FC Barcelona has identified an explosive winger from RB Leipzig as their prime target for a big-money transfer.
With the club keen on adding a striker, a centre-back, and a winger to bolster the squad under manager Hansi Flick, the Bundesliga has increasingly become a focal point for their recruitment efforts.
Barcelona’s scouting team has been actively monitoring potential targets to ensure the squad remains competitive in domestic and European competitions.
The recent international break provided the perfect opportunity for scouts to evaluate talent in key matches, highlighting Barcelona’s commitment to smart, strategic signings that fit their evolving tactical vision.
The standout player attracting Barcelona’s interest is Antonio Nusa, a dynamic 20-year-old winger currently playing for RB Leipzig, according to Diario Sport.
Nusa caught the eye of Barcelona’s new head of scouting, Joao Amaral—who is also an assistant to sporting director Deco—during Norway’s World Cup qualifying matches in Milan earlier this month.
Nusa’s performance was especially notable in Norway’s 4-1 comeback win against Italy, where he scored a goal, showcasing his pace, creativity, and ability to influence big games.
This young winger, capable of playing effectively on either flank, fits well with Barcelona’s philosophy of versatile and technically skilled attackers capable of quick combinations and high pressing.
Keeping tabs on Nusa is part of a wider interest from Barcelona in RB Leipzig, having previously monitored other players like Yan Diomande and Assan Ouedraogo.
Although the young winger’s contract with RB Leipzig runs until 2029 and a transfer would not come cheap, Barcelona’s consistent pursuit over the past 18 months indicates their belief in his long-term potential.
As decisions around other attacking options, including the future of Marcus Rashford, remain pending, Nusa represents a potentially exciting addition to the squad.
Whether this early interest will develop into a concrete move remains to be seen, but for now, Barcelona’s attention is firmly fixed on this emerging Bundesliga star
