Barcelona is very serious about tracking a marquee winger from Serie A while coming up with their transfer plan this summer.
With the club still facing financial difficulty, they are searching for cheap options to improve their squad, and they are particularly looking to improve their attacking line.
The winger has had a standout season in Italy and reignited his career following his time in England.
He plays with great pace, versatility and is a strong goal-scoring option, which has piqued Barcelona’s interest in what could potentially be their next transfer.
According to Diario Sport, the player identified is Moise Kean, the 25-year-old forward from Fiorentina, who has had a stunning season, scoring 23 goals in 39 appearances this season.
Kean found it hard at Juventus and Everton but showed his talent in Florence, and he has reestablished himself as one of the most deadly attackers in Serie A.
Barcelona have been following Kean for a while, and the club sees him as the ideal player to use their limited transfer budget on to provide depth and competition in the attacking areas.
Nonetheless, a transfer will not be easy.
Kean has a release clause of €50 million, which may be beyond Barcelona’s financial constraints in terms of Financial Fair Play restrictions.
The Barcelona hierarchy, with perhaps some optimism, believes that Fiorentina may be amenable to negotiation, particularly if they have the cash available from player sales.
With Lewandowski lactating age and Ferran Torres having yet to make a great impact on the team, Kean would provide the recruitments that Barcelona need in attack and youthful exuberance.
Although many obstacles need to be overcome, financial difficulties remain significant.
Barcelona can only balance their ideas with logic regarding them making their next moves through the transfer window.
