The newspaper “Sport” reported that Barcelona’s management is still planning to make at least two deals despite the end of the summer transfer window.
The Catalan club has the right to sign any player who is not under contract with another club in a free deal throughout the season.
Barcelona is currently targeting to sign a contract with Nike, after which it will be able to return to the 1:1 rule in front of the Financial Fair Play law, and then it can register new players.
The management of Joan Laporta then plans to make two free deals to support the center-back position as well as the midfield after the injury of Marc Bernal.
According to Sport, there are 3 names in the center-back, namely the German Mats Hummels, the Cameroonian Joel Matip and the Spaniard Mario Hermoso.
As for the midfield, the name of Adrien Rabiot in particular appears as the most prominent option that is accepted by coach Hansi Flick.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona only included Dani Olmo in the last transfer window for 60 million euros from German Leipzig.
