Barcelona is in the hunt for top honours this season. Leading the La Liga standings, they are also strong contenders for the Champions League title. Additionally, they have a solid opportunity to clinch the Copa del Rey, having already reached the semifinals. Regardless of their potential successes, coach Hansi Flick plans to bolster the squad significantly this summer. Joan Laporta intends to demonstrate that the club’s financial situation is improving and that Blaugrana can afford to sign world-class players.
The primary target is to strengthen the attacking lineup. Flick’s strategy includes acquiring a winger for the left side, allowing Raphinha to play centrally. Barcelona has long been linked with players such as Nico Williams, Luis Diaz, and Rafael Leao. Jeremy Doku has now joined this roster of potential signings. Securing his transfer would undoubtedly be a sensational move for the Catalan giants.
The 22-year-old is not a guaranteed starter for Manchester City. He possesses a unique skill set, especially excelling in one-on-one situations against defenders. However, his decision-making and finishing abilities are areas of concern, evidenced by his mediocre statistics. This season, he has accumulated six goals and seven assists in 24 appearances.
Doku could become a part of Barcelona this summer. His representatives have met with the Spanish club’s officials several times to discuss the potential transfer. Although he is not the top priority for Blaugrana, the cost of his acquisition might be lower than that of Leao or Williams.
