Barcelona sporting director Deco has identified several midfield targets for the upcoming summer transfer window, as reported by Diario Sport.
With Sergio Busquets’ departure to Inter Miami last year creating a void in the defensive midfield position, Barça are keen to strengthen in that area.
Despite Oriol Romeu’s arrival as a replacement at the start of the season, his recent lack of playing time has prompted the need for a new signing.
Amadou Onana of Everton, Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich, Mats Wieffer of Feyenoord, and Aleix García of Girona are all on Deco’s radar.
Onana has been a long-term target for Barça, but the financial aspects of signing him may be challenging.
Kimmich, who could potentially leave Bayern Munich this summer, is also being considered, while Wieffer has caught the eye with his performances.
Deco received a positive report on Wieffer from former Feyenoord coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
García, with a release clause of around €20 million, is another option being evaluated by Barcelona.
Despite the club’s financial difficulties, they are planning for a busy summer transfer window.
