That he FC Barcelona has searched and continues to search for players who can leave at a reasonable price, it is something public and notorious that has led many representatives to move and offer the services of their footballers to the Barça club both for this winter market and already thinking about next summer, with some of them exhausting their contracts. The list is endless, going through elements of the highest level as well as others of less depth.
Dani Alves (38 years old) got away with it after selling himself to Barça, even with Josep Maria Bartomeu as president, and in the fall before the replacement Koeman–Xavi. The player from Egar gave the OK on his return, unlike what happened with Ferran Torres, express request of the azulgrana coach. Xavi do not give up, if it is economically viable, your idea of incorporating a striker. Alvaro Morata (29), with a peculiar situation being on loan and with a purchase option of 40 million for Juve in June 2022, was the first of a list in which other renowned attackers have appeared. Edinson Cavani (34), who was delighted to play for Barcelona, was an option until Ralf Rangnick closed the door on him at Manchester United after recovering from injury just before the January transfer window opened.
Earlier Barca had heard of the offer of Timo Werner (25), without continuity with Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea. Also from London the options of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (32), whose captaincy Mikel Arteta withdrew from Arsenal, and his teammate Alexandre Lacazette (30). Like Morata, both were already ruled out as expensive in January 2019. Last winter there were contacts with Cedric Bakambu (30), who this time has left Beijing Guoan to go to Marseille after Barça’s ‘no’. Brazilian midfielder Oscar (30), formerly of Chelsea, moved from China. No tour, like Divock Origi (26), executioner culé in the 4-0 of Liverpool in 2019, and the Brazilians Arthur Cabral (23) from Basel and the former mattress Diego Costa (33), who on Sunday terminated his contract with Atlético Mineiro.
More interesting are two offers for the summer: Paulo Dybala (28), faced with Juventus when withdrawing the renewal offer five and a half months after being released, and the Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic (21), current top scorer in Serie A and a serious alternative to Erling Haaland. For January the Czech has been offered Patrick Schick (25), second scorer in the Bundesliga at Leverkusen after Lewandowski.
The Norwegian’s agent, Mino Raiola, has also put the Moroccan right-back on Joan Laporta’s table Noussair Mazraoui (24), free in June. It is a firm option for Barça for the summer, when the midfielder’s contract will also expire Frank Kessie (25) at Milan, with whom there were contacts in October. Antonio Rudiger (28) resurrected his 2020 offer to Barça knowing that he is looking for a central defender. Now there are more bidders like Madrid and Bayern. Your partner Hakim Ziyech (28) did the same weeks ago when he found out that Xavi wanted a winger. Federico Bernardeschi (27) has been in talks for two years Juve-Barça and the left back Alex Telles (29) from Manchester United has joined the list for January. The list is very long.
