With less than a couple of weeks left before the transfer window closes, Barcelona are racing against time to sign January target Marcus Rashford.
However, a recent report from Diario SPORT indicates that Barcelona have bigger things on their mind, especially as the summer transfer window begins.
Jamal Musiala: Flick’s dream signing
The report adds that Jamal Musiala has become a “dream target” for coach Hansi Flick as he looks to further improve Barcelona’s attacking game.
Musiala is considered an ideal player for Barcelona due to the dribbling skills he brings.
In fact, Musiala is excellent in one-on-one situations, something Barça lacks at the moment. In fact, the coaching staff sees the German international as an ideal option for the left wing or the inside midfield.
Musiala, for his part, seems to have a special place in his heart for Barcelona, as he was a fan of Lionel Messi in his childhood.
Possible obstacles for Barcelona
However, acquiring the services of Jamal Musiala will not be easy. It must be taken into account that the youngster is considered one of the best players in Germany and Bayern would not want to get rid of their star talent so easily.
According to the report, Barcelona would have the money needed to sign the German international next summer. But signing him up for the team will be the main challenge.
That’s where Frenkie de Jong could be key. Barcelona believes that the Dutchman’s departure could unlock the salary space that Barça needs to accommodate someone like Musiala.
That said, de Jong has shown no desire to leave the Camp Nou and it would be a tall order for the club to convince the midfielder to leave, given his fractured relationship with the player.
