Real Madrid and Barcelona plan wonderkid acquisitions for summer rebuild | OneFootball

Barcelona are ahead of Real Madrid in the La Liga title race, with Hansi Flick’s side four points clear at the top. 

But with nine games remaining in the season, Madrid will also fancy their chances of overtaking their rivals in the league table. 

While the main focus of the two European giants remains the Champions League and La Liga, they also have an eye on the summer transfer window. 

Madrid and Barcelona planning wonderkid signings this summer

According to Cadena Ser, Los Blancos are planning to trigger buy-back clauses for Victor Munoz and Nico Paz. 

Munoz, who has turned 22, has hit the ground running at Osasuna, making 11 direct goal contributions in 31 appearances across all competitions. 

Paz, 21, has also been earning rave reviews in the Serie A with Como, scoring 10 goals in 29 league matches. 

The duo will join the club’s pre-season tour and will get the opportunity to stake their claim for a permanent spot in the senior team. 

Meanwhile, Barcelona are plotting a summer move for Bayer Leverkusen wonderkid Christian Kofane. 

The 19-year-old has caught the eye of the Blaugrana with his exceptional performances in the Bundesliga this season. 

He has struck five goals and created four assists in 24 league games for Leverkusen. 

But Barcelona face huge competition from Arsenal, who are currently in pole position to land the striker’s services. 

Leverkusen are also expected to demand a fee above £50 million for the young marksman. 

This could be a major stumbling block for Barcelona given their recent financial troubles. 

Barca are looking to cut costs, as they are ready to let Robert Lewandowski leave if he doesn’t agree to a significant reduction in his salary. 

They are also considering another loan deal for Marcus Rashford instead of triggering his £26 million buy-out clause. 

Although Manchester United have made it clear there will be no haggling over Rashford.
