FC Barcelona has included forwards Junior Kroupi, Pio Esposito, and Benjamin Šeško in its summer 2027 transfer agenda. Signing a center forward is one of the main requests from Hansi Flick for the future.

Unable to unlock the addition of Julián Álvarez after failing to secure his transfer in the recent summer market, the sports management led by Deco and coach Hansi Flick has started monitoring these three young profiles to establish a long-term offensive reference in the blaugrana squad. The goal is to add an attacker who can bring more quality to a strong offensive rotation that includes Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Gabriel Jesus, Anthony Gordon, and Karim Adeyemi.

Priorities of Deco in the market: Junior Kroupi and Pio Esposito

The priority alternative of FC Barcelona's sports management is Kroupi, a 20-year-old forward from Bournemouth. The Catalan club tried to sign him in the last transfer window, but a preseason injury halted the operation for the Frenchman, who is under contract until June 2030 after scoring 13 goals in 35 matches last season in the Premier League. He was one of the top young players in the English top flight last season.

Meanwhile, Deco is closely monitoring Esposito, a 21-year-old striker from Inter Milan with a contract until 2030. The Italian forward has scored 1 goal and provided 1 assist in 2 matches played in the current Serie A, standing out for his physical presence in the box. He fits well with Hansi Flick's playing style and offers something different from what is currently available.

Benjamin Sesko, a more established option in the elite

The third option being evaluated by FC Barcelona's coaching staff is Šeško, a 23-year-old Slovenian striker who belongs to Manchester United. The forward arrived at Old Trafford last summer for 76 million euros, scoring 12 goals in 32 matches during the previous season.

Šeško has not solidified a starting position in Michael Carrick's lineup, who frequently uses Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha in the attacking line. This situation opens the door to negotiate a departure if the player does not increase his playing time in England. The Red Devils are open to selling him if a good offer arrives, considering their plans for big signings next summer.

FC Barcelona's scouts will monitor the three players live in their respective leagues during the first 15 official matches of the 2026-2027 season. Deco and Flick will meet in May 2027 to select the final candidate and initiate formal contacts with the clubs holding their rights.
