Bayern Munich superstar emerges as ‘dream target’ for Barcelona | OneFootball

With less than a couple of weeks remaining before the transfer window shuts, Barcelona are running against time to sign January target Marcus Rashford.

A recent report from Diario SPORT, though, has indicated that Barcelona have bigger things in mind, particularly when the summer transfer window kicks in.

Jamal Musiala: Flick’s dream signing

The report adds that Jamal Musiala has emerged as a ‘dream target’ for coach Hansi Flick, as he looks to further spruce up Barcelona’s attacking play.

Musiala is considered to be an ideal player for Barcelona due to the dribbling prowess he brings to the table.

Indeed, Musiala is great in one-on-one situations, which is something Barça lack at the moment. The coaching staff, in fact, views the German international as an ideal option for the left-wing or the interior midfield position.

Musiala, for his part, appears to have a special place for Barcelona in his heart, as he was a childhood fan of Lionel Messi.

Potential roadblocks for Barcelona

However, acquiring the services of Jamal Musiala will not be straightforward. It must be noted that the youngster is regarded as one of the best players in Germany and Bayern would not want to offload their star talent that easily.

As per the report, Barcelona would have the cash required to sign the German international next summer. But registering him into the squad will be the main challenge.

That is where Frenkie de Jong could prove to be key. Barcelona believe the Dutchman’s exit could unlock just enough salary space Barça need in order to accommodate someone like Musiala.

That being said, de Jong has shown no desire to leave Camp Nou and it would be a tall ask for the club to convince the midfielder to leave, given their fractured relationship with the player.
