Barcelona Targeting Van de Ven from Tottenham

The Catalan club has identified two clear priorities for their squad rebuild: a center forward and a top-level left-footed central defender. While Alessandro Bastoni of Inter Milan remains the preferred target, the financial complexity of that move has Barcelona exploring alternatives like Van de Ven, who has been on their radar for months.

Barcelona's sporting department, working closely with manager Hansi Flick, continues preparing for the next phase of their sporting project. The club's planning remains active despite the upcoming presidential elections, with final transfer decisions expected only after the new leadership is confirmed.
