Barcelona monitor Gabriel Martinelli, Kaoru Mitoma and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ahead of potential summer moves, report Mundo Deportivo's Fernando Polo and Sergi Sole.
The board believe Barca should use the 4-3-3 formation on a permanent basis and strengthen the team with a pure left winger who provides dribbling and unpredictability.
The problem is it's difficult to imagine Blaugrana land one of these three star attackers amid the complicated financial situation. Things could only be possible if Barca sell several big players.
Martinelli is a key Arsenal player whose current deal expires only in 2027. Mitoma also has three years left on his contract with Brighton while his estimated value is €50m. Same for Kvaratskhelia, although the sources emphasises that the Georgian is among the lowest-paid players in the Napoli squad and he may be willing to sign for a big club as soon as possible.
Here are the players' stats this season:
- Gabriel Martinelli: seven goals, three assists in 28 appearances;
- Kaoru Mitoma: three goals, six assists in 25 appearances;
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: six goals, five assists in 30 appearances.
