FC Barcelona has tabled a €10 million offer for 18-year-old winger Jesse Bisiwu from Club Brugge, though Brugge initially rejected the bid. Negotiations are ongoing with the Belgian club likely to accept a slightly higher fee that includes a share of any future transfer profits. If finalized, Bisiwu would join Barcelona’s reserve side, Barça Atletic, with the potential to advance into the first team under manager Hansi Flick and coach Juliano Belletti. This move aligns with Barcelona’s strategic focus on strengthening their left-wing options.

This summer, Barcelona has already secured Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United for approximately €70 million ($80 million) and is close to acquiring Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi. Adeyemi, who can play across the forward line but primarily operates as a left winger, is expected to arrive for a base fee of €22 million plus €7 million in add-ons due to his contract’s final year. The club’s interest in these three left-sided attackers suggests they are preparing for a possible sale of current winger Raphinha.

Raphinha, 29, has endured significant injury setbacks, missing over 20 matches last season, including two critical Champions League quarterfinal games. Meanwhile, his rising profile has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, making his sale a plausible step for Barcelona to refresh their squad. Additionally, the club is reportedly pursuing another forward, Julian Alvarez, as part of their offensive revamp.

Barcelona’s efforts to reinforce the left-wing demonstrate a clear intent to ensure depth and talent in attacking areas while managing transitions involving key players like Raphinha. With Sporting Director Deco and Joao Amaral facilitating talks, the club aims to blend promising youth with experienced signings to secure both immediate impact and long-term development in their lineup.
