Catalan Barcelona, despite the failure to sign Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, do not intend to remain without a top-class wing-back. And for the sake of these goals in the ‘blaugrana’ are ready to make a high-profile transfer.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, such at the Camp Nou consider the purchase of Milan winger Rafael Leão. For the Catalans transfer will not be easy, but here the publication believes that the club has an ally - the agent of the Portuguese Jorge Mendes.
Barcelona for this purchase is ready to allocate the same budget as for the purchase of Williams - 58 million euros at once and four million bonuses.
Given that the Portuguese's market price is between 90 and 100 million euros, Milan may in return demand several of their players from Barcelona to reach the required amount.
The economic issue of this deal is the most difficult one, as Leão himself is not against a move to Catalonia, but Barcelona are determined to offload their finances, including saying goodbye to İlkay Gündoğan.
