Barcelona’s attack is lighting up world football, with Hansi Flick’s squad on a historic scoring run that has restored the Blaugrana’s reputation as one of the sport’s most thrilling teams to watch.
This is a level of excitement Barca fans haven’t seen since the MSN days, and by the numbers, Barcelona’s current trio of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal is off to an even more impressive start.
Raphinha’s rise under Flick has been remarkable, establishing him as a serious Ballon d’Or contender, keeping pace with Lewandowski and Yamal’s quality.
However, the Catalan club is still eyeing a marquee addition up front, following their summer 2024 move for Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig.
Rafael Leao has been on Barcelona’s radar for months, and rumors of a move are intensifying, as the Portuguese forward grows increasingly unsettled with his situation at Milan.
According to Toni Juanmarti of Diario Sport, Leao is so eager to join Barca that he’s reportedly ready to accept the move without hesitation.
A natural right-footed winger, Leao would add a unique dynamic to Flick’s setup, and could be transformed into a high-scoring threat alongside Olmo, Yamal, Pedri, and Gavi. The anticipation is building around this potential transfer as next summer approaches.
