Barcelona know that they will have a tough time of securing the pieces they want in the summer, so far declared to be a pivot in midfield, a left winger and the continuity of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo. However one of the avenues that they will explore, in addition to making major sales is bringing down the price of targets by offering players.
Their top target for the pivot role currently appears to be Everton’s Amadou Onana. The Senegalese is Xavi Hernandez’s top choice and Sporting Director Deco is keen on him too. However the Blaugrana’s €45m limit for a move goes well below the €60m that Everton wants as a minimum for the 22-year-old.
As a result, they will offer the likes of Ansu Fati, Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest or Fermin Lopez to Everton, as per Sport. The latter has been in inspired form of late, scoring against both Napoli and Atletico Madrid in their best week of the season, and the Catalan daily does go on to say that his intention is to continue at Barcelona come what may.
