Football can take many turns, and in this World Cup in Qatar, some things are made very clear. There are footballers who take a step forward and make a name for themselves on a global level
This tournament could change their future. And this is where, for example, Barcelona is shown watching one of the winning players in the World Cup
Barcelona set their sights on the Portugal star
FC Barcelona needs players to continue revolutionizing the team. I’m looking for a striker who could replace Robert Lewandowski but who has a future because of his youth, few names left. But in the World Cup, there is a player, Rafael Leao, a key player with Portugal and very important in Milan, and he is only 23 years old
The truth is that Barcelona, who see that they lack an attacking position because they don’t trust Memphis Depay, believe that Leao could be the answer. Because he is versatile and a different footballer, he knows how he can adapt to different attacking positions and Xavi Hernandez really likes that
In addition, Liao will be the first candidate to join Barcelona in January. However, his contract expires in 2024 and his market value is €85m. Therefore, it seems that although Barcelona will go for the signature, it will be very difficult to achieve due to the economic problem
But Liao is a different footballer too because of everything he has outside of football. He has his own clothing line called “Son is Son” aka WAY 45, which is his stage name as a singer. He is an absolutely amazing Portuguese footballer in many ways
It must be said that Barcelona signing Leao would be ideal in many aspects. Apart from football, it will be a great alliance on a business level. The truth is that WAY 45, an emerging rapper in the world of music, could have more success with Spotify, which is his big platform and the main sponsor of Barcelona
Therefore, we will see what happens with Liao, who is already considering a new club and leaving Milan. Barcelona will certainly be an option, but other big clubs will also appear, such as Real Madrid, who are also following the Portuguese player closely, as reported by AS. However, now Rafael Leao only thinks about the World Cup in Qatar and winning the cup with Portugal, and then the time will come to consider his future
