Barcelona is looking to enhance its squad in the upcoming transfer window, aiming to sign some of the best global talent. Currently, Barcelona leads La Liga with 38 points, two points ahead of second-place Real Madrid, although Madrid has a game in hand that could see them take the top spot if they win.
Recently, Barcelona had considered Rafael Leao and Nico Williams as primary options to strengthen their winger position. However, it now seems that Hansi Flick, the club’s technical director, has shifted focus to Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala. Flick views the talented German as the perfect addition to the squad, especially after recent fluctuations in Barcelona’s performance.
Musiala’s current contract situation and the lack of renewal talks with Bayern Munich have made him an attractive target for Barcelona. The 21-year-old is highly sought after across Europe for his speed, dribbling, and creative playmaking abilities. Flick believes Musiala’s style would complement Barcelona’s tactical setup.
While Leao has emerged as a top choice due to his fallout with AC Milan’s coach, and Williams had been on the radar after summer discussions, Flick is now set on prioritizing Musiala’s acquisition. The German’s potential also represents a long-term investment, aligning with Barcelona president Joan Laporta’s strategy for sustainable team growth.
Flick envisions a dynamic partnership between Musiala and Lamine Yamal, which could help Barcelona reclaim its prominence in European football.
