Ayoze Pérez has entered FC Barcelona's transfer agenda to strengthen the forward line before the market closes. The 32-year-old forward is under contract with Villarreal until 2028, and his departure could be negotiated below a clause set at around €30 million, according to David Sánchez's information.

This move comes after Barcelona has advanced in securing the arrival of Rodri Hernández from Manchester City. The midfielder is already in Barcelona to finalize his signing and complete a four-year contract, while the club continues its search for the forward requested by Hansi Flick.

Ayoze Pérez is favored by Hansi Flick for FC Barcelona

Ayoze Pérez is one of the alternatives being considered by FC Barcelona if they fail to sign their primary target for the number nine position. Julián Álvarez remains at the top of the list, but financial difficulties in his acquisition force Deco to explore other options.

As explained by David Sánchez on Radio MARCA, Ayoze is one of the forwards approved by Flick. The German coach deems the addition of a forward as a priority following the departures that occurred in the attacking sector during this summer.

Moreover, the player would be willing to consider a move if Barcelona initiates talks with Villarreal. Ayoze is familiar with LaLiga, capable of playing both as a forward and from wide positions, and would not require an adaptation period to the Spanish league.

His contractual situation allows Villarreal to negotiate. The Valencia-based club announced his signing from Real Betis in August 2024 on a four-year contract, which remains valid until June 30, 2028.

Villarreal holds the decision on his departure

Villarreal would need to accept negotiations for Ayoze Pérez to switch clubs this summer. The reference figure hovers around €30 million, but David Sánchez's information suggests that the price could be reduced through an agreement between both clubs.

Ayoze currently remains part of the Yellow Submarine squad. The forward featured in both LaLiga and the Champions League last season and continues to be part of Villarreal's sporting plans, despite the numerous offers that have come in for him this summer.

Barcelona's scenario will depend on the outcome regarding Julián Álvarez. Deco still sees the Argentine as the primary option to reinforce the attack, but the operation's cost requires the club to have other names ready before the market's closure.

With Rodri's arrival, efforts can now be concentrated in that position. The Spanish international has already gone through some preliminary procedures for his signing, and Barcelona aims to complete another offensive signing before finalizing its squad.

The next step will be to see if FC Barcelona turns interest into formal negotiations with Villarreal. If Julián Álvarez ends up being out of reach, and Deco explores alternatives, Ayoze Pérez will be among the names considered to strengthen Barcelona's attack in LaLiga.
