Although Deco insisted that Barcelona would not sign any right-back this summer, the Brazilian media UOL still said that Barcelona will introduce Wanderson and "has taken a step forward" in the negotiations.

According to these news, as the main player of the Brazilian national team coached by Ancelotti, Barcelona has the first right to purchase the player, but the issue of financial fair play will become the biggest obstacle to completing the transfer this summer.

The Brazilian media also emphasized that Wanderson's pursuers are not only Barcelona. Tottenham is also actively participating in the battle and is willing to make a considerable offer. Monaco expects to get a transfer fee of more than 35 million euros.

The Spanish tax system is more unfavorable than the British one, which is another factor hindering Barcelona's operation. This difference may cause Monaco to lose up to 15% of the final transfer income, thereby reducing its economic attractiveness.

Wanderson grew up in Gremio's youth training and landed in French football in 2021. So far, he has played 123 games for Monaco, contributing 8 goals and 14 assists. His name has frequently appeared in the Brazilian national team's call-up list in recent years.

Wanderson is a typical Brazilian academic: explosive, daring to fight, aggressive and good at sprinting on the wing. Wanderson's handling of the offensive third zone is also very tactical. Although the introduction of right-back was the top priority of the management a few months ago, Eric Garcia's explosive performance in this position during Kounde's injury changed Deco's plan.

After ensuring the signing of goalkeeper Joan Garcia, Barcelona's priority goal is to introduce a left winger. After mediation by his agent, Nico Williams has surpassed other candidates such as Luis Dias and Rashford and become the most popular candidate.
