Arsenal and Manchester United are two contenders to sign Amadou Onana from Everton.
According to reports from Spain, Barcelona is reportedly considering a move to sign the midfielder in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Sport magazine suggests that Everton is open to the idea of allowing Onana to leave at the end of the season, and Barcelona is now aware of the potential cost involved in securing his services.
Barcelona is looking to offer around €40 million for the player, but Everton is said to be seeking double that amount, €60 million, a figure considered “excessive” by the La Liga giants.
Complicating matters for Barcelona is the reported interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, both of whom are said to be keen on making offers once the transfer market reopens. Both clubs are believed to have the financial capacity to meet Everton’s asking price, leading to doubts about Barcelona’s chances of winning the race for Onana’s signature
The situation is fluid, and it remains to be seen whether concrete offers from Arsenal and Manchester United will materialize. Nevertheless, Barcelona may need to reassess their approach, particularly as Everton’s improved points tally makes relegation seem less likely, potentially strengthening their negotiating position.
