Barcelona faces a challenging season ahead. Despite the excitement generated by the appointment of Hansi Flick as head coach, the fans understand that Real Madrid will be a formidable adversary. Last season, Real Madrid demonstrated their prowess by winning both the Champions League and La Liga. This summer, they further strengthened their squad by signing Kylian Mbappé, one of the world’s most impactful footballers, who is currently at the peak of his career with ambitions of becoming a European champion.
This situation demands an ambitious response from Barcelona in the transfer market. The club needs to make high-quality signings, particularly for the left winger and pivot positions. In an interview with Barça One, Hansi Flick emphasized the need for new additions, and the technical secretariat, led by Deco, has been working for several weeks to address the coach’s requirements.
It appears that the first signing is nearly finalized. According to recent reports, Barcelona is preparing to activate the €58 million release clause of Nico Williams. The agreement with the player is close, and once the fee is paid, this transfer will be crucial for Barcelona’s aspirations to compete with Real Madrid.
Dani Olmo is another major target for Barcelona. In addition to Nico Williams, the club recognizes the need for more signings to compete at the highest level. Dani Olmo, who had an impressive Euro 2020 with three goals, is being heavily linked with a move to Barcelona. The attacking midfielder from Terrassa, who trained at La Masia, has a €60 million release clause and is reportedly ready to leave RB Leipzig.
Securing Dani Olmo would be a significant opportunity for Barcelona. Although negotiations are not as advanced as with Nico Williams, further details are expected to be worked out in the coming weeks, aiming to complete another top-tier signing and enhance the team’s competitive capabilities.
