Impressive in the jersey of Betis Sevilla, Nabil Fekir caught the eye of FC Barcelona. The Catalans would be ready to drop a big sum to afford the French international.
Very active on the winter transfer market, FC Barcelona has recorded the arrival of Ferran Torres, Dani Alves, Adama Traoré and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. And now that the attacking sector is strengthened, the midfield is now the next priority. Despite the emergence of Gavi and Nico Gonzalez, the complicated situation of Frenkie De Jong forces the Catalan management to look elsewhere to enlist another creative environment this summer. As informs Sportthe solution may lie in Real Betis.
Indeed, Joan Laporta would greatly appreciate the profile of Nabil Fekir. The midfielder trained at Olympique Lyonnais is becoming more and more essential with the Andalusian club. Arrived in 2019, Fekir quickly established himself in the eleven of the Green and White and made a sparkling start to the year with already seven goals scored and nine assists delivered, in all competitions, in 29 matches played. The attacking midfielder walks on water with a surprising Real Betis third in La Liga.
Barça ready to invest 60 million euros
Closely following the performance of the French international, the Blaugrana management is ready to drop 60 million euros to enlist him soon.

At 28, the former Gone is now linked to the Verdiblancos until 2026 and his management does not intend to let him go below 80 million euros, according to the Catalan media.
The operation therefore seems complicated, despite Joan Laporta’s desire to enlist him. For his part, the ex-Lyonnais explained last October that he wanted to focus on his current club. “You never know in football, but the truth is that today I don’t think about other offers. I’m at Betis and I’m very happy here (…) I’m learning every day and I hope I can continue like this.”he said at the microphone of the show Todo al Verde. A complicated deal to negotiate for Laporta and his teams…
