FC Barcelona set their sights on an old target to strengthen their pivot

Despite the good performance of its players in the centre of the field, the doubts surrounding the pivot's position 'force' FC Barcelona to study the transfer market in search of possible reinforcements for the following season. Marc Bernal is expected to return with the season already underway, and the future of Frenkie de Jong has not yet found a definitive solution, so the Catalans would be considering some options to 'cover their backs'.

According to the portal 'CalcioMercato.com', from the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou they would have once again set their sights on Stanislav Lobotka, Napoli's 29-year-old midfielder. The footballer is one of the fundamental pillars of the Neapolitan team, who with the Slovakian player in the 'engine room' lead Serie A two points behind their closest pursuer, Inter Milan.

Deco has good reports of the player and would consider him a strategic signing for the midfield. However, his operation will not be easy, since the midfielder is linked to the team led by Antonio Conte until 2027 and the president of the institution, Aurelio De Laurentiis, is known for being a 'tough nut to crack' when it comes to sitting down to negotiate the departure of members of his squad.

Lobotka already had an agreement with Barça

Beyond this, Lobotka's desire could play a key role in his possible signing. In fact, his agent confessed that last summer "we agreed terms with Barcelona, ​​but there was a change of coach." For his part, the midfielder said that "if I had an offer from an important club, I would accept it, but it would not be a problem to stay," so, if there was a concrete interest on the part of the club, no option would be ruled out.
