Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
Despite an XXL payroll and the financial restrictions to which they are forced, the Catalans have already targeted several elements for their future transfer window according to… Foot 24hfootnews.
No targeted positions in particular, even if the midfield remains a priority for the Culés, rather logical when you know that the latter risk losing Gavi during the summer …
Ilkay Gündogan would be the preferred lead for this position. The skyblue is in Xavi’s small papers even if his big salary could get the better of Blaugrana’s desires. An observation that could also be applied to Inigo Martinez, the Bilbao defender. However, the 2 players being out of contract at the end of the season, there may be a way to average on the Catalan side.
Always in defense, Barça would like to strengthen their side. A desire that does not date from yesterday. To do this, the abutments would have Juan Foyth on their radars. Already tracked this summer, before he was injured at the end of August, the Villarreal player remains one of the best in his position among the “affordable” tracks. Problem, his contract runs until 2026 and his release clause set at 54 million euros could hurt the finances of the Barcelona club.
Finally, the most probable track, given that the agreement is almost concluded between the 2 clubs, the Brazilian Vitor Roque should join Catalonia in 2024. A good operation which allows Barça to secure its future of its offensive line. With a potential departure of Ansu Fati, the young crack could be entrusted with an important role upon his arrival. He has a year left to cut his teeth in Palmeiras!
To sum up
