup.
The 27-year-old is a skilled passer who can assist break lines by moving upfield, making late runs into the box, and making runs into open space.
In less than 24 hours, Barcelona will play Tottenham in the Joan Gamper Trophy game, giving Xavi and his team the opportunity to observe Lo Celso in action before considering making a move for him.
He would undoubtedly turn out to be a less expensive option while bringing additional depth to what appears to be a top-tier midfield.
