Despite the financial difficulties Barcelona face, they appear to be willing to take on Manchester City and Liverpool in the fight for Sudakov. The youngster could cost in the region of €50m, a considerable but justified figure given his quality and long-term potential.

Manchester City are looking to add more creativity in the final third of the pitch, especially considering Kevin De Bruyne's injury problems this season. The Premier League champions recognise the need to deepen their squad and Sudakov presents himself as an attractive option to fulfil that role.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are also on the lookout for attacking reinforcements, especially with the possibility of a Mohamed Salah exit. With the need to replace his creativity and goalscoring contribution, the signing of Sudakov could be the perfect solution for the Reds, considering his versatility to operate in both the centre and on the wing.

However, the asking price could be an obstacle for these clubs. Although Sudakov would represent a quality long-term acquisition, shelling out €50 million could be a financial challenge for some teams. Still, competition for the young talent is at its peak, with clubs such as Juventus, Napoli and Bayern Munich also showing interest in his services.

Player for the future

With three goals and assists in all competitions this season, Sudakov has proven his worth on the pitch and his potential to improve further when he joins a team of a higher calibre. The 21-year-old's future is shrouded in uncertainty, but the excitement of playing for clubs such as Barcelona, Manchester City and Liverpool will surely tempt him as he decides his next destination.
