Barcelona set to be priced out of move

However, as per the report, Barcelona are set to be priced out of a move for Bynoe-Gittens as Borussia Dortmund have set a high price tag, around €80 million, making a deal difficult for the Catalan club.

The German giants sees Bynoe-Gittens as the next Ousmane Dembele and hope to secure a significant transfer fee for him.

Given Barcelona’s current financial constraints, such an expensive signing would likely only be possible if a major sale – such as that of Ronald Araujo – were to materialise.

If Barcelona cannot afford the transfer, the winger is expected to head to England. with clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and even Tottenham are emerging as leading contenders to secure his signature.
