Barça Echoed €10M Offer for Club Brugge Winger Jesse Bisiwu

New Offer Meets Resistance from Brugge

Barça have reiterated a €10 million bid for Club Brugge’s promising winger Jesse Bisiwu, a move first reported by Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad and Spain’s SPORT. The initial proposal was turned down, but sources close to the negotiations indicate that contact remains active. Brugge is expected to reconsider if Barcelona increase the figure and include a sizable percentage of any future sale. The 18‑year‑old is viewed as one of Europe’s most exciting prospects, and the Catalans are eager to secure his services before the window closes.

According to reports, Deco and Joao Amaral are handling the talks on Barcelona’s side. The clubs are reportedly near a compromise, with the Dutch side warming to the idea of a higher cash offer plus a sell‑on clause. Should the deal go through, Bisiwu would sign a four‑year contract and initially link up with Barça Atlètic. However, the plan is for him to earn his place in Hansi Flick’s senior squad, working under Juliano Belletti.

Barcelona’s pursuit of Bisiwu fits a broader strategy of bolstering the wings. This summer already saw the club capture Anthony Gordon from Newcastle for €80 million, and they are closing in on Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi on a discounted deal. Both Gordon and Adeyemi, like Bisiwu, are primarily left‑wingers, underscoring a shift in Blaugrana tactics.

Preparing for Life After Raphinha

Raphinha, a fan favourite at 29, has missed more than 20 matches in the 2025/26 season due to hamstring problems. Two of those absences came in the Champions League quarter‑finals against Atlético Madrid, contributing to Barcelona’s aggregate exit. With Saudi Arabia reportedly keen on signing the Brazilian, Barcelona might be open to moving him this summer. Simultaneously, they are courting Julian Alvarez, adding depth to the forward ranks.

The club’s focus on younger wingers signals a long‑term plan to transition away from reliance on older attacking talent. Bisiwu’s age and upside make him a cornerstone of that vision, offering both immediate impact and future growth. Barcelona’s summer windows have increasingly emphasised quick, affordable signings that can integrate with the academy structure, a model that seems to be continuing with the Bisiwu pursuit.
