Currently, Barcelona is working on organizing its paperwork to enter the summer transfer market with strong intent, aiming to bolster the squad after a challenging season. Supporters are hopeful that German coach Hansi Flick will restore the team’s strength and guide Barcelona back to the top positions they have enjoyed in recent years.
According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is prioritizing Neco Williams as their top target in this transfer window. Sporting director Deco is in regular contact with the player and his representatives to secure his signature as quickly as possible.
The newspaper also noted that while Barcelona is concentrating on signing Neco Williams, Atlético Madrid has seized the opportunity to pursue Mikel Merino, one of Barcelona’s key targets this summer. Diego Simeone has approved the board’s decision to start negotiations with Real Sociedad.
The newspaper further reported that Atlético Madrid is targeting Mikel Merino for their midfield, aiming to capitalize on Barcelona’s focus on the Neco Williams deal to secure the Spanish midfielder. The report concluded that Merino now faces a decision, as Barcelona has expressed interest in signing him. However, Atlético Madrid is prepared to offer a substantial amount to Real Sociedad, similar to their recent deal for Robin Le Normand.
