Strengthening, at a lower cost. This is one of FC Barcelona’s mantras in recent years. Financially constrained, the Catalan club is, in fact, always looking for good deals. This summer and after having activated multiple levers, the Barcelona team did not, however, balk at paying nearly 60 million euros to secure the services of Dani Olmo. If the delayed registration of the Spanish international did not fail to cause a stir, the Blaugranas are now preparing for the next events.
In this perspective, World Sports dedicates an article this Saturday to Barça’s upcoming strategy for the upcoming windows. The opportunity for the Spanish daily to specify the two major objectives of the Catalan recruitment unit. The first is none other than Jonathan Tah. Already courted by FCB this summer, the current Bayer Leverkusen defender continues to attract interest (Manchester United, Bayern Munich, etc.).
Barça wants to do its shopping in the Bundesliga!
Under contract until June 2025, Xabi Alonso’s protégé has nevertheless decided to continue the adventure at the BayArena. But for how long? Very little, if we are to believe the words of the person concerned. “I’m not going to sign a new contract with Bayer Leverkusen. My decision is made. I’m going to give my best until the end and then we’ll see about my future club. But my decision is to go there and try a different experience.”the 28-year-old defender confided in an interview with South German newspaper. A very good opportunity for the Culers who would like to recover the German international (29 caps) as a free agent next summer. But that’s not all.
Barça’s other priority is Joshua Kimmich (29 years old), currently playing for Bayern Munich. Like Tah, his contract expires in 2025 and for the moment the Munich team has not found common ground to extend the versatile German midfielder’s contract. With Hansi Flick on its bench, the Catalan team has, in this respect, a strong argument that could allow it to win the bet. Indeed, the new Barcelona coach knows Kimmich well, a player he has already had under his orders both at Bayern Munich and in the national team. Enough to convince the Rottweil native and overtake the competition? Answer in the coming months…
