FC Barcelona has not said its last word. Despite several failures during the summer window, the Catalan club maintains the ambition to strengthen itself during the next winter transfer window. According to
Sportthe Blaugranas are seriously considering signing a midfielder.
Among the names on their shortlist are Joshua Kimmich, whose contract with Bayern Munich is out, as well as his teammate Leon Goretzka, who is tied to the Bavarian club until June 2026. Fabian Ruiz, currently under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2027, is also in the sights.
Frenkie De Jong sacrificed
According to the Spanish media, Barça could consider using Frenkie De Jong as a bargaining chip to facilitate the arrival of one of these midfielders.
It seems that the Spanish runners-up are now open to the Dutchman leaving. Especially since his relationship with the Barcelona management has deteriorated, and he has the highest salary in the squad, with 37.5 million euros per year.
