FC Barcelona is seeking to return to the forefront on the international stage and, in this season, it has two wins in the same number of games and is excited to achieve again in Europe's biggest competition, the UEFA Champions League. At the same time, it is looking for new talents to reinforce its squad thinking about the next season for the head coach Xavi Hernández.

The departure of Sergio Busquets to the football of the United States MLS was a hard blow to assimilate for head coach Xavi Hernández, who will go in search of another variant to compete for the position of central midfielder against Oriol Romeu, because the 32 year old footballer is the only option he has at the moment. And that is where the argentinian footballer with a past at Boca Juniors appears.

Alan Varela has only been at Porto for a few months after leaving Argentina where he was at a high level wearing the Boca Juniors shirt, with which he is playing in a highly relevant tournament such as the UEFA Champions League, and there he had the opportunity to face teams of enormous magnitude such as SL Benfica and FC Barcelona, for example. That is why he would have curiously aroused his interest in the culé team due to the high level displayed in his first start in the tournament.

How many millions would Barça have to pay for Alan Varela?

Thus, the sport spanish website Mundo Deportivo reported that Varela is one of the footballers who will begin to follow more frequently and could make the leap to the culé team in 2024, given that he began to look for variants in the midfield. The argentinian player was sold from Boca Juniors to Porto in an operation that was around 9 million euros for 80% of his transfer, and it is that number wich is recorded as a valuation according to the specialized site Transfermarket, although we will have to wait for the portuguese team's decision. Will Varela move to Barcelona or will he stay in Portugal?
