FC Barcelona has set its sights on Neyser Villarreal, a young Colombian forward who is making waves in his country. At 20 years old, this striker born in Tumco and current player of Millonarios FC has caught the attention of the Blaugrana, who are closely monitoring his progress. Villarreal already stood out on his own at the past South American U-20 Championship, where he was the top scorer with eight goals, sparking the interest of several European clubs.

Barça, which has recently focused on capturing emerging talents with growth potential, sees in Villarreal a future opportunity at low cost. The forward's contract with Millonarios expires in December, and so far, he has resisted extending his contract, which facilitates a possible move in the upcoming transfer window, as reported by 'MundoDeportivo'.

Atlético de Madrid tried to preemptively secure Villarreal and even reached an agreement with Millonarios amounting to around four million euros plus variables, but the player's entourage's refusal halted the operation. Vasco da Gama also unsuccessfully attempted his signing earlier.

They Would Consider Him a Long-Term Target

Barça's sports management seriously considers incorporating Villarreal, although it is not yet clear whether his immediate destination would be the reserves or a loan to a European team that allows him to continue his progression. What is evident is that his name is among the priorities to reinforce the offensive sector in the future.

With a powerful playing style and a great goal-scoring ability, Neyser Villarreal could become another example of Barcelona's strategic bets in the South American market, seeking young talents with potential and room for growth. The Catalan club remains attentive to every step of the Colombian player.
