DBasia.news – Barcelona are reportedly looking for Bayer Leverkusen forward Patrik Schick. The striker performed brilliantly at Euro 2020 with the Czech Republic national team.
Barcelona need additional energy on the front lines. Xavi Hernandez reportedly wants to get rid of Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong, who left Ronald Koeman.
Barcelona also glanced at a number of attackers. According to Mundo Deportivo, one of them is Patrik Schick.
At Euro 2020, Patrik Schick showed his spurs. The former AS Roma player scored five goals. The number is the same as that of the competition’s top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo. Unfortunately, Schick lost for assists.
Patrik Schick’s sharp form continues at club level. This season, he has scored 18 goals in the Bundesliga. The nick is five goals adrift of Robert Lewandowski who is at the top of the top scorer list. Meanwhile, when compared to Erling Haaland, Schick is three goals ahead.
However, it is believed that Barcelona will not be easy to get Patrik Schick. With appearances that are on the rise, Schick is estimated to have a price of 50 million euros. Moreover, he is still under a long-term contract until the summer of 2025.
In addition, it is difficult to see Bayer Leverkusen let Patrik Schick leave midway through this season. Especially, with the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season in sight.
In the transfer market this winter, Barcelona’s front line got additional ammunition in Ferran Torres. Meanwhile, at the back, the presence of Dani Alves is expected to make the right side stronger.
