After the disappointment of Nico Williams' absence due to his renewal with Athletic Club, FC Barcelona has completely reformulated its plan for this summer transfer window. The blaugrana club has quickly identified a trio of new clear targets: Denzel Dumfries, Luis Díaz and Marcus Rashford. Each of them fills specific needs within the system that Hansi Flick wants to consolidate in his first season in charge of the team.
The name of Luis Díaz, the Liverpool winger, is back at the center of Barcelona's agenda. Although the English club has categorically refused to negotiate, Barça has not given up. At the "Camp Nou" they believe that a new attempt could open a window, taking advantage of the Colombian's desire to join a team where he can play a more important role. His explosiveness and dribbling are qualities that Flick highly values, with the aim of increasing the danger on the wings.
On the other hand, Marcus Rashford is seen as a strong alternative. The English striker is not having the best moment at Manchester United, but his talent remains unquestionable. Barcelona believe that a change of environment could revitalize his career, and a transfer would bring experience and flexibility to the offensive department. Talks have already begun, and although his departure from Old Trafford will not be easy, Barca sees the possibility of negotiation — especially if the player expresses a desire for a change.
Meanwhile, the right-back position remains a priority. Denzel Dumfries is seen as an interesting option thanks to a €25m release clause that will be activated in July. The Dutchman, a regular for Inter and the Netherlands, offers power, depth and attacking presence – exactly what Flick is looking for in his wingers. Barcelona's sporting directors are closely monitoring his situation, aware that the clause is valid for a limited time.
With limited resources, Barcelona are forced to act quickly and precisely. This trio – Dumfries, Díaz and Rashford – represents an ambitious but feasible plan to restore enthusiasm among the fans and shape Flick's project.
