On Thursday morning, the Catalan media revealed that Barcelona are in talks to sign Gonçalo Guedes from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
It was said by Mundo Deportivo that agent Jorge Mendes is working on a loan move, and the player himself had shown ‘great interest’ in the transfer.
Later on, it was the Portuguese media who came up saying Benfica were working on that signing as well.
Having the forward grown at their academy, the Eagles were now hopeful they could bring back home, and were also in talks with his representative for a temporary spell.
Now as the Spanish media covers this tussle, outlet AS comes up to say that the Wolves player already has a preference for his future, and that’s obviously Barcelona.
It’s claimed that Guedes already his wish to Jorge Mendes, claiming he’d rather move to the Camp Nou than to Atletico Madrid or Benfica, while there are also other clubs interested.
Barcelona are well known for being in a delicate financial situation, and that’s why they’re checking how to make that operation possible.
It’s said the priority is to do something similar to when signing Adama Traore from Wolves, which is a loan with no buying option.
Meanwhile, their manager Xavi is said to be ‘delighted’ with the possibility of having Guedes in his squad.
