IN TOTAL, NINE CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN 'SOUNDED' FOR BARÇA
Several names and a possible signing: Barça's list of alternatives for its midfield
FC Barcelona has been looking for a midfielder to strengthen the team for the 2024/2025 campaign for several months. There is still no certainty that they will be able to enter the market, but the list of candidates is only growing.
In the FC Barcelona will live , as it seems, a very austere summer in what to signings refers . The financial situation follows without being 'comfortable' for the club and will have to look for solutions, in record time, to go in in the parameters of the financial control of LaLiga and 'cost' of the rule 1:1 to be able to fichar and inscribe to his players of regular way, by what the stage is not the more favorecedor.
In spite of this, the sportive direction has not detained in the research of the possible profiles that would fit in the team that will direct, from this summer, Hansi Flick. The priorities are a player for the band and a mediocentro. For this last, have tanteado several profiles from does a few months and the final decision will depend on the opinion of the trainer and, more important still, of the economic options with which explain in the month of July.
The alternatives that are in the diary of the Barça
In total, according to an information of Sportive World, are seven the mediocentros that are in the diary of the Barça. The most known cases are the ones of Joshua Kimmich and Martín Zubimendi, whose price elevates until the 60 million euros. Both were the 'favourite' of Xavi Hernández and the history has not changed with the arrival of the new trainer, although they are options more than complicated because Bayern of Munich and Real Sociedad, respectively, will not give them.
Recently it has trascended that the group muniqués is opened to the possibility that they open him the door to Kimmich in front of the arrival of Vincent Kompany, put would not go in in his plans. By his part, the Real Sociedad keeps very firm on his player and only would leave him go out if somebody pays his clause of rescission. It is thus that the Barça also has looked to Mikel Merino that has agreement until the 2025 and could go out by some 25 million euros. To day of today, would be the priority by the relation between quality and price.
Others of the names that are in the diary is the one of Amadou Onana, one of the big names of the Everton. It is one of the favourite options of Deco, by the physical profile that has, but his price will not go down of the €60m. It is a similar case to the of Bruno Guimaraes that would be in the shop window of sales of the Newcastle, but will cost, at least, €80m.
The names 'less' sounded in the Barça
Between the options 'low cost' are Javi War, of Valencia, or Aleix García, of the Girona. Both could cost around 20-€25m, although they are not the ideal profiles for what would need the Barça for the next season. The first has a much more offensive profile, whereas Aleix has two teams that are very attentive to his traspaso: Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham.
An alternative that fell was the one of Guido Rodríguez, with the one who the Barça had an agreement so that it arrived like free agent after finalising his agreement with the Real Betis. The verbal agreement won on 31 May and, although anything could happen, to day of today seems difficult that can 'mudarse' in the City Condal. Finally, it sounded the name of Ederson, one of the big news of the Atalanta that carried the Europe League. To Deco likes him a lot, but his available price also will elevate to the €60m and there will be big competition in the market.
