Barcelona is reportedly targeting a surprising addition to their attacking lineup, turning heads across La Liga. The Catalan giants are looking to bolster their squad with a high-profile player, but the identity of their latest focus might shock fans of both major clubs. This potential move involves a player from their bitter rivals.
Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte reports that Barcelona has set its sights on Rodrygo, a key forward for Real Madrid. This comes shortly after Barcelona finalized a deal for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford. Rashford is set to join Hansi Flick’s squad on a loan agreement, which has saved Barcelona significant transfer funds.
With the financial flexibility gained from the Rashford loan, Barcelona appears ready to pursue another major attacker. UOL Esporte learned that the Catalan club has reached out to intermediaries. They communicated their interest in Rodrygo, making clear their desire to open negotiations if the player considers leaving Real Madrid.
