Caglar Soyüncü is being one of the great revelations of English football this season. After the great year he has done with the Leicester City jersey, He has become a great candidate to strengthen the center of Barça's defense.
However, the culé interest in the Turkish central is not something new, because Barça club scouts have watched him since 2016, when he played in the ranks of Altinordu, a team from the Turkish second division.
Caglar was the first player in this competition to land in a major league, the Bundesliga. Freiburg signed it motivated to build a future project. For two years he trained at the Teutonic club and, In 2018, Leicester paid almost 23 million euros for it.
His first year in foxes It was hard. He was unable to play the preseason due to injury and He did not have minutes due to the high level of the usual center pair, led by Harry Maguire. This season, after the signing of Maguire by Manchester United, the outlook has changed radically, as his performance has allowed him to be chosen to be part of the best eleven in the English league according to the BBC. Now, Soyüncü is the target of several elite Premier clubs that they will try to sign him this summer. Its market value is 50 million euros.
However, he is not only a desired player in England, as Barcelona would also continue to be interested in their services. His former representative, Mustafa Dogru, who managed the signing of Caglar for Freiburg and Leicester, informed AS that Barça already presented its offer when it was still playing for Altinordu four years ago and recognized the current interest: “It is possible that Caglar could go to play for Barcelona this summer. Barça already wanted to sign him when he played for Altinordu. We have negotiated with them and they have presented a project. But we think that you should go to a team in which you are a permanent starter so that it develops correctly. For this reason, we decided to accept the Freiburg proposal. I think only Liverpool have the power to sign Caglar Soyüncü in the Premier because of their economic conditions, but we must not forget French teams. PSG could be a surprise. “
The two Madrid clubs are also closely following the Turkish defender: Real Madrid and Atlético. Both have watched him since he played in the ranks of Freiburg.
