Barça keeps working for Mazraoui but nothing has been done

The Bayern Munichwho has been pursuing the signing of a right-back for some time, has fully entered the bidding to reinforce himself with Noussair Mazraoui, 24 years old. According to the portal ‘Sport1’, the Bavarian club is willing to offer the defender of the Ajax a succulent contract of 10 million per season, a higher proposal than the one presented by the FC Barcelona. Journalist Fabrizio Romano, a specialist in ‘mercato’ issues, reported that during the negotiations between the Bayern Munich and the agent Mino Raiola (the same as Erling Haaland) for the signing of Ryan Gravenberch also put on the table the name of Mazraoui. And even that the defender would have had a conversation with the coach Julian Nagelsman and Oliver KahnCEO of Bayernto learn about the future project of the German club.

The Barça does not hide that Mazraoui occupies a preferential place in the list of objectives for the next campaign to join without paying any transfer, since his contract in Amsterdam expires June 30. Although some voices considered it almost done, from sources familiar with the conversations with his agent, it is insisted that he is not closed and that he continues to work on it, although being aware of the existing competition and the economic limitations of the Catalans. It has also transcended the interest of the Milan and of Borussia Dortmund for getting their services. In the case of the German club, of what could enter for a transfer of Erling Haaland could leave a part for the salary of Mazraoui.

The 11-time Moroccan international, absent from the list for the playoff against the Democratic Republic of Congo which will give a direct place for the World Cup in Qatar-2022, was seen in action last week by Jordi Cruyff at Ajax-Benfica (0-1) of the Champions League in a match where he could also follow Nicolás Tagliafico (29) and Alexander Grimaldo (26), two candidates to reinforce the demarcation of the left side. Both are free in 2023 in Ajax and Benficarespectively.
