FC Barcelona has already established initial contact with Alberto Moleiro’s camp to gauge a potential move in the upcoming transfer window, according to the latest whispers. The 22-year-old Tenerife native is back on the club’s radar.
Barcelona may be looking for more depth at left wing due to changes in the squad.
The board is not keen on triggering the 30 million euro purchase option for Marcus Rashford. Ferran Torres seems to have permanently settled into a role as an alternative for the number
nine position. There’s even persistent murmurs that Raphinha could leave for Saudi Arabia – though the player himself has played down those rumors.
There are many who say Moleiro has “Barça DNA.” The club previously tracked him closely during his time at UD Las Palmas due to his knack for combining in tight spaces. His growth since then has been encouraging.
Following his 16 million euro move to Villarreal last summer, the Canary Islander has truly broken out under Marcelino García Toral.
He has logged 2,312 minutes across 35 La Liga matches, earning a spot in the starting XI 28 times and netting 10 goals. His consistency has been so impressive that Spain boss Luis de la Fuente is seriously considering him for the final FIFA World Cup squad.
“It would be an incredible reward to go to the World Cup and I feel ready for it,” the player said recently.
Certainly, it won’t be easy for Barcelona to pry him away. Villarreal shielded him with a contract running until 2030 and a 50 million euro release clause. However, there is talk of a verbal agreement from the Castellón-based club to sit down and negotiate a lower figure if Barcelona calls.
The player’s own desire is a decisive factor in this scenario. It is said that Moleiro has been a Barça fan since childhood, and his ultimate professional dream is to play as a home player at the new Camp Nou.
There are those within the club who see his potential as similar to another Canary Islander, Pedri. With Villarreal wrapping up the final stretch of the campaign against Rayo Vallecano, the blaugrana offices are already in motion to try and ensure that their paths cross this very summer.
