BREAKING NEWS: A significant setback for Real Madrid following Barcelona’s four-goal triumph. Joan Laporta has triumphed in the transfer market by securing two top-tier players that Real Madrid was keen to sign, ruining Pérez’s efforts.

Hans Flick guided Barcelona to an impressive 4-0 victory over Real Madrid at Camp Nou in the latest Spanish League clash, cementing Barcelona’s lead at the top of La Liga. With this result, Barcelona now has 30 points, maintaining a six-point advantage over Real Madrid, who hold second place with 24 points.

Beyond the on-field rivalry, a new competition between the clubs has emerged in the transfer market, where Barcelona President Joan Laporta and Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez are vying to secure key signings.

As reported by “El Nacional,” one primary target for both clubs is German defender Jonathan Tah, whose contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in June. Despite being integral to Xabi Alonso’s plans at Leverkusen, Tah is eager to take on new challenges outside the Bundesliga, having already dismissed a move to Bayern Munich.

Regarded as one of Europe’s top defenders, Tah’s potential transfer is particularly critical for Real Madrid, who face an uncertain future in defense. Veteran David Alaba is contending with a serious knee injury that might lead to early retirement, and Jesús Vallejo no longer fits into Madrid’s long-term plans.

However, Barcelona appears to have an edge in securing Tah. Hans Flick’s role as Barcelona’s head coach might be a decisive factor for the German player, who may favor joining the Blaugrana over Madrid. The report suggests that another rising talent, Jarek Gasiorowski, is also on both clubs’ radar but shows a stronger inclination toward Barcelona.

Gasiorowski reportedly recognizes that Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, is often reluctant to invest in young talent, evident from limited playtime given to players like Endrik and Arda Güler, which makes the Camp Nou an appealing choice for him.

Tah and Gasiorowski have reportedly given a positive response to Barcelona’s proposals, making them likely to be the club’s first summer signings in 2025. These potential acquisitions would mark significant wins for Laporta in the transfer rivalry with Pérez, as Barcelona looks to strengthen its squad to remain at the top of Spanish football.
