Barcelona now learn new asking price for 19-year-old Bundesliga Sensation – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have one of the most fearsome attacking lines in Europe, and the talents of this attack were clearly on display last season when they almost reached the UEFA Champions League final.

In the summer, the Catalans brought in even more offensive reinforcements, Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji. Meanwhile, they are still being linked with additional attacking players from the market.

One name that recently emerged on the radar of Barcelona is 19-year-old FC Cologne winger Said El Mala. The German winger has taken the Bundesliga by storm, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists in just 16 appearances.

Now, according to Fichajes, Barcelona and other top European clubs interested in the player now know the new asking price. Said El Mala is valued at around €60 million by FC Cologne after the club rejected a €20 million offer from Brighton, indicating that any potential transfer will require a significant investment.

The forward’s recent call-up to the German senior national team has further validated his rapid rise, and Cologne are preparing for what could be the most expensive sale in their history.

Securing Said El Mala will require careful planning and financial resources as the Blaugranes weigh whether adding him to their already potent attack is worth the considerable outlay, especially with Marcus Rashford’s future still under evaluation.

For now, Barcelona remain aware of Cologne’s price and must decide whether to act quickly or continue observing the Bundesliga sensation’s progress.
