Who Are Barcelona Transfer Targets?

By Michael Ferguson

Barcelona, one of the most iconic football clubs in the world, is always on the lookout for new talent to bolster their squad. With a rich history and a fan following that spans continents, Barcelona has always been known for their attractive style of play.

So who are Barcelona transfer Targets? Let’s take a look.

Defence

Barcelona has had some issues with their defence in recent years. They have struggled to find a suitable replacement for Gerard Pique and have also faced issues at full-back positions. As a result, they have been linked with several defenders in the transfer market.

Eric Garcia

Eric Garcia, who currently plays for Manchester City, is one of the top transfer Targets for Barcelona. The 20-year-old centre-back came through the ranks at La Masia before moving to Manchester City in 2017. He has since become a regular member of Pep Guardiola’s squad but is yet to sign an extension on his contract which expires next summer.

Dayot Upamecano

Another defender on Barcelona’s radar is Dayot Upamecano from RB Leipzig. The Frenchman has been impressive in the Bundesliga and Champions League over the past few seasons and is rated as one of Europe’s best young defenders.

Midfield

Barcelona has always been known for their midfield maestros such as Xavi and Iniesta. However, with these legends gone, they have struggled to find suitable replacements.

Gini Wijnaldum

Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum has been heavily linked with Barcelona over the past few months. The Dutchman played under current Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman during his time with the Netherlands national team and could be an ideal addition to Barcelona’s midfield.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Another midfielder that Barcelona is reportedly interested in is Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The Serbian has been impressive for the Italian club over the past few seasons and could bring some much-needed creativity to Barcelona’s midfield.

Attack

Barcelona’s attack has always been their strong point, with legends like Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, and Samuel Eto’o gracing the Camp Nou over the years. However, with Messi’s future uncertain and Luis Suarez gone, they will need to find some new attackers.

Lautaro Martinez

Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez has been linked with a move to Barcelona for some time now. The Argentine has been impressive in Serie A and could form a formidable partnership with Messi if he decides to stay at the club.

Memphis Depay

Another attacker on Barcelona’s radar is Lyon’s Memphis Depay. The Dutchman has been in fine form for Lyon over the past few seasons and could be an ideal replacement for Luis Suarez.

  • In conclusion:

Barcelona has a lot of work to do in the transfer market if they want to compete for titles next season. With their defence, midfield, and attack all needing reinforcements, it will be interesting to see who they manage to sign before the transfer window closes. As always, Barcelona fans will be hoping that their new signings can live up to the club’s rich history and help them bring back the glory days.
