Barcelona on the hunt for defensive midfielder and full-backs ahead of next season

Posted : 10 October 2023
Barcelona is actively searching for reinforcements in the transfer market for the upcoming season. Coach Xavi Hernandez is keen on bolstering the squad, aiming for two players in each position. The focus is on acquiring a defensive midfielder and two full-backs to provide healthy competition in the team.
 
Oriol Romeu currently occupies the role of a defensive midfielder, but Xavi believes that more competition is necessary in this position. Additionally, Barcelona is targeting full-backs for both sides of the back four to strengthen the squad's depth.
 
Financial constraints dictate that Barcelona must look for players who are either free agents or approaching the final years of their contracts. This strategy aligns with their current financial situation.
 
Furthermore, it's worth noting that Barcelona had considered Joshua Kimmich in the past but couldn't secure a deal. They are keeping an eye on his situation at Bayern Munich, as his contract is set to expire in 2025. Xavi has expressed interest in Kimmich, along with other potential midfield targets.
 
In terms of full-backs, while Xavi is content with the performance of João Cancelo and Alejandro Balde, uncertainties linger regarding Cancelo's future. Barcelona will have to negotiate with Manchester City if they wish to secure his services permanently. T
 
o add depth, the club is still interested in signing two new full-backs, given that Sergi Roberto and Marcos Alonso have contracts that are nearing expiration. Juan Foyth has been considered an option, although the cost may pose a challenge, but Barcelona believes negotiations could be more feasible moving forward.
 
Additionally, Xavi is seeking a new striker to eventually succeed Robert Lewandowski, and a deal for Athletico Paranaense's Vitor Roque is already in place. Roque's arrival is expected either in January or the following summer, depending on LaLiga registration.
