Immobile linked to replace Luis Suárez

New candidate for Luis Suárez's spot at Barcelona. 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' inform that Immobile is also on the Barcelona board's mind as a possible signing for next season. He is, alongside Lautaro, the main attacker that has been linked with Koeman's side.

He won the Golden Boot for the 2019-20 season. How he won it caught the attention because he had, for several weeks, Cristiano Ronaldo on his tail. The Portuguese even kept on starting matches with the Serie A won to try and reach him, but he didn't manage it.

His 39 goals and 9 assists this season are the reasons why Barca are considering his arrival. He would serve to fill the gap left by a Suárez who was asked to leave by the new manager- or the board. He is three years younger and has scored 18 more goals this season.

But who would suit Barcelona better, Immobile or Lautaro? The Italian is worth 53.9 million euros; the Argentine, 87.5, although he has scored less during the season. The main reason is his future potential: he is seven years younger (23) than Ciro.

The exit of Leo Messi is still in the air, and if the board manage it not to be for free, but through a sale, the signing of Immobile could be speeded up. Figures more than 100 million euros have been spoken about, which would give them plenty to face the deal.

If the contrary happens, it would be very complicated. You have to take into account that the club aren't going through their best financial moment. The occasional costly deal- Dembélé, very affected by injuries, or Braithwaite, who doesn't look like staying- have depleted the club's coffers.
