     Barcelona’s philosophy, Deco’s knowledge and Xavi’s request has been key to the club’s recruitments. Having been provided with the services of a fellow Catalan in Oriol Romeu, the Barcelona manager remains unsatisfied. With the aim of creating an unbeatable trio, Xavi has requested for the signing of a World class DM to partner up with Frenkie and Pedri.

     Joshua Kimmich (28) and Martin Zubimendi (24) are the names already  mentioned within the club. Martin Zubimendi whose contract at Real Sociedad include a Release clause of €60M, is admired by Xavi who has communicated his desire to sign the Spanish midfielder to those In charge at Barça. The race for the signature of Martin Zubimendi could well come down to the desire of the player, with top clubs across Europe such as Bayern Munich and Arsenal also keen on the Spanish star. The failure in securing the services of Martin Zubimendi last summer brought forth the option of a certain Joshua Kimmich. Into the final 18 months of his contract, the German international has shown no sign of extending at Bayern Munich, with reports from SPORTS stating Barcelona are attentive to the situation at Munich. A Formula similar to that of Lewandowski’s whereby the club act upon the desire of the player to move, could be orchestrated to bring the German star through the doors of Barcelona.

     Meanwhile those at Atletico are said to be unhappy with Joao Felix conduct in recent weeks. The Portuguese star scored the decisive goal to give Barcelona a 1-0 win at the weekend against his parent club Atletico. Joao Felix whose name has been a topic in the media for months have declared his intentions of remaining at Barça beyond the end of his current loan spell. Having the desire of the player on their side, those in Barcelona are expected to play “hard ball” during negotiations for Joao Felix. With the intent of the player to continue at the club, Barcelona are in no hurry and are believed to offer a Maximum of €40M which is half Atletico’s valuation of Portuguese star.
