Turnaround for a hot file from Barça?

La Liga leader FC Barcelona is thinking about its next summer transfer window, and in particular the long-awaited return of Lionel Messi.

Despite the Argentinian, the Catalan club is linked to many other elements, in all lines. In defense, the Portuguese João Cancelo, loaned by Manchester City to Bayern Munich, seduces in Catalonia, as does the Frenchman N’Golo Kanté (Chelsea) in midfield, and his Blues partner, Reece James, injured until the end. end of the season.

FC Barcelona is also looking to recruit in attack, and recently, the Brazilian Roberto Firmino had been announced very close to the club, to the point of having an agreement with the future champion of Spain.

Firmino, it’s no

But according to the Spanish media brand, it would be nothing. FC Barcelona would have even refused the Liverpool striker, proposed to the management of the Catalan formation by his agents. Roberto Firmino, who will certainly leave the Reds this summer, at the end of the contract, would interest AS Roma of José Mourinho and Real Madrid, but in a position of lining, behind Karim Benzema.

For its part, Barça would rather have as a priority its ex-player, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, today at Chelsea. The Gabonese would also be seduced by this possibility, even with a view to being the replacement for the Pole Robert Lewandowski, in form this season (38 games, 27 goals, 7 assists).

Laporte ready to take the door for Barca

In another register, FC Barcelona, ​​which is targeting a central defender, can count on the desire of Aymeric Laporte to join the Catalan club to conclude the operation. Indeed, says Report, the Spanish international would absolutely like to leave Manchester City, with the avowed aim of signing for Barça this summer. But before arriving in Catalonia, the Spanish club will have to sell.

The transfer could therefore not succeed, and Aymeric Laporte spin to other skies. Especially since many clubs would be in the running, namely Newcastle United, Juventus and AC Milan, in addition to Athletic Bilbao, which seems to be starting further.
