In a stunning turn of events, a PSG star has been offered to FC Barcelona, sparking intrigue in the summer transfer window.
FC Barcelona has a surprise opportunity with a high-profile star moving into motion, as Paris Saint-Germain is working to reshape its squad.
With Luis Enrique planning for the 2025/26 season, PSG are willing to sell players who do not fit into their long-term plans.
The 29-year-old’s unclear path at Parc des Princes and expiring contract have meant that his agent is now looking into options with high-profile clubs in Europe, including Barcelona, as the summer transfer window approaches.
The player in question is Marco Asensio, the Spanish international who is looking for a consistent role at PSG.
Asensio had a brief spell with Aston Villa last season, where he scored eight goals in eight appearances and inevitably impressed the club.
His agent, Jorge Mendes, has now offered Asensio to Barcelona and Manchester City, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, by SportWitness.
Asensio is an attractive option for Barcelona, especially with the uncertainty ahead of Ansu Fati’s future as he continues on loan at AS Monaco.
While Asensio is a versatile forward who is capable of contributing goals to the team, having made 15 goal contributions over 37 appearances last season, it will be interesting to see if his now reported agreement with Fenerbahçe prohibits him from talking to competing teams as his new employers are in the midst of a 60-day window to finalize their purchases with a now reported €15 million offer tabled.
Barcelona’s financial constraints make a bargain move for Asensio appealing, but Hansi Flick must weigh whether the Spaniard fits into his attacking setup alongside targets like Marcus Rashford.
With Fenerbahçe pushing hard and Asensio rejecting an initial €9 million salary offer, Barcelona faces competition to secure his signature.
As the transfer window unfolds, Asensio’s next move remains uncertain, but his potential arrival could add flair and experience to Barcelona’s squad.
