FC Barcelona is reportedly eyeing a free transfer from the Premier League, targeting a player who is a Champions League and Euros winner currently playing in England, as per SPORT sources. Last year, Barcelona successfully convinced Ilkay Gundogan to join them from Manchester City, despite a more lucrative offer from his then-club. Gundogan has proven to be a valuable addition to Barca's midfield, especially with injuries affecting other key players.
With injuries sidelining Gavi, Pedri, and Frenkie de Jong at various points, Barcelona has had to adapt its midfield setup. Recently, Andreas Christensen has been deployed as a supporting pivot alongside Gundogan and De Jong, with Pedri even playing in a more advanced role. However, injuries to Pedri and De Jong in a recent match have forced Barcelona to rethink its midfield strategy.
