Barcelona are set to do some serious shopping this summer.
They’ve already secured the signing of Frenkie de Jong from Ajax, and are still hoping they can add his teammate Matthijs de Ligt.
Antoine Griezmann is clearly of the belief that Barca will move for him this summer, and the Catalan club have been linked with several more high profile signings.
But it’s not only at the top end of the market that the club are working. They’re also looking for young players who can be put into the system, come through with Barcelona B, and then hopefully have a chance in the first team one day.
On Wednesday, we covered claims from the Netherlands that 18 year old Ludovit Reis had flown to Spain to complete a transfer from FC Groningen, and today there are claims in the French media covering interest in another youngster.
L’Equipe report Barcelona, Lyon, Monaco and Saint-Etienne are all keen on Lucien Agoumé, a 17 year old who currently plays for Sochaux.
The French club needs sales and are therefore looking to get €5-6m from the player’s exit.
