Barcelona club management is focused entirely on contracting with the Tunisian of Tunisian descent, Monaco striker Wissem Ben Yeder, to compensate for the absence of Uruguayan star Luis Suarez, who suffered an injury that will keep him out of the field for four months, according to the Spanish newspaper "Sport".
Ben Yeder (29 years) has a contract with Monaco until 2024, and scored 14 goals this season and made six goals in 16 games, which makes the player who moved last summer from Seville to Monaco for 40 million euros, the focus of the Catalan club.
It is noteworthy that Suarez, who underwent surgery on his right knee, on the 12th of this month, will be absent from it for four months.
Barca's attempts to annex Ben Yeder come after the administration failed to negotiate a loan for German striker Timo Werner from Leipzig, the same response that the Catalan club got when it opened the door to negotiate with Arsenal star Gabon Obamyang.
