According to sources, Barcelona will try to sign Wout Faes, a 26-year-old Belgian international, from Leicester City, who were just promoted to the Premier League.
Although the squad is preparing to return to the Premier League, they have had some ups and downs this summer.
They lost manager Enzo Maresca to Chelsea, who led them to the Championship title last season.
However, they were able to keep Jamie Vardy at the club and extend his contract.
The Foxes could lose another crucial player during the summer transfer window.
FC Barcelona is apparently interested in Faes, according to a report by the Spanish daily, Fichajes.
With the summer transfer window open, the Catalan giants are looking for a centre-back.
Their curiosity has been piqued by the 26-year-old’s understanding of the game, his aggression in duels, and his ability to initiate moves from the back.
Wout Faes has remained consistent for Leicester City.
Since joining Leicester City from Stade de Reims in September 2022, Faes has proven to be a consistent player for the club.
The Spanish giants had defensive concerns last season, and they are eager to rectify them this summer.
Leicester’s unspecified asking price is viewed as a barrier for the Spanish squad, which is struggling financially.
