Flick, Laporta and Zahavi met in Barcelona: new signing in sight?

The sports management of FC Barcelona is working tirelessly to address each and every need of the Catalan side in the current summer transfer market. In this summer window, although the club has already secured the signing of Joan García and, reportedly, Roony Bardghji, there are still some loose ends to tie up.

Key meeting between Flick, Laporta and Zahavi in Barcelona

In that regard, as revealed by the program El Chiringuito, Barça’s coach Hansi Flick, club president Joan Laporta, and Pini Zahavi—intermediary in the Marcus Rashford deal and recently linked with Frenkie de Jong as well—held a meeting lasting about an hour and a half in the Catalan capital. The meeting took place at the Hotel Majestic in Barcelona and ran from 19:00 to 20:30.

Afterwards, Flick left in his personal car. On the other hand, Pini Zahavi and Joan Laporta left the location together, in the car of the Catalan president.

What was discussed in the meeting between Flick, Laporta and Zahavi?

It’s worth noting that the content of the conversation has not been disclosed. However, the main topic, as mentioned earlier, is believed to have been Barcelona’s interest in Manchester United’s left winger, Marcus Rashford, who is apparently being represented in this case by the Israeli agent.

The left winger is of great interest to the Catalan club. Due to the increasing complexity in negotiations for Luis Díaz (Liverpool), Rashford is now reportedly seen as the top-rated option in terms of value for money to strengthen the left flank.

Other possible topics on the table: Frenkie de Jong and... Lewandowski?

Likewise, it’s not ruled out—as previously mentioned—that they also discussed Frenkie de Jong’s contract renewal. The midfielder reportedly broke ties with his long-time agent Ali Dursun and is now said to be advised by Pini Zahavi himself.

Finally, and entering speculative territory, Robert Lewandowski may also have been discussed. According to some rumors, there was interest from a Saudi Arabian club in making a major offer for him this summer. However, it currently seems unlikely, as all signs point to ‘Lewy’ fulfilling the final year of his contract with Barça without issue.
