FC Barcelona are reported to be interested in Alberto Moleiro from Villarreal CF, with reports pointing to a future signing rather than an immediate move. His contract runs to June 2030.
The story surfaced on 17 May. Barça Blaugranes and four other outlets reported on 17 May that Barcelona has been in contact with Moleiro’s camp to explore a possible future signing. Yahoo Sports, citing Diario SPORT, says Barcelona have been in contact with Moleiro’s representatives to explore a future signing. Diario SPORT says Barcelona has been in contact with Moleiro’s environment, with a 50 million euro release clause and Villarreal’s commitment to negotiate if Barça calls.
