While Barcelona are scrambling around Spain trying to find themselves an emergency striker (it seems they have their mind set on Martin Braithwaite), they are also planning for the future, as every big club should be.
Still relying on La Masia to bring players through, the Catalans also look abroad for young talent, which is what they’ve done for Mustafa Kapi.
The 17-year-old, currently contracted to Galatasaray, is out of contract in the summer, which makes him even more attractive since all the La Liga club would have to pay are ‘formation fees’.
France Football are the ones reporting the news, and they explain that despite a dream start to professional life with the Turkish club (he became their youngest player ever in 2018), things have now turned sour.
Kapi is said to be in an ‘open conflict’ with Galatasaray because he refuses to extend his current deal, which has caught the attention of Barcelona.
The Catalan club have ‘asked about the possibility of bringing him in’ and those in charge of transfers at the La Liga champions are said to be ‘advancing’ on the matter.
