Barcelona working on a deal for ‘surprise player’ with €6 million salary

Barcelona have already acquired five players this transfer window in the form of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, and Franck Kessie, and are en route to completing deals for Marcos Alonso and Hector Bellerin.

To say that Barça’s summer has been happening would be an understatement. However, it seems they are far from done.

Gerard Romero claims that Barcelona are working on a deal to sign a ‘surprise player’. His team of reporters tracked down Joan Laporta in the city, and the president confirmed that they have a ‘bomb’ ready in the window.

That said, the name of the player has not been revealed. Laporta did not disclose it, and Romero admits he is not informed about it either.

Romero claims that the club has already inquired about registering said player’s salary of €6 million to La Liga. This is a massive hint about who the player could be, especially after Romero claimed Bellerin will be receiving €3.5 million net.

It has also been confirmed that the player is not Nabil Fekir or Bernardo Silva, with the latter announcing his decision to stay at Manchester City ahead of the new season.

In the next few hours, more news about the player will hit the fan, which is when we can judge and rate the signing.
