Barcelona are reportedly stepping up their efforts to sign Noussair Mazraoui in the summer transfer window, according to Spanish outlet Info Blaugrana. The Catalan giants are ready to hand the 24-year-old Ajax right-back a five-year contract worth €3.5 million per season.

Noussair Mazraoui had a successful season at Barcelona. Over a decade and a half ago, the Moroccan international joined the Dutch giants as a young player before steadily ascending through the ranks. And the current campaign is his strongest to date, with the player establishing himself as a reliable performer.

In 28 appearances for Ajax in all competitions, the 24-year-old has five goals and four assists. Mazraoui, on the other hand, is poised to leave the Dutch giants in the summer transfer window, as he is eager to start a new experience when his contract expires. And it’s possible that Barcelona will be his next stop.

Despite signing two right-backs in the last two transfer windows, the Blaugrana may look for a new right-back in the summer transfer window. However, Dani Alves, who returned to Barcelona this winter, is nearing the end of his career and is simply a short-term solution for Barcelona.

The Catalan giants are now intensifying their efforts to snap up the Moroccan right-back, having prepared a five-year contract offer for him. The said deal will be worth €3.5 million net per year apart from bonuses

Meanwhile…

Martin Braithwaite is reportedly considering options outside of Barcelona ahead of next season. The Dane was left out of the squad for the trip to Elche at the weekend, despite being fully fit once more, and is starting to see the writing on the wall.

As someone who had really come around to appreciate what Braithwaite brought to Barcelona last year, I also must admit, there isn’t really a place for him in the squad post-January transfer window. The attack is deep enough to not need him at this point and he seems to have come to that realization as well.

In his 57 appearances for Barcelona, he’s certainly made an impact, with ten goals and five assists. The hope for Braithwaite is that he can still get some solid playing time at age 30, and that may require him to leave Barca.
