It is expected that Barcelona will reinforce their defence and attack next summer as Hansi Flick looks to kick on and continue to improve after this so far impressive season.

The midfield has yet to be an issue under the German coach, with many players impressing and showing their worth. 

Pedri, Gavi, Fermin Lopez and Marc Casadó are just some of the midfielders who have stepped up this campaign.

Despite the abundance of talent in the centre of the park, Fichajes are reporting that the Blaugrana have added Juventus’ Weston McKennie to their summer transfer target list.

The USMNT player has become a key player for the Bianconeri this season, playing 28 games in all competitions.

It is claimed that Juve does not want to lose the 26-year-old, however, his contract is set to end in 2026 and there are no signs of him renewing currently.

Barcelona think an offer of €15million would convince the Italian outfit to part ways with McKennie and it is also a price that they would be happy paying considering his versatility in midfield.
