Barcelona officials, led by Joan Laporta, are preparing for a major signing in the upcoming winter transfer window of 2024 to bolster the team. Hansi Flick has started to urge management to secure new contracts to enhance the squad, particularly after their recent defeat to Monaco. This loss highlighted the need for Barcelona to make impactful signings to remain competitive for all titles.
In this context, the Spanish newspaper “Sport” has reported that Barcelona’s management is looking to sign Austrian defender Samson Baido from Salzburg during the upcoming winter transfer window of 2025. The report notes that Barcelona is aware of the defender’s significant talent, which has also attracted interest from Manchester City and other English clubs. Additionally, the newspaper mentions that Barcelona has dispatched scouts to evaluate Baido, a 20-year-old considered one of the top talents in Austrian football.
