If nothing extraordinary, this coming summer will bring us one of the most intriguing transfer window we have seen in recent years. The two rising stars of world football – Arling Braut Holland and Killian Ambape, are strong in the headlines across the European media as the two are set to arrive in Spain, one to Barcelona and the other to Real Madrid.
As far as the Netherlands are concerned, from the very first moment that Joan Laporta took over, there were reports that the Dortmund star had become a major target at the club. This morning (Saturday) it is reported in the Catalan ‘Sport’ that Laporta has already contacted the player’s agent in order to land the excellent Norwegian at Barça at the end of the season.
According to those publications, Barça’s main obstacle comes from two directions – first, Real Madrid are still in the picture when it comes to the Netherlands and Manchester City have also been mentioned as likely to absorb him and the English have no shortage of cash. In addition, Laporta will have to free up over € 100 million in order to make room in the budget for the Netherlands.
The representative of the Netherlands is Mino Raiola the super agent, and according to the same reports Laporta is in good contact with him and the two talked about the hot 20-year-old player, who scored 31 goals in 30 appearances in Dortmund this season, including big performances in the Champions League with 10 wins in 66 appearances .
