Despite the upcoming presidential elections, Barcelona's sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick have already agreed on a squad reinforcement plan, with the top priority being the search for a central striker.
Details: According to Diario Sport, the club's main dream remains Julián Álvarez from Atlético, but the Blaugrana understand that this deal will be extremely complicated and expensive—the Madrid side are demanding around €150 million. Because of this, the club's executives have started exploring alternative options, with Manchester City's forward Omar Marmoush emerging as the leading candidate.
It is reported that the Catalan coaching staff believe the Egyptian would fit perfectly into their playing system thanks to his mobility, technical skills, and ability to operate in any attacking position.
At this stage, Barcelona is closely monitoring the situation and is already aware of the player’s willingness to consider offers.
It's worth noting that this season, the Egyptian has played 24 matches for Manchester City, scoring only 4 goals and providing 2 assists. Transfermarkt values him at €65 million.
Reminder: Barcelona players Pedri and Ferran Torres answered a journalist’s question about which Real Madrid player they would sign.
