Spanish media outlet Diario AS are reporting that Barcelona are interested in signing former Newcastle man Ayoze Perez after discovering a €4m release clause in his Real Betis contract.
After a five-year spell in the North East featuring plenty of ups and downs, Perez has gone on to make a decent career for himself having won the FA Cup with Leicester and playing in Europe before returning to his native Spain in 2023.
It’s been a decent season for the attacker who netted nine times in 30 La Liga appearances this season, though he may be in line for a huge move to one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Barcelona’s are facing financial issues and it’s likely they sell some big names this summer while looking for some bargain deals to help the squad compete in La Liga and in Europe.
Should this move actually materialise we could actually be living in a world where two ex-Newcastle attackers in Ayoze Perez and Joselu are playing for Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively. What a time to be alive!
🚨 Barça are interested in Ayoze Pérez, who can play as an attacking midfielder or left winger. He has a contract with Real Betis until 2027, but with a €4m release clause, making the move economically feasible. @diarioas 🇪🇦 pic.twitter.com/O4f8ypIoVI
