Barcelona is where Robert Lewandowski aspires to go.
Despite the severe financial condition at the club, BARCELONA is reportedly looking to add SEVEN players this summer.
Boss Xavi is aiming for a hat-trick of top athletes, including Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich. According to Mundo Deportivo, the short list also includes Sevilla defender Jules Kounde and Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.
If Frenkie de Jong goes, Barca will reportedly make a move for Bernardo Silva.
This summer, boss Xavi has Jules Kounde as one of his key targets.
This summer, Andreas Christensen is anticipated to sign with Barcelona as a free agent.
It's believed that Franck Kessie and Barcelona have reached an agreement.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso of Chelsea are inexpensive choices.
Barcelona allegedly has a financial strategy in place that will enable them to sign all three players, hopefully before the start of their preseason tour in America on July 16.
Over the following month, Barca anticipates receiving a financial boost from TV rights, licensing, and goods. Additionally, the proceeds from the sale of Frenkie de Jong could be used.
Manchester United and Barcelona are still negotiating on a transfer for the Dutchman, with the Spanish side wanting £74 million.
After announcing his desire to leave Bayern Munich, Lewandowski, 33, is said to have already reached a personal agreement with Barcelona. According to Mundo Deportivo, the clubs now just need to agree on a transfer fee.
Although Bernardo, 27, is also respected, he won't be the goal unless De Jong ultimately decides to move to Old Trafford.
Bernardo is viewed by Xavi as the ideal De Jong successor.
Though the 23-year-old has been closely associated with Chelsea, Kounde is a primary focus.
A player-plus-cash deal, which would involve transferring right-back Sergino Dest to Sevilla, is reportedly something that Barca president Joan Laporta is exploring.
Although Financial Fair Play regulations are reportedly preventing them from being registered at the moment, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen are anticipated to arrive on free transfers.
The Chelsea combo of Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilucueta are also keeping an eye out for bargains.
Both players' contracts expire the next year, but SunSport exclusively learned that Azpilucueta wants to leave this summer.
