Deco has already gotten to work to sign a midfielder for next season. His favorite seems to be Amadou Onana, from Everton, for whom he would already be in talks. However, Barça cannot pay what the Toffees are asking for right now

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona needs with urgency fichar a mediocentro title for the next season. Although Frenkie of Jong can play here, is not his position and does not contribute the balance that needs the team, especially in defence. It is thus by what the culés look for a player for this zone and Deco has very clear the profile required. On the contrary that Xavi Hernández, that seems that it always has wanted to somebody very technical, the Portuguese prefers to a physical footballer, that perhaps do not have so much quality, but that cover a lot of field and defensivamente was more differential.

In the newspaper 'Sport' signal that this player that so much wants the sportive director is Amadou Onana, pivote of the Everton. The Belgian of Senegalese origin is one of the big mediocentros that there is in the Premier League and carries two campaigns standing out as 'toffee' after arriving in 2022 of the Lille by 35 million euros. Chelsea or Arsenal carry following him a time and this summer is more than possible that can go out of Goodison Park.

The FC Barcelona knows that it goes to have competition for signing to the midfield player, but still like this Deco is trying it. It seems that the luso already would have had some contact with the surroundings of the player and would have exposed him the economic difficulties of the Barcelona to arrive to the 60 or 70 'kilos' that asks the Everton by him. The Barça will not be able to arrive to this and could offer at most 40 millions, only 5 more than what the 'toffees' paid by him in 2022.

The Barça has to convince to Onana so that presione

In principle, the offer of the barcelonistas remains very short, since in Goodison Park understand that after standing out two campaigns in the Premier the value of Onana is easily of the double of what paid by him. Besides, when having several clubs interested always go to be able to do a bidding. Therefore, the 40 millions of the Catalan picture go to be refused unless the Belgian pivote presione. If Amadou leaves clear that only wants to play in the Camp Nou, as for example they did in 2022 Koundé or Raphinha, can that the Everton have to yield.

However, it seems that in Barcelona still do not know what thinks the footballer on this, since he also would have to renounce to a wage high in comparison to what surely can him offer Chelsea and Arsenal, the others teams interested in him. It will be necessary to work a lot in this signing, first with the player and afterwards with his club, that seems very difficult that accept to earn only 5 millions more than what paid by him.
