It just needs to be made official
Vitor Roque
The young Brazilian striker (18 years old) is Barça’s bet for the future. The signing is on track and there is already an agreement in principle, although none of the two parties have yet made it official. It is also not clear if he would land in Barcelona this summer or it would be for winter or next summer.
What is known is that Athletico Paranaense and Barça have agreed that the sale will take place for a fixed 35 million plus another 10 million that the culé entity could pay in different variables depending on the goals that the striker meets when he ends up with the champion Catalan. Barça’s contract with Vitor Roque will run until June 30, 2028, that is, it will last for the next five seasons.

Like very much
Marcelo Brozovic (Inter Milan)
The Croatian midfielder for Inter considers himself a technical and competitive, positional and experienced player, as he demonstrated again in the Nations League semi-final against the Netherlands. In January, Barça already approached Brozovic to try to incorporate him. Inter have Barça player Franck Kessie on their list and that can help.

He goes to Saudi Arabia
Rúben Neves (Wolverhampton)
The Portuguese midfielder Rúben Neves (28 years old) is close to becoming a new footballer for Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia and everything indicates that he will not join Barça this summer, a team with which he had been linked in an operation that involved the sale of Ansu Fati of the Barcelona club. Wolverhampton would have received a succulent offer of 55 million for Rúben Neves from Al-Hilal and the negotiations between the two teams would be advanced.
As MD already told, there was an agreement between the Barcelona president Joan Laporta and the player’s representative, Jorge Mendes. On the other hand, it should be remembered that Xavi and the sports management have other preferences for the core.

One of the favorites for the pivot
Joshua Kimmich (Bavaria)
Kimmich (28) is the midfielder who generates unanimity in Barcelona. He is the player Xavi longs for to replace Busquets and also the one the fans like the most.
Bayern won’t make things easy for Barça, but the Barça club hastens its assets. It will be a long poker game, in which Barça is willing to make an economic effort. At the moment the negotiations are carried out very discreetly and are advancing slowly.

No news
Lo Celso (Tottenham)
There is no progress regarding Barça’s interest in the Argentine midfielder. As MD has already advanced, the Tottenham player likes Xavi, but he would not be a first option. He is a midfielder with a great inside game and the Barça coach considers that he meets the profile of an essential midfielder to feed Lewandowski with balls.
He has played the last two seasons on loan at Villarreal for Tottenham and his future in the air: he has a contract there until 2025.

about to sign
Iñigo Martínez (Athletic Club)
The Basque central defender passed the pertinent medical examination in Barcelona and will arrive free after ending his contract with Athletic Club. In his contract there will be a clause whereby he could go to another club if Barça does not have salary space to be registered in LaLiga. It is expected to become official after June 30.

Only if a forward comes out
Yannick Carrasco (Atletico Madrid)
The mattress player Yannick Ferreira Carrasco (29 years old) appears not as a top priority but as an option if Ferran Torres leaves, as he is a closed alternative that would cost 16 million, although without being that type of striker who can play in all three positions that are sought, as is the Spanish international. In the Belgian concentration he left the door open to the exit of him.

Look for alternatives to Barça
Amrabat (Fiorentina)
He has not yet made it official where he will play next season, but it seems that he is far from Barcelona.
Despite the fact that the Fiorentina midfielder wanted to wear Barcelona, the club’s indecision for him has made the Moroccan international already consider other options, although he has a contract with the Italian club until 2024.
9
You want to continue in Donosti
Martin Zubimendi (Royal Society)
The Real Sociedad midfielder Zubimendi (24 years old) is one of the media with the most projection on the national scene and a footballer to the liking of Xavi Hernández, but his 60 million clause and his decision to continue at Real have cooled interest from azulgrana club where the donostiarra became a priority. Zubimendi wants to play the Champions League with the club of his heart.
10
Signed for Barça Atlétic
Michael Faye
Barça has already made the signing of Mikayil Faye official until 2027 to strengthen Barça Atlétic, a promising 18-year-old Senegalese central defender also in the orbit of Chelsea or Borussia Dortmund. All the details of the terms of the agreement here.
11
one step below
Guido Rodriguez (Betis)
The Argentine midfielder from Betis is another footballer that Xavi likes, although, in the eyes of the coaches, a couple of steps below Zubimendi. Guido is positional and recovers many balls, but he does not have the ability to distribute a profile like Sergio Busquets.
12
Difficult after the U-20 World Cup
Fabricio Diaz (Liverpool Montevideo)
The reigning U-20 World Cup champion has become a coveted player. The young Uruguayan (20 years old) has been in the Barça orbit for some time but there are more and more teams interested in signing him and that has made the player’s cache rise. Today he is a little further from landing at Barça, although he is in no hurry to decide his future and that could play in favor of Barça, which is still not clear about the margin available to sign.
13
His priority is Serie A
Samuel Umtiti
After his great season on loan at Lecce, Umtiti has several proposals for a change of scenery. The most recent would be from two clubs from Saudi Arabia. With a contract until 2026, Umtiti has sounded strong for a return to Olympique de Lyon and has a good poster in Serie A.
14
Waiting
Joao Cancelo (Bayern)
The Portuguese winger will not continue at Bayern after his loan and at Manchester City they are looking for a way out. The price of his transfer will be the biggest problem of a possible arrival at Barça.
15
goodbye to Tottenham
Clement Lenglet
The French central defender completed a good loan at Tottenham, but the English club announced that he will not continue next season and will have to return to the discipline of Barça, with whom he has a contract until 2026.
