The sports management of FC Barcelona is clear that a new midfielder could be key to the development of the new project, so the characteristics they are looking for in that player are increasingly clear
It is more than clear that the FC Barcelona has a priority of market for the next season and is to find a new mediocentro. Although all indicates that Hansi Flick wants to play with two pivote, if finally it bets by the system 4-2-3-1, the entity has clear that needs to reinforce this part of the staff, especially with a footballer that can contribute energy and that have a profile a bit more defensive that offensive.
The president Joan Laporta left to glimpse that possibly the club do not finish moving index card by a player of more than 40 millions like Joshua Kimmich or Martín Zubimendi, signalling that it does not see right now big investments in signings. Surely thus it is that the name of Mikel Merino, for example, has gone winning chevrons when having agreement until 2025 and some characteristics that the club sees like the indicated to improve his game.
The Barça is defining the type of mediocentro that looks for
'Sportive world' aims besides that the Barça does not close to the option of fichar to a mediocentro classical and netamente defensive, like sucedió with Oriol Romeu, but yes that prioritises that it can be a footballer with sufficient mobility in the field and that, especially, deliver much more dynamism to the team of the that has had in the last two or three years. There, Merino seems to be an option indicated, especially if Flick can accompany him of footballers like Frenkie of Jong, waiting for defining his future, Ilkay Gündogan or Gavi, when it was available again.
The information also signals that the club is very attentive to Marc Casadó, to the that want from the first day in the first staff after fulfilling with all the stages in the filial and be aim to do official his renewal until June of 2027. The youngster mediocampista could be this second 'signing' for the pivote, in which it had to Guido Rodríguez in the planning, but seems that finally the Argentinian will remain descartado.
Other names that fit in the idea of the Barça, but that like Kimmich or Zubimendi go of price right now, are Amadou Onana and Bruno Guimaraes. The footballers of 22 and 26 years, respectively, have against the high prices that are used to to ask the clubs of the Premier League to leave go to his best footballers and except a big sale, as it could be the one of Of Jong, the Barça only will keep them like remote possibilities of face to the following season.
