As the summer transfer window approaches, Barcelona is honing in on key targets to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. New manager Hansi Flick and the sporting department have identified a pivot midfielder as a top priority.
Joshua Kimmich: The Main Target
Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich remains the primary target for Barcelona. Flick is keen on bringing the German international to Camp Nou and is reportedly seeking a face-to-face meeting to discuss the potential move.
Pepelu: A Viable Alternative
While Kimmich is the main focus, Barcelona is also considering other options for the defensive pivot position. According to Mundo Deportivo, Valencia's Pepelu has caught their attention. The 25-year-old Spaniard, who joined Valencia from Levante last year, had an impressive debut season under Ruben Baraja, featuring 39 times across all competitions and contributing eight goals and an assist.
Pepelu's performance in a double pivot role has particularly impressed Barcelona scouts, who praise his physicality, power, and vision.
Javi Guerra: Another Valencia Prospect
Pepelu isn't the only Valencia player on Barcelona's radar. The Catalans are also monitoring his midfield partner, Javi Guerra. The young midfielder could be available for around €20 million this summer, with Barcelona considering the possibility of including players in a potential deal.
Final Decision Pending
As Barcelona strategizes for the summer transfer window, the club must decide whether to pursue Pepelu, Guerra, or another pivot midfielder. The coming weeks will be crucial in shaping their transfer moves and strengthening the squad for the next season.
