/ A Spanish sports website revealed that Barcelona is choosing between three players to sign one with the aim of strengthening the midfield position, while the club has withdrawn from the idea of contracting with three other midfield players that it was previously considering including for reasons related to “passion” for achieving titles.
Barcelona is looking for a strong defensive midfielder who is good at defending and effective in the final third of the field.
The Football Spain website explained that Barcelona is choosing between Monaco’s Youssef Fofana, Everton’s Amado Onana, and Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes.
Bruno Guimaraes’ contract with Newcastle expires in 2028, Onana’s contract with Everton expires in 2027, while Fofana’s contract with Monaco expires in 2025.
The newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” reported that Onana’s explosion with Everton and his physical vitality caught the attention of Barcelona.
The player has Belgian nationality, although he was born in Senegal. He is 22 years old and approximately two meters tall. He is distinguished by his ability to intercept balls and also play the ball well and penetrate the opponent’s field.
The newspaper explained that his wonderful physical qualities help him to be a midfielder who has a lot of movement and covers a large area of the field on the defensive level.
She noted that his interventions are amazing, given his height. What makes it very difficult for competitors to avoid his long legs.
Moreover, he is a player who contributes a lot in the “aerial game”, both in aerial disputes in midfield and in defensive and attacking set-pieces.
Barcelona crisis
The “Football Spain” website asked about Barcelona’s financial situation, which might hinder its plans to sign any of these three.
He added that signing any of the players would be expensive, especially since Barcelona is not the only club following the trio.
Barcelona retreat
In a related context, the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” confirmed that Barcelona has withdrawn from trying to sign any of Guido Rodriguez (29 years old), Joshua Kimmich (28 years old) and Martin Zobimendi (24 years old).
She explained that Rodriguez’s progress contributed to Barcelona’s decline in including the player, and the Catalan club is looking for young players.
As for Kimmich, Barcelona wants to give a new impetus to the team by betting on ambitious players who are hungry for titles, unlike Kimmich, who won everything with Bayern Munich.
Barcelona backed down from including Zobimendi, who had become the subject of Bayern Munich’s interest.
