Although FC Barcelona has already been extremely busy in the current transfer phase, the Catalans’ plans are still not complete. A missing piece of the puzzle should be brought in this summer. There are increasing signs that this part is BVB professional Thomas Meunier.
In two positions, FC Barcelona would be the “Mundo DeportivoAccording to him, he would like to do more. A new right-back is number one on the wish list. Of the original three candidates, only one remains: BVB professional Thomas Meunier.
Because the transfer of Chelsea’s César Azpilicueta burst and with Villarreal’s Juan Foyth another candidate is now seriously injured, the Belgian in the service of Borussia Dortmund is Barca’s last option on the right-back position, it is said.
A few days ago, those responsible for FC Barcelona are said to have contacted Meunier again after there was said to have been an exchange before. The Catalans already showed interest in Dortmund in winter, but BVB put a stop to a transfer at the time.
Now, according to “Mundo Deportivo”, Barca will try again to sign him.
Barca do not yet want to meet the BVB requirement
However, there are still a few hurdles before the transfer can officially be initiated. A sticking point is the transfer fee. BVB allegedly demands between 15 and 20 million euros for its full-back. This sum is still too high for Barca.
At the same time, the Catalans still need to part with at least one player before Meunier can come. The “Mundo Deportivo” lists Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Memphis Depay, Sergino Dest, Martin Braithwaite and Frenkie de Jong as possible farewell candidates.
