In a serious effort to confront the economic crises it has witnessed in recent years, the Spanish club Barcelona is seeking to find effective solutions that will enable it to strengthen its ranks with new deals in the coming seasons.
These efforts come in light of the financial obstacles that prevented the team from being efficiently strengthened during the last summer transfer period, as the club’s reinforcements were limited to signing Spanish striker Dani Olmo.
In a new development, Spanish press reports indicated that there is increasing interest from Barcelona to strengthen the midfield after the transfer of German Ilkay Gundogan to Manchester City.
According to information received from the Catalan newspaper Sport, which confirms that the Catalan club has prepared a list of targeted names to strengthen the midfield, which includes Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Fabian Ruiz.
The report indicates that Barcelona is particularly focused on signing Joshua Kimmich, thanks to the previous relationship between him and the current team coach, Hans Flick, who is considered one of the main supporters of signing the player.
The newspaper concluded that after the salary cap was raised in Barcelona, Laporta has now begun preparing for next summer’s deals in order to support the team with the deals that the German coach needs.
