Barcelona plotting move to sign Manchester City star this month - Reports

Barcelona are reportedly planning to make a move for Manchester City winger Jérémy Doku in the ongoing transfer window. The 22-year-old's current contract with the Premier League giants is valid until the summer of 2028.

According to a recent report by SPORT, Blaugrana are looking to strengthen their squad in this January transfer market and Doku's situation at Manchester City puts him on the Catalans' target list. Lately, Pep Guardiola has opted for Savinho over the Belgian star in the starting XI, and Omar Marmoush's arrival further endangers the Anderlecht graduate's spot in the squad.

With not having the odds in his favor at Etihad, Doku is reportedly looking for a transfer away, and Barcelona has been considered as one of his next possible destinations. Blaugrana are reportedly set to propose a loan deal until the end of the season for him.

The LaLiga gaints have been interested in bolstering their left wing, having been linked with multiple names over this transfer window. However, the Catalan club's financial struggles raise questions about how they could accommodate a new signing.

Jérémy Doku has been sidelined for Machester City's last three matches with an unknown injury. Back in November 2024, the winger missed four games due to a hamstring injury. He has started in 14 out of the 22 appearances he has made for Pep Guardiola's side this season while registering six goals and seven assists.
