Overview
- Mundo Deportivo reports Barcelona have the 23-year-old Argentine on their radar for the next window, with no formal offer or direct contact described.
- Panichelli has started the Ligue 1 season with eight goals in nine matches, including a standout two-goal display at Paris Saint‑Germain that drew L’Equipe’s front page.
- Coverage frames him as a financially viable option given Barcelona’s limits on expensive signings and registration, with Julián Álvarez cited as the unattainable benchmark.
- Strasbourg purchased Panichelli from Alavés for €16.5 million in the summer, a fee that sets a valuation floor, while River Plate received about €3.2 million via a 20% sell‑on clause.
- The centre‑forward left River as a free agent in January 2023, overcame a serious knee injury at Alavés, and broke out at Mirandés with 21 goals and 8 assists in 2024/25.
