It promises to be another busy transfer summer for FC Barcelona. The Catalans still have to watch their money, but that does not stop them from pursuing the necessary top transfers.
They have to be creative to stay within the imposed financial limits of LaLiga. That is why they often focus on transfer-free players or players who they can pick up at a discount for other reasons.

Barça are after Fofana
In the latter category, Barça is now also thinking of a Red Devil. The Spanish champions are looking for offensive reinforcement for next season and that is why they should, according to Sports World have put Malick Fofana on their list again.
The 20-year-old has undergone a meteoric development since he arrived at Olympique Lyon two years ago and was already big game last summer. However, in recent months it has remained quiet about a possible transfer.
Discount due to injury
This was mainly because Fofana no longer played. After all, he has been out of action since October, after suffering an ankle injury in a league match against Strasbourg following a heavy tackle.
But that is precisely why Barça seems to want to strike now. They hope that they can keep the price down now that Fofana is no longer in the spotlight. There is talk of a possible transfer fee around 30 million euros, a lot less than the amounts that were mentioned in the summer.
