Joan Laporta is betting on his signing, neither Getafe nor Marseille, he wants him at Barça right now.

The President is clear about whom he should sign: he could be a key piece for next year

Barça hasn't started the season in the best possible way. The team led by Hansi Flick is going through a period of doubts, with inconsistent performances that have caused concern among the board and the fans. The defeats against Sevilla and Madrid, along with the lack of offensive effectiveness, have shown that the project needs immediate adjustments if it wants to compete for all the titles.

Despite having a talented squad, Barça hasn't managed to keep a consistent level of play. The pressure has increased, especially on figures like Lamine Yamal, who was the team's great revelation last season. However, this season he isn't showing the same freshness, a reason that has led Joan Laporta to consider signings.

Joan Laporta sets his sights on the best possible signing

Lamine Yamal's physical condition is starting to suffer after his first great season at the top level. Barça is relying too much on him and the young academy player is starting to feel it. Joan Laporta knows that Lamine can't do everything alone and is already looking for a winger who plays in the same position so that the "10" can rest when he needs to.

For this reason, the sporting management has put the name of Mason Greenwood on the table, one of the most in-form footballers in Ligue 1. The English forward, currently at Olympique de Marseille, is having a spectacular start to the season. In just 12 matches, he has scored 8 goals and provided 4 assists, attracting Joan Laporta's interest.

Joan Laporta insists on Mason Greenwood

Mason Greenwood was already on FC Barcelona's radar a couple of seasons ago, when he was on loan at Getafe. Joan Laporta tried to complete his signing, but the Catalan club's financial situation didn't allow it. In the end, Greenwood ended up joining Marseille, where he has finally exploded.

In France, he is excelling and Joan Laporta considers him the ideal substitute to give Lamine Yamal a rest. Although Tottenham and other teams have also shown interest in Mason Greenwood, Laporta wants to get ahead and secure his signing as soon as possible. The idea is for him to arrive in the next transfer window to increase competition in the attacking line and give Flick more options.

From the player's camp, his desire is to keep growing and return to compete at the top European level. Barça, because of their history and play style, fits perfectly with his football profile. Mason Greenwood could be tempted by Joan Laporta to return to LaLiga and show his enormous talent.
