Premier League
FC Barcelona is already working on planning for the next season, and one of the priorities of the sports management led by Deco is to reinforce the right-back position. Despite attempts in recent seasons, the position continues to be a headache for the Blaugrana, as they have not been able to find a reliable and consistent player for that role.
With this goal in mind, the club has activated its scouting network, and one of the names highly favored in the Camp Nou offices is Takehiro Tomiyasu. The Japanese player, currently at Arsenal, has caught the attention of Deco, who has reportedly sent club emissaries to London to closely monitor his performance.
Tomiyasu, 26 years old, is out of contract in 2026, but Barça is confident that Arsenal might be open to negotiating his exit next summer to prevent the player from entering his final contract year and leaving for free in 2026. This could result in an affordable price for a player who has already proven his level in the Premier League.
His versatility would be of great help to Hansi Flick at Barcelona
One of the great virtues of the Japanese international is his versatility. Although his natural position is at right-back, he can also play as a center-back and even on the left side, something highly valued by the staff led by Hansi Flick. This versatility would allow the German coach to have a very valuable piece for different scenarios.
Barcelona still hasn't solved its major issue at right-back, and Tomiyasu emerges as an interesting, reliable, and affordable option. If everything goes as planned, the Japanese player could become one of the key reinforcements for the next Blaugrana project.
