Deco has placed David Raum and Tyrick Mitchell on FC Barcelona's transfer agenda to reinforce the left-back position in 2027. Both will be out of contract next June 30 and could negotiate with the Blaugrana from January if they do not renew with RB Leipzig and Crystal Palace before.

The sports management is looking for a deal that does not require a transfer fee and that broadens Hansi Flick's alternatives in that position. The move is still in the monitoring phase, and as of now, there is no formal negotiation with either of the two players.

Deco puts David Raum among FC Barcelona's options

David Raum, 28 years old, is one of the most attention-grabbing prospects. The left-back is the captain of RB Leipzig, an international player for Germany, and his contract expires at the end of this season, allowing him to move to LaLiga without a transfer fee.

Leipzig wants to avoid this scenario. The German club has expressed its intention to renew the player on several occasions, but it has been reported this week in Germany that there are no concrete negotiations yet for a new agreement.

Moreover, Hansi Flick knows the left-back from his time with the German national team. Raum concluded the previous Bundesliga season with three goals and seven assists in 30 matches, while in the current season, he has not yet been directly involved in any goal.

Tyrick Mitchell emerges as the English alternative

The sports management is also considering Tyrick Mitchell, a 27-year-old left-back from Crystal Palace. His contract also expires in June 2027, making him an economically attractive option for Barça, similar to Raum.

Mitchell has played more than 230 games with Crystal Palace's first team. His start to the season has been noteworthy, as he scored two goals in the 2-3 victory against Fulham on September 5.

The Englishman's situation may generate more competition. His experience in the Premier League and the approaching end of his contract have already drawn interest from other clubs. Therefore, Deco will need to decide in the coming months whether to turn the monitoring into a concrete operation.

Hansi Flick expects movements in the full-back positions

FC Barcelona currently has several options for the wing positions, so any new addition will also depend on departures. Alejandro Balde started the season with less prominence, and the club was willing to consider offers for him during the summer, although he ultimately stayed.

A similar situation occurred with Jules Koundé. Barça was open to reviewing offers, but the Frenchman chose to stay and compete for playing time. The movements in January will determine the room the sports management will have to plan the squad for the next season.

The strategy also reflects financial constraints. Barça had shown interest in Alejandro Grimaldo and Andrea Cambiaso before, but the latter required a transfer investment that complicated the deal.

The next significant deadline will arrive in January. If Raum and Mitchell remain without renewing, both could negotiate their future for the 2027/28 season. Until then, Deco will keep both options open while FC Barcelona assesses the situation with their current full-backs and what profile Hansi Flick needs to complete the squad.
