FC Barcelona sporting director Deco has shortlisted a set of midfielders that the club is interested in potentially buying this summer, as reported by SPORT. The club is still in search of a suitable replacement for former captain Sergio Busquets, who departed for Inter Milan last summer after a successful tenure with the team.
Oriol Romeu, a La Masia graduate, was initially brought in as a cost-effective option and showed promise at the start of the season. However, a loss of form and knee issues have seen him drop down the pecking order, limiting his playing time. With Frenkie de Jong sidelined due to injury, central defender Andreas Christensen has been deployed in a midfield role, highlighting the team's need for reinforcements.
