Calvin Stengs is also part of Barça’s list of goals

Since Ronald Koeman was officially presented as the new coach of FC BarcelonaThere are several names of Dutch footballers who have been linked as possible reinforcements for the Barça team for the next 2020-21 season. Memphis Depay, Van de Beek, Boadu … and now the latter’s teammate, Calvin Stengs.

While ‘Fox Sports’ already asked this past Saturday to Myron Boadu Due to the alleged interest of Koeman and Barça, this Sunday ‘Sky Sports’ has been the medium that has published that the new culé coach wants to take over the services of a young and talented winger who has already made his debut with the absolute from Holland in recent months. It is about Calvin Stengs, whom Koeman would have recommended to the technical secretariat of Barça.

At 21, the left-handed winger of AZ Alkmaar had the opportunity to make his debut for the Netherlands senior team in November 2019, led by Koeman himself, and took advantage of it by giving two assists in the 5-0 victory over Estonia. Myron Boadu, his partner in AZ and also a presumed target of Barça, achieved the last goal of the game.

This season 2019-20, the young Calvin Stengs has been able to score five goals and distribute eight in the 2019-20 Eredivisie, championship in which AZ has finally finished runner-up. He also scored five goals and gave four assists in the UEFA Europa League.. With a contract until 2023, it is priced at about 20 million euros and at Barça they follow him even before Koeman arrived.

A Barça with many names in attack

Both Stengs and Boadu are recommendations from Koeman himself to a technical secretariat that, before reinforcing with new faces on the attack front, will have to give way to players who are not available, such as Braithwaite (and maybe Luis Suárez), in addition to decide in the next few weeks what the immediate future of Pedri and Francisco Trincao, with options to stay in the first team.

FC Barcelona wants to rejuvenate the squad and give it talent and a hunger for titles, but he will have to measure each of his movements very well so as not to be wrong once again in the transfer market. Signings such as Boadu and Stengs should also compete with the irruption of Ansu Fati, Trincao, Pedri or the return of a Dembélé wanting to show, once and for all, which is a potential star.
