Barcelona have discovered Norwegian players to such an extent by the extreme qualities that Erling Braut Haaland shows. – They are now looking past the Norwegian goal machine in their desire to strengthen their attack with a young star from the Norwegian national team.
Antonio Nusa has become one of the prominent names on Barcelona’s wish list. The 20-year-old winger from RB Leipzig has made a strong entry into the blue-green agenda after scouts from the Catalan club closely followed his performance as Norway qualified for next summer’s World Cup.

His progress has not gone unnoticed and at Camp Nou they already see him as an ideal profile to strengthen the wings in the coming years.
His price, which could be between €35 million and €40 million, makes the signing a relatively accessible option considering the current market prices and the significant room for improvement he still has. Although he is not particularly goal-threatening, Nusa offers a number of qualities that fit perfectly with Barcelona’s style of play: dribbling, verticality, creativity and a great ability to combine with teammates in tight spaces.
A profile that suits the new Barcelona
Barcelona have been looking for a winger who can bring freshness, speed and individual skills for some time. Antonio Nusa meets all these requirements. His ability to break defensive lines with dribbling and his courage to take on defenders make him a particularly attractive profile for a team that needs to regain unpredictability in the final third of the pitch.
Furthermore, his youth makes him a project for both the present and the future. It’s not just about immediately strengthening the squad, but also about securing a player with the potential to grow within the blue-green system. With good adaptation and suitable surroundings, Nusa can become an important piece in the medium-term sporting project.
An affordable cost to his development
RB Leipzig is aware of the quality of their player and will not make his departure easy. Still, the amount between 35 and 40 million euros is estimated to be manageable for a club like Barcelona, if they can balance their finances and free up salary space in the summer. In an inflated market, that amount is almost a bargain for a young, international-playing winger with experience from European tournaments.
Moreover, compared to other options considered on the market, Antonio Nusa represents a very interesting investment. His value could increase significantly in the coming seasons, which means that Barcelona will not only strengthen their squad but also make a strategic move for the club’s future.
His key role for Norway
Nusa’s growth has not only been seen at club level, but also at the international level. With Norway, he has gained increased confidence and has been a key player in their qualification for the World Cup in 2026. His speed on the wing and his ability to create dangerous situations have been crucial in several crucial games.
The opportunity to play in the World Cup while already a Barcelona player is another factor that speaks in favor of this transfer. For the player, it would represent a final leap in his career, while for the club it would be a prestige boost to have a player who can shine on the world’s biggest football stage.
