Barcelona’s interest in Viktor Tsgyankov is understandable. The defending champion La Liga is planning for the 2024 summer transfer period, amid a difficult financial situation. The Blaugrana may have to part ways with some highly valuable players to fund new contracts. Accordingly, they can sell Raphinha for a large sum of money, and Tsygankov has emerged as a possible target to replace the Brazilian international at the Catalan giants.
