Barcelona fans are abuzz these days with discussions about the club's
anticipated position during the upcoming 2025 winter transfer window. Despite
the remarkable progress the team has made under its new German manager, Hansi
Flick, Camp Nou faithful still hope that Joan Laporta's administration can
secure signings to further strengthen Barça’s squad and position the team as a
contender for silverware.
In this article from Goal Reader Blog, we’ll highlight four players who are
likely to join the Catalan side in the 2025 winter transfer window. Stay
tuned!
Rafael Leão
According to highly credible reports, led by none other than the renowned
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona has set its sights on AC Milan’s
Portuguese international forward Rafael Leão for the winter transfer window of
2025.
At 25 years old, Leão, a left winger, has attracted Barça’s interest as a
potential reinforcement for the left flank—especially after the club’s failure
to secure Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams in the previous transfer window.
Rafael Leão’s stats with AC Milan last season: impressive numbers in Serie A's defensive fortress
During the 2023–2024 season, Rafael Leão played 47 matches for AC Milan,
starting 41 of them. He contributed to 27 goals, scoring 15 and assisting 12.
These are commendable numbers, especially considering the notoriously tough
defensive nature of Serie A.
Viktor Gyökeres
Swedish international Viktor Gyökeres, the top scorer for Sporting CP, is
currently one of Europe’s most exciting attacking talents. Multiple reports
suggest that Joan Laporta's administration is keen on bringing the prolific
striker to Camp Nou in the upcoming transfer window.
Given his unique attacking abilities showcased with Sporting CP, Gyökeres
seems unlikely to pass up the chance to join one of Europe’s elite clubs. With
Barcelona’s recent resurgence under Hansi Flick, Camp Nou could prove to be
the perfect destination for the Swedish forward.
Viktor Gyökeres’ stats with Sporting CP last season: a striker of unquestionable quality
In the 2023–2024 season, Gyökeres played 51 matches for Sporting CP, missing
the starting lineup in just three of them. He was involved in an astounding 59
goals, scoring 43 and assisting 16.
Alphonso Davies
Barcelona's ambitions for the 2025 winter transfer window extend beyond
bolstering their attack; the club also aims to strengthen its defense. One
standout target is Bayern Munich’s Canadian international left-back Alphonso
Davies.

full-back’s signature.

five.
Diogo Costa
Barcelona’s efforts aren’t limited to enhancing their outfield positions—they
also aim to solidify their goalkeeping department. Reports suggest that the
club is interested in Portuguese international goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who
currently plays for FC Porto.
Costa, 25, is seen as a potential successor to German international Marc-André
ter Stegen, especially after Costa’s standout performances during Euro 2024.
