Barcelona are said to be in formal negotiations with Sl Benfica over the signing of Vangelis Pavlidis. The forward has been a target for some time, and talks are said to be intensifying as the window progresses. The player remains under contract, but movement looks increasingly likely the longer talks go on. While Barcelona and Sl Benfica continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Tottenham and Al Hilal reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. At 2.73 goals scored per game this season, Barcelona already pose a big threat. Vangelis Pavlidis would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Alongside this, Sl Benfica are said to be exploring Jhon Jader Duran and Joao Palhinha with Barcelona likewise connected to Leon Goretzka, Darwin Nunez and Aymeric Laporte.
