Barcelona eyeing Guedes to replace Depay

A reporter reported that in order to introduce Depay , Atletico Madrid has reached an agreement with Barcelona and will pay a transfer fee of 3 million euros. However, it is currently reported that Barcelona is interested in Wolves' Portuguese player Gonzalo Guedes to replace Depay.


Gonzalo Guedes is a Portugal international and former Valencia player who currently plays for Wolves in the Premier League. According to foreign media reports, Gerdes joined the Wolves in the summer of 2022 and has been trying to adapt to life in England. However, it is now reported that Barcelona coach Xavi likes the player Guedes very much and wants to sign him.


It is said that Guedes has talked with Harvey in private and agreed to the transfer of Harvey. Barcelona may rent Guedes for 6 months first, and will officially sign Guedes in the summer after the end of the season. Guedes' agent has a very good relationship with Barcelona's chairman, so he may be the key to the success of this deal.


However, there are other media reports that Barcelona may not sign Guedes. Rather than signing Guedes, Barcelona wants to use the wages generated by Depay's departure to pay the club's players such as Gavi, Ignacio Pena and Yali, according to a Catalan journalist. Handro came to sign up for a new contract, making them first-team players.


Although there is such a statement, it is just a rumor. After all, Gerdes is an excellent offensive player, but his current state is not very good due to injuries. If Guedes really joins Barcelona, I believe that once Guedes recovers, he will be able to do his best to help Barcelona on the court.
