Next summer, Barcelona could lose a number of defenders, with Ronald Araujo having a release clause and Eric Garcia attracting interest from Girona.

Barca are also said to be open to offers for Andreas Christensen, who will have one year left on his deal this upcoming summer. 

Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah has been heavily linked with a move to the Camp Nou next window but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. 

However, Sport, via Managing Barca, have claimed that the Blaugrana could enter the race for Virgil van Dijk if he decides to leave Liverpool in July to help reinforce their defence.

Van Dijk, who is set to become a free agent in the summer, is still arguably the best defender in the world, so adding him to Hansi Flick’s team would only be a positive. 

The Dutchman is a leader at the back and has won every trophy he can on Merseyside, so if he does leave then many clubs will throw their hat into the ring for his signature. 

Understandably reports in England claim that Liverpool wants to keep hold of Van Dijk and it seems like the 33-year-old centre-back is keen to remain with the Reds, however, in football anything is possible.
