Barcelona’s pursuit of Nico Williams has hit a roadblock due to his hefty €55 million release clause, leading the club to consider other affordable alternatives. In addition to names like Luis Diaz, Dani Olmo, and Jaden Philogene of Hull City, Barcelona is now eyeing Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens as a potential option, as reported by Diario Sport.
Bynoe-Gittens, a talented teenage winger who made the move from Manchester City to Dortmund in 2020, has shown promise with 44 first-team appearances for the club. While he is yet to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup, his contract is set to expire next summer, making him an attractive option for Barcelona as a potential ‘Plan B’ if the move for Williams falls through.
Former Dortmund teammate Jude Bellingham has already endorsed Bynoe-Gittens as a player destined for greatness, highlighting his explosive pace and skill in one-on-one situations. With the upcoming 2024/25 season on the horizon, Barcelona sees the young winger as a prospect worth investing in to bolster their attacking options.
Bynoe-Gittens’ potential has not gone unnoticed, and his inclusion in the conversation alongside established stars like Williams showcases Barcelona’s strategic approach to building a competitive squad for the future. As the transfer window progresses, the Catalan club will be keeping a close eye on the talented winger as they weigh their options in the pursuit of strengthening their attacking lineup.
