Barcelona have reportedly joined the pursuit of Monza forward Gustavo Varela, according to Spanish outlet Barca Blaugranes. The Catalan club are said to be monitoring the Serie A player who has caught attention with his scoring form in Italy.

Varela, who currently plays for Monza, found the net during his side's match against Bologna at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on October 31, 2026. His performances in the Italian top flight have apparently attracted interest from multiple clubs, with Barcelona now entering the race for his signature.

The report, published on November 5, 2026, suggests the Blaugranes are evaluating the striker as a potential reinforcement for their attacking options. No transfer fee or contract details have been disclosed at this early stage of the speculation.
