€20m La Liga attacker close to joining Barcelona

Barcelona are set to strengthen their attacking options after a €20m La Liga star moved into the final stages of his transfer to the club.

The Catalan side is looking at the market with value in mind, and the Mallorca forward has emerged as a realistic option if the financial conditions become favorable.

The idea is straightforward: if Mallorca drops, the asking price could fall sharply, making the move far more manageable for Barcelona’s recruitment team.

The player in question is Vedat Muriqi, and reports suggest Barcelona have already placed him firmly on their shortlist as they search for a new striker profile, as reported by Fichajes.

The Kosovar forward is seen as a powerful, direct, and experienced La Liga option who could offer something different to Barcelona’s current attacking mix.

While his release clause is understood to be around 40 million euros, there is growing belief that his price could be reduced if Mallorca are relegated.

Barcelona’s interest in Muriqi is tied to a broader effort to strengthen the attack with a more physical and cost-effective profile.

The club is not treating him as a luxury target, but rather as a practical solution who can provide penalty-box presence, aerial power, and reliability in league competition.

That makes him especially attractive at a time when the market for elite forwards remains expensive and crowded.

The key factor now is Mallorca’s final league outcome. Barcelona is said to be keeping a close eye on the club’s relegation fight because it could directly affect negotiations and bring Muriqi within reach.

If Mallorca remain up, the deal becomes harder. If they go down, Barcelona’s path to the striker could open quickly.

For now, the situation remains one to watch rather than a completed move.

But with Barcelona searching for a stronger attacking reference point, and Muriqi gaining momentum as a genuine option, the story has moved well beyond speculation.
