FC Barcelona is closely monitoring the players' market who will become free agents starting on January 1, 2025, an opportunity that would allow the club to strengthen without making major investments in transfers. Deco, the Barcelona sporting director, has identified three players who fit the team's needs and are also economically viable options amid the financial fair play restrictions in LaLiga.

Jonathan Tah:

First on the list is Jonathan Tah, a 28-year-old German center-back currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen. Barcelona values his defensive solidity, experience, and professionalism, qualities that would make him a reliable reinforcement for the defense. Tah would not only bring quality but also alleviate the workload of players like Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen, and Eric García, whose contracts end in 2026. Negotiations are progressing well, and there is optimism within the club about securing his arrival.

Thomas Partey:

In midfield, Thomas Partey is another prominent name. The Ghanaian midfielder, currently at Arsenal, is highly regarded for his versatility, as he can play as a defensive midfielder, central midfielder, or even as a right-back. With Frenkie de Jong under scrutiny due to inconsistent performances, Barcelona could prioritize bringing in Partey as a natural replacement. Deco, who has been monitoring his progress, believes that his elite experience would be crucial in strengthening the team.

Reinildo Mandava:

The third target is Reinildo Mandava, a Mozambican full-back from Atlético de Madrid, who can also play as a center-back. Despite losing prominence in his current team, Barcelona sees him as an interesting option due to his versatility and defensive capabilities, especially considering that he would arrive for free after his contract expires next summer.
