The latest transfer rumours surrounding FC Barcelona feature a surprise inquiry for a Real Madrid midfielder, Eduardo Camavinga. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 30 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits. The items below are the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, with the hottest storyline right now concerning Inter's Alessandro Bastoni.
Eduardo Camavinga
On Saturday, it emerged that Barcelona may attempt to sign French international Eduardo Camavinga if their deal for Bastoni is not completed. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid because of a lack of regular starting opportunities, though no official bid has been made yet. Sources close to the situation report that Real Madrid is expected to request a fee of approximately €60 million. A transfer to Barcelona is considered less probable, with a move to the Premier League seen as the most likely possibility. Sources have informed CaughtOffside that Arsenal and Manchester United have shown the most specific interest in the midfielder.
Vedat Muriqi
According to Goal.com on Friday, Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi is the primary candidate for Barcelona, offering the physical presence and elite experience the club seeks as an alternative if they do not secure Julian Alvarez. 'Sport' reported that the 31-year-old could transfer for less than the 40 million euro release clause in his contract. Barcelona reportedly wants to sign the Kosovar striker following the departure of Robert Lewandowski and faces competition from Fenerbahçe, who are also targeting their former player.
Yanis Musuayi
FC Barcelona is interested in Yanis Musuayi, an 18-year-old Belgian Centre-Forward from Club Brugge, according to reports from Spanish sources on Friday. The forward is Club's top scorer in the Youth League with five goals. Club Brugge is reportedly concerned about losing its top young talents, a situation exacerbated by Belgian regulations that prevent players under 18 from signing long-term contracts.
Andreas Schjelderup
According to Mundo Deportivo on Saturday, Barcelona have made an inquiry about Benfica's Andreas Schjelderup. This follows a report from A Bola 17 days ago which stated that Barcelona's interest in the Norwegian winger is growing and that the club is at the forefront of those interested in him. Benfica is reportedly open to negotiating, but only for amounts substantially higher than the €10 million that Club Brugge offered in January.
Alessandro Bastoni
On Thursday, it was reported that Alessandro Bastoni has reached a personal agreement with FC Barcelona. The club still needs to negotiate with Inter, who are unwilling to easily sell the 43-year-old defender and previously demanded sixty million euros. According to transfer journalist Matteo Moretto on Marca radio channels, a compromise must be reached, with Barcelona considering including players in the deal. Héctor Fort is a player in whom Inter is reportedly very interested.
Julián Álvarez
Barcelona have a strong desire to sign Julián Álvarez this summer as a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski. On Wednesday, El Nacional reported that Barcelona will make an offer of $94 million (€80 million) plus an additional $24 million (€20 million) in an attempt to persuade Atlético Madrid to sell. However, Atletico are not expected to be willing to sell him and would likely demand a fee of around €100m for the Argentine international.
Marcus Rashford
According to Marca on Friday, FC Barcelona does not intend to exercise the €30 million purchase option for Marcus Rashford, who is on loan from Manchester United. The report states the club is limited financially and doubts the wisdom of such an investment. Marca also reports that Manchester United refuses to negotiate a new loan or a transfer at a lower price, and as a result, FC Barcelona is considering ending its association with the player.
