Arthur Cabral: The next Lewandowski?

Barcelona were recently linked with Arthur Cabral as an option up front. The brazilian hitman could cost around 15 million.  Something which Barcelona have great problems in paying, gone are the days when that idiot Bartomeu used to spend 30 million on players not good enough for Barcelona B.  However, I believe it is a risk worth taking rather than bringing in some old striker like Cavani. Firsty, looking a bit at his profile, Cabral is an all round number 9.  He has decent pace, he is really strong, he is a good presser, has decent link up and can hold up the ball and is very good aerially too. If we compare him with Lewandowski, there arent many differences.  As you can see, they are basically the same players, with Cabral being better Aerially and pressing wise and Lewandoswki edging it in Passing Accuraccy.  Cabral has banged in 25 goals and 8 assists in just 25 games this season and altough it is in the Swiss League, it ...

Joan Laporta Wants Erling Haaland

Since Laporta's first term as Barca president, it is a well-known fact that he has good relations with a lot of agents, Mino Raiola being the one who stands out among the rest. Mino Raiola, who already made it easier for Barca to sign then target Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now looking to make it easier for Barca to sign superstar Erling Haaland. Laporta was in Italy to witness Pedri win his Golden Boy award, while he was there he also met with super-agent Mino Raiola over a potential summer signing, Erling Haaland. Laporta has been looking for ways to finance this move for months, ever since he got elected as president he wanted to get a superstar and Haaland fits the profile perfectly. He would be a leader in the team even though he is only 21, he would be older than most of the current Barca players, undoubtedly having more experience than them. He has played a total of 73 games since joining Borussia Dortmund, scoring a staggering 74 goals in the process. He only missed 25 games thro...

Here's a look at some potential signings: And ré Onana The former La Masia goalkeeper (25) who was banned by UEFA for violating doping rules has been linked to pretty much every big club in Europe.

The player still didn’t accept the renewal offer for Barca, the player has the will to stay but his agent is playing with his mind by saying that he can earn more money if he plays in another club.

Barcelona Show Interest In Man United's Edinson Cavani

After a move to Manchester United in the summer of 2020, the former PSG striker had a surprisingly good start at United, scoring 10 goals in 26 games last season in the Premier League and 6 goals in 5 Europa League games. But things changed this summer when Cristiano Ronaldo joined the club, first, he lost his number 7 shirt to Cristiano, then he lost his place in the team to him. Now he currently has 1 goal in 5 Premier League games, another reason for his displacement as a starter this season are his injury woes, he has suffered 3 injuries so far, missing 11 games.
