GOAL compiles a list of all completed Barcelona moves in the 2023-24 season thus far.Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva have also been connected with Barca, and it will be interesting to see if the reigning Spanish champions can find a way to sign the players they want with the little funds at their disposal.
In defense, Jordi Alba bid farewell to Camp Nou, following Gerard Pique's departure midway through the 2022-23 season.
That means Barcelona will almost certainly bring in defensive reinforcements as well.
GOAL has compiled a list of all completed Barcelona moves for the current 2023-24 season.Barcelona, the reigning LaLiga champions, are coming off a terrific season under Xavi, and he will be hoping that their excellent performance in 2022-23 will enhance their chances of bringing in some big names before the next season.
Lionel Messi was the most prominent name linked with a move to Camp Nou after two years at PSG, but the Argentine chose to join MLS instead.
Meanwhile, the departure of veteran Sergio Busquets would leave a major void in Xavi's midfield, with Martin Zubimendi and Ruben Neves expected to be the key targets.This summer, Real Madrid is in desperate need of reinforcements. Even before the exits of Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard, and Mariano Diaz were revealed, this was the situation. Fran Garcia, on the other hand, is expected to arrive soon, and deals for Joselu and Jude Bellingham are also expected to be finalized.
However, if Los Blancos are to compete with Europe's top, they must strengthen much further. Kai Havertz is one player they have been extensively linked with in recent days.
Havertz presently plays for Chelsea and, like his team, is coming off a disappointing season. He has, however, been the star of the German national team in recent years.
Havertz has never seemed to fit in the Premier League. However, his performance levels improve in Europe. There is no doubt about his talent, and he appears to have all of the attributes necessary to be a success at Real Madrid. Even before he moved to Spain, the German was associated with Los Blancos.Real Madrid has decided to move Havertz.
According to 90min, Real Madrid have cooled their pursuit of Havertz because to concerns over the transfer money Chelsea is seeking.
Chelsea are thought to be aiming to recuperate the money they paid to buy Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2020. The issue is that the German international has not lived up to expectations since then.
Havertz had his moments with Chelsea, including scoring the club's Champions League-winning goal in his first season. However, he has not maintained consistency or progressed to become one of the world's best players.
