Barcelona are reportedly willing to consider transfer offers for three talented forwards with potential consequences for Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Ousmane Dembele and Robert Lewandowski have been labelled untouchable at the Nou Camp but their attacking peers could be the subject of high-profile moves by the end of the month.Â
Despite suffering through financial difficulty over the past few years, Barca chief Joan Laporta pulled some strings behind the scenes to oversee a free-spending summer transfer window that saw the likes of Raphinha, Jules Kounde and Lewandowski arrive in Catalonia.Â
That has landed manager Xavi with a squad capable of winning the La Liga title, and La Blaugrana currently sit three points clear at the top of the table, but it has also left him with unenviable selection headaches in certain areas of the pitch.Â
In Ousmane Dembele, Ansu Fati, Raphinha and Ferran Torres, Barca have four high-quality wide options to choose from, which has left some of the finest wingers in Europe scrambling for minutes.Â

One the other hand, the same report highlights that La Blaugrana would supposedly be willing to listen to offers for Fati, Torres and Raphinha. The development could spur three Premier League heavyweights into action with players admired at Old Trafford, the Emirates and Stamford Bridge now believed to be in the shop window.Â
United have previously been linked with Fati and were even rumoured to be closing in on a whopping £133m move back in 2020. Now two years down the line and a less attractive prospect due to injury issues and slow progress, the Red Devils could be tempted to revisit their previous interest due to the possibility of striking a good-value deal.Â
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta’s previous spell at Man City didn’t overlap with Torres’, but the 22-year-old winger made a positive impression on the Spaniard at the Etihad with intelligent positioning and clinical finishing. The Gunners are pushing to sign a winger this month, and if their swoop for Mykhaylo Mudryk doesn’t work out, Torrres could be one of the next best options.Â
Finally, Chelsea were in the mix to sign Raphinha during the summer but saw the Brazilian snatched away at the last minute after Barca made their move. The Blues are also interested in Mudryk, but they may have to do without him amid claims that he would prefer to sign for Arsenal, which could lead manager Graham Potter back to Raphinha with La Blaugrana listening to sensible offers.Â
