FC Barcelona have scouted long and hard over the course of the summer transfer window to find possible replacements and potential new arrivals in a bid to redress the squad with more depth and overall quality than it possessed last season as Barcelona look to achieve even greater things this time around.

The unexpected loss of 26-year-old French winger Ousmane Dembele ended up being a very unfortunate loss for Barcelona however, with Xavi Hernandez in particular having been left without the services of his most trusted winger for the 2023/2024 season.

Since then, FC Barcelona have attempted to find a potential and adequate replacement that could fill in for Dembele and provide the offensive creativity and threat that Barcelona has become so synonymous with.

Players such as Bernardo Silva, Neymar Jr, and even Joao Felix have all been or continue to be options for the task at hand that Barcelona have in mind for an offensive signing.

In a recent update provided by Spanish outlet SPORT, however, FC Barcelona have been offered the services of Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr’s offensive midfielder Anderson Talisca as another option to reinforce the offensive attributes of the squad.

Currently playing in the Saudi Pro League, the Brazilian has particularly become heralded as the primary partner of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr as the duo continues to provide the primary attacking threat for their club.

The 29-year-old possesses a keen eye for goal and offensive creativity, showcasing said talents across the globe having played in Portugal, China, Turkey, Brazil, and most recently in Saudi Arabia.

With the grand influx of players heading towards Saudi Arabia, it is no secret that there will also be departures to incorporate new arrivals.

Talisca believes himself to be among those and a potential European return could still be on the cards for an offensive midfielder who is also adept at playing as a winger, something that could be of particular use to FC Barcelona.
