Barcelona, like all clubs in the world, will be very attentive to everything that happens at the World Cup in Qatar. Firstly, because it is the club most represented in the World Cup, but also because the best are present in the World Cup, and FC Barcelona wants to monitor those players who may interest them in the medium or long term. . While there may be many names on Matteo Alemani’s agenda, when it comes to superstars, there seem to be three above the rest
Leo Messi is still on Barcelona’s agenda for next season
The first can only be Leo Messi. The Argentine is in the final year of his contract in Paris and there has been talk of a possible return to Barcelona for several months, where Xavi Hernandez will be happy to manage him before his career ends. It’s not an easy process then, even if he does arrive as a free agent, his current contract cannot match Barcelona’s salary cap and Messi will have to accept being paid much less
Another name in the list of the most covered players who have been linked to Barcelona is Joao Félix. It is not guaranteed that the Portuguese footballer will start in the World Cup to compete with Rafael Leao, Cristiano Ronaldo or Bruno Fernandez, but his position at Atletico Madrid, where he does not correspond at all to Cholo Simeone, could lead to an exit. in the summer or even earlier
Another Portuguese on this list is Bernardo Silva. The Manchester City player was already the big target last summer, but he couldn’t get it due to Barcelona’s financial complications, and when he did have the money, it was already too late. Now, although his team is trying to renew it, Barcelona continues without forgetting it, and if it can be viable in the summer, they will try again
All of this has to happen in the summer because, as Joan Laporta himself has made clear, La Liga doesn’t allow them to make any signings in the winter. Although the Barcelona president has admitted that he is in talks with the body headed by Javier Tebas so that his limits are not too strict, in any case, there will not be a contract with many names like these three, which requires a very important investment. and that their clubs, in the case of the Portuguese, are willing to sit down and negotiate
