Exclusive: Barcelona looking to accelerate talks for 20-year-old RB Leipzig winger | OneFootball

There has been a lot of movement within FC Barcelona in recent weeks. The club is looking to reinforce their squad for next season, and they need a major acquisition to ensure that they achieve that objective. Unfortunately, the current financial situation of the club is not exactly helping Barcelona.

For that reason, one of the priorities for the club is to find a good balance between the financial aspect of any operation and the sporting one as well. At the moment, options that satisfy both requirements are limited and there seems to be a lack of consensus within the club.

After all, Marcus Rashford remains linked to the club but an upcoming meeting with Manchester United could dictate more about where his future lies. However, another name might now gain a lot of momentum within the Barcelona offices.

As per our sources, RB Leipzig star Antonio Nusa is seen as an option that would satisfy both of Barça’s requirements for a new signing. At the age of 20, he is still a young player and also does not have a necessarily extreme price tag attached to him for now.

The Bundesliga player is someone who is able to find value on both wings and even as an attacking midfielder, and the Norwegian talent combines his flair with a unique explosiveness. Thanks to this versatility, he provides a profile that is suitable for Barcelona and what they need.

A low transfer fee could be significant

Reportedly, he has a price tag that would be below the €40 million mark, and that could be quite achievable for Barcelona. Interestingly, even his market value at €20 million, as per Transfermarkt, reflects a player who should be seen as a great market opportunity. With such a low-risk yet high-reward operation, it would be best for the Catalan giants to pursue his signing as fast as possible.

On that note, our sources claim that the club is looking to accelerate talks with RB Leipzig soon. Moreover, Nusa is seen as a player who would provide immediate quality to Barcelona in a position where they need it and he has more than enough room to continue developing as well thanks to his age.
