BARCELONA TARGET AC MILAN & BAYER LEVERKUSEN STARS IN AMBITIOUS SUMMER PLANS – BUT FINANCIAL HURDLES REMAIN
Cash-Strapped Catalans Eye Elite Full-Backs – But Financial Hurdles Remain
Barcelona have added AC Milan’s Theo Hernández and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong to their summer transfer shortlist, as the club looks to revamp its full-back positions. However, the financial constraints at Camp Nou mean any move for the highly-rated duo will require creative maneuvering.
Both players are coming off exceptional seasons, with Hernández establishing himself as one of Europe’s best left-backs and Frimpong starring in Leverkusen’s historic Bundesliga title win. But with Barça still battling La Liga’s strict spending limits, securing either signing will be a major challenge.
Why Barcelona Want Hernández & Frimpong
Theo Hernández (AC Milan)
✔ Elite Attacking Left-Back – 5 goals, 6 assists in Serie A
✔ Physical & Defensively Improved – No longer just a wing-back
✔ Experience at Top Level – UCL pedigree, France regular
Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen)
✔ 8 Goals, 10 Assists in Bundesliga triumph
✔ Blistering Pace & Dribbling – Perfect for Xavi’s system
✔ Release Clause (~€40m) – More affordable than Hernández
The Financial Roadblocks
💰 Hernández Valued at €60m+ – Milan under no pressure to sell
📉 Barça Must Sell First – Likely departures: Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Jules Koundé
🔄 Player Swap Deals Possible – Ansu Fati could be included
Competition & Complications
🔹 Man City & PSG Also Eyeing Frimpong
🔹 Hernández Happy at Milan But Open to Step Up
🔹 Barça’s Wage Issues Still Unresolved
What’s Next?
Sales Needed Before Bids Can Be Made (July Priority)
Frimpong More Likely Due to Lower Cost
Hernández Would Be Statement Signing
Can Barcelona pull off these deals? Or will finances force them to settle for cheaper alternatives?
