According to reports from many well-known journalists such as Romano, Barca are in talks with Bayern striker Levan. Just as Barca fans were waiting, another piece of good news came out: according to Germany's Sky Sports, Barca had sent scouts to buy Stuttgart defender Sousa. Thinking that he had been praised by German star Klinsmann as the "new Ram of the Bundesliga", Barca fans said: Summer window and Levan come together!
Thanks to his excellent performances in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons, Sousa has gained fame. Last season in particular, he became the defender with the most assists in the five major leagues. As strong as Liverpool's Arnold and Robertson, Paris Saint-Germain's Ashraf, were all left behind by Sosa. Coupled with the same excellent back defense and interception ability, German football star Klinsmann called him the "new Ram of the Bundesliga".
Seeing that Sousa has performed so well, all the Champions League giants are interested in signing him. That includes Chelsea and Bayern. According to the well-known journalist Falk, Chelsea once asked for a purchase in the winter window this year, but gave up because of Stuttgart's high price of 30 million euros. It is worth mentioning that Sosa himself is very eager to switch to the giants. In a recent interview with the media, he publicly said that he hopes to change the environment in the summer.
Seeing this, Barca struck. According to The German Sky Sports, Barca have sent scouts to negotiate with Stuttgart. After the media reported, Barça fans were excited: hurry up and buy a left-back, this is much more important than signing Levan! If you don't buy anyone, Alba will die of exhaustion.
Come to think of it, the left-back position is Barca's weakest link of the season. After selling Firbo to Premier League powerhouse Leeds United in the summer window last year, only two left-backs, Balde and Alba, remained. Given Balder's lack of experience and ability, both CoachEsman and Harvey have put the burden on veteran Alba. The intensive schedule of multi-front combat not only made Alba's state fluctuate greatly, but also caused him to accumulate fatigue. To this end, Harvey had to let right-back Dester play a left-back, which in turn led to a shortage of right-backs. Therefore, Barça fans are looking forward to getting a left-back, which is even more important than the introduction of Levan.
Considering That Valencia insisted on not letting Gaia go, Barca had to try Plan B: to buy Sousa. It is reported that his contract has a 25 million euros liquidated damages clause that will take effect at the end of the season. Combined with the highlights of Sousa's last two seasons, it is definitely worth the money. Especially in the case of Luc De Jong's hopes of staying in the team, Sousa's accurate cross will become a new weapon for Barca's "head team".
Of course, Barca need to face competition from other giants this time. In addition to Chelsea and Bayern, Arsenal, Tottenham and other teams are also interested in signing Sosa. Fortunately, Barca's revival under Harvey's leadership is promising. Coupled with generous salaries and outstanding past achievements, it is still very promising to reach a deal. As many Barca fans have said: looking forward to Sosa and Levan summer window together!
