The striker finished second on the Bundesliga top scorers' chart last term
Barcelona were heavily linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland just a few weeks ago. However, the Bundesliga giants later came out to declare that the striker wasn't for sale and that put an end to the speculation.

With the Blaugrana still in need of a proper number nine to count on for the future, it shouldn't be a surprise to see them still busy in the market. They may not need to go far in their search. Another gem awaits them in the Bundesliga. Eintracht Frankfurt striker Andre Silva is definitely a player they can bank on.
In fact, the Portuguese ranked higher than Haaland on the Bundesliga goalscoring chart last season. He finished the term with 28 league goals, one ahead of his counterpart, who completed the term with 27. Silva also set up five goals for his teammates during the term.
Playing alongside players like Messi and Dembele at Barcelona would surely skyrocket his numbers in front of goal. He definitely won't cost much. The Portuguese would indeed be a decent signing for the Catalan giants.
