Barcelona have been linked with a transfer for a huge name that would undoubtedly create the best attacking lineup in the world.
After several difficult seasons, Spanish giants Barcelona are back on top of La Liga after demonstrating that they are once again one of the best sides in the world.
In 13 matches, Barca have scored an incredible 40 goals thanks to the impressive performances of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and young superstar Lamine Yamal.

And now, the La Liga greats are reportedly eyeing up a massive move for another of the best attackers in the world, and the player is said to be keen on the move.
According to Barcelona expert Reshad Rahman, AC Milan star Rafael Leao is 'crazy' over a potential move to Barcelona after watching how the side has developed under new manager Hansi Flick.
Posting on X, Rahman wrote: "Rafael Leao wants Barcelona, he’s crazy over it! He believes they’re at a great level, is continuing to grow under Hansi Flick, and a stadium that’s going to be the best once done.

"He wants to join a team where he can win big & Barca tempts him."
Rumours of Leao moving to Barcelona began circulating in recent weeks, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reporting that the 25-year-old was one of the club's two top transfer targets for either the January or summer windows.
The Portuguese winger had previously been linked with a move to the Spanish club in August, with Milan said to be demanding €90 million to part with the talented forward.

Since joining the Serie A giants from Lille in 2019, Leao has made 224 appearances for AC Milan, scoring 61 goals and assisting 55.
If he were to join Barcelona, he would no doubt look to slot straight into the starting lineup, but could face competition from Raphinha, who has enjoyed a breakout season this campaign.
The former Leeds United man has scored 12 goals and assisted 10 through 17 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona this season and was rewarded with the La Liga player of the month award in August.
