A Spanish press report revealed that Barcelona is targeting a deal from the English Premier League to strengthen its ranks during the upcoming summer transfers.
Barcelona wants to strengthen its ranks by signing several high-level players, taking into account the economic crisis that the Catalan team is going through.
The Spanish club aims to sign Italian Jorginho, the Gunners player, whose contract expires at the end of the current season, and his club did not make him a renewal offer.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, Jorginho is not a new name in Barcelona, as the club has been in constant contact with his agent Joao Santos for several seasons, and the contacts did not result in completing the deal.
Santos, the Italian player’s agent, had stated on more than one occasion that Jorginho would be happy to move to the Spanish League, specifically to Barcelona.
The report concluded that Barcelona’s financial crisis makes Jorginho a major target, especially since he will be a free player, and strengthening the midfield is a priority for the sports administration.
