FC Barcelona president Laporta is aiming at making a splash in the market with two big transfers that excite both Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski. However, not everyone in the squad is equally excited. Ferran Torres, for example, could be directly affected by the two impossible transfers that the Barça president plans to make, as they could reduce his playing time.
Laporta Pursues 2 Impossible Goals: Lamine and Lewandowski are Delighted; Ferran Torres, Not so Much
Laporta knows that he cannot compete financially, so he is looking for more reasonable alternatives. That's why, in view of the next transfer market in 2025, the president of FC Barcelona has set his sights on two world-class players who are out of contract. Their transfers are virtually impossible, but Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski would definitely celebrate it.
The possible transfers of Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne, two of the best players in the Premier League, have generated a lot of excitement among the Barça fans. Lewandowski, who's proven to be the team's offensive reference this season, is in favor of sharing the front line with figures of Salah's stature. The Egyptian player would provide speed and balance, while De Bruyne would provide superior creative quality in midfield, complementing the Pole's qualities.
For his part, Lamine Yamal, Barça's young prospect, would also be delighted with the chance to learn and grow alongside these renowned players. At his young age, Lamine has shown innate talent, so having Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne as teammates would raise his level of play even further.
Laporta Wants Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne at FC Barcelona
It is important to remember that both Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne were not always recognized for their quality. Both played for Chelsea under José Mourinho, but failed to make the most of their time. The Portuguese coach's decisions forced them to seek new horizons.
Mohamed Salah found his best self at Liverpool, where he's won the Premier League and Champions League, becoming an idol at Anfield. Kevin De Bruyne, meanwhile, established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world at City, winning multiple titles under Pep Guardiola. Both are free in 2025 and Laporta could move on.
Ferran Torres is Affected the Most
However, not everyone in the dressing room is so excited about these possible transfers. Ferran Torres, who's shown improved performance and gained more minutes under Hansi Flick, could be at a disadvantage. The addition of Salah, in particular, would directly affect his position on the field, reducing his chances to shine.
Laporta knows this, but he isn't worried. If he has to decide between the two, he will keep the Egyptian player. He would arrive for free and could allow the sale of Ferran Torres without having to look for another replacement; we'll see what happens.
