The sports management of FC Barcelona, headed by director Deco, is already looking ahead to next season. There will be no signings in this winter market, since the priority is to sign Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.
However, the blaugrana are actively working behind the scenes, planning their squad for the 2025/26 season, with key areas and targets identified for the summer of 2025.
Special attention to the German market
Now, SPORT reports that Barcelona have a special focus on the German market heading into 2025, with three of their top targets coming from the Bundesliga, all of whom can sign for free: Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen), Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso. Davies (both from Bayern Munich).
The three players will expire on June 30, at a time when their market value is still very high and will surely raise the level of the Barça squad.
Obviously Barcelona is not the only club that follows these players, but it does not want to be left behind in the competition.
The financial outlook for the summer transfer window looks more promising than this winter, giving the Catalans greater hope of achieving their goals.
Tah the closest to signing
As reported earlier this week, the player closest to joining Barcelona is Jonathan Tah. The German international centre-back is expected to sign a five-year contract until 2030.
However, the other two possible signings are more complicated.
Kimmich, at 29 years old, has a prestigious reputation throughout Europe. Premier League clubs have set their eyes on him and Bayern Munich have not yet given up hope of renewing his contract.
Barcelona’s defensive midfield positions are filled by Marc Casado and Marc Bernal, but Flick would be delighted to reunite with a proven player who can play in both midfield and right back.
Regarding interest in Davies, Barcelona need to strengthen at left back, as Alejandro Balde has shown inconsistent form, while Gerard Martín has not been very convincing.
However, Davies is negotiating a contract renewal with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also pushing hard to sign him.
