Maxi Gomez could be a promising long-term investment for Barcelona.

The Celta Vigo striker has caught the attention of many European big guns since moving to La Liga just 2 years ago. He became a huge hit in his debut season at the Spanish top flight, scoring 17 goals from 36 appearances.

He has continued his excellent record this term, finding the net 13 times and helped Celta in avoiding the relegation zone. Surprisingly, he has averaged just 2.3 shots per game despite his high productivity. Hence, he can score much more than that if he chooses to join Barcelona.

A tall and physically strong striker, Maxi has won incredible 4 aerial duels on average per game. He will surely add more dimension to Barcelona's play with his impressive aerial capabilities and probably would not mind becoming Suarez's temporary backup player.

His release clause currently stands at £43.5 million, a much cheaper price compared to Jovic or Griezmann. He is now 22 years old and still has many years ahead to play at European top level. Thus, the Celta superstar could be a promising long-term investment for Barcelona.
