Barcelona are reportedly eyeing up Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Napoli and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao as winger reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window.
Barcelona are reportedly interested in the signing of two wingers from Serie A in January.
The Catalan club have enjoyed a productive start to the 2024-25 campaign, winning 11 and losing just two of their opening 13 matches in La Liga.
As a result, Barca are currently occupying top spot in the La Liga standings, already six points ahead of arch rivals and European champions Real Madrid.
Speaking of the continental scene, Hansi Flick‘s troops have also made a promising start to their Champions League adventure, winning three of their opening four matches.
Following the final international break of the calendar year, Barca will return to La Liga action on November 23, when a trip to Celta Vigo is scheduled.
Barcelona want two Serie A wingers?
According to Spanish outlet SPORT, Barcelona are eyeing up the services of two wingers from Serie A ahead of the upcoming January transfer window.
The report firstly states that the Catalan giants are interested in securing the signature of Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the New Year.
It is understood that the Georgian star is keen on a move to Camp Nou, where he feels that he would have a better chance of adding to his trophy cabinet.
Napoli are supposedly in the process of attempting to tie Kvaratskhelia down to a new deal, however the attacker’s wage demands are proving an issue.
As well as the 23-year-old, it is believed that Barca are monitoring the situation of Portugal international Rafael Leao at an out-of-form AC Milan.

Do Barcelona need forward upgrades?
Boasting a forward line of Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, it is hard to argue that Barcelona are in desperate need of new starters.
That being said, the squad depth – especially on the flanks – behind the aforementioned trio has been raised as a concern by Flick and sporting director Deco.
As a result, it would be wise for the La Liga pacesetters to enter the New Year market for attackers in order to strengthen their chances of snatching the Spanish crown off Los Blancos.
