FC Barcelona has suffered a major setback with Nico Williams. As controversy rages in Catalonia, where La Liga president Javier Tebas is accused of boycotting and sabotaging the deal, the reigning Spanish champions are working on other deals. Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford are the main candidates to "replace" the Basque winger, while the name of Xavi Simons, a product of La Masia, has also appeared in the local press.
And this summer, the recruitment policy is mainly focused on recruiting young players. The club is preparing to enlist Roony Bardghji , one of the biggest nuggets on the continent, who will arrive from Copenhagen for just 2 million euros. Like Real Madrid, and even if the Catalan club can rely on a very efficient training center, the Blaugrana management also wants to secure the great players of tomorrow before they arrive at other clubs. This was the case with Pedri or Ronald Araujo for example.
Three (still) unknown players
As reported in the Spanish press, there are other young players in FC Barcelona's sights this summer. The goal is reportedly to integrate them into the B team, with the possibility of joining the first team in the short to medium term. The Catalans have reportedly already secured the signing of Lovro Chelfi, the 18-year-old number 10 who plays for NK Kustosija in Croatia. A Croatian playmaker who was recruited—it should be made official soon—with the goal of quickly developing him into a potential first-team player.
Sport reports that the Catalan club is targeting Alex Costa, a 22-year-old striker who plays for Ponferradina in the Spanish third division. He was on the verge of signing for Sevilla, but Barça is reportedly scuppering the deal to offer him to Juliano Belletti, the new Barça Atletic coach. Finally, Marc Domenech is also in the lineup. He's an 18-year-old striker who plays for Mallorca's youth teams, and whose qualities are highly regarded by the management. He also has the advantage of being a client of agent Pini Zahavi, who has access to Barça.
