Per body: Barcelona is in urgent need of reinforcements at left center back and is paying attention to Schlotterbeck/Guey/Upa, etc.

Hupu November 16 According to the Spanish media "Daily Sports", the media wrote a column and talked about the signings of La Liga giant Barcelona in the defensive position.

According to reports, after veteran Inigo Martinez left the team this summer, the shortcomings of Barcelona's defense in communication and command and left-footed ball ability were highlighted. At present, Barcelona is actively looking for a new center back candidate.

Barcelona’s number one signing target is Dortmund’s Schlotterbeck. Flick admired him very much and felt that his style was similar to Inigo Martinez. He was especially good at making long passes with his left foot and had a wide vision. Schloterback's contract does not expire until 2027, and Dortmund has offered to renew his contract until 2030, but the player himself is in no hurry to make a decision. The main problems facing his introduction are, first, his salary requirements, and second, Bayern's strong competition. His current valuation in the transfer market has exceeded 40 million euros.

Another high-profile player is the 24-year-old Gonzalo Inácio from Sporting CP. Even Pepe praised his left-foot skills. Inacio's contract also expires in 2027, but his liquidated damages are as high as 60 million euros. Although the club has plans to renew his contract, the player is still weighing his options.

From a cost-effective perspective, the 25-year-old Guey from Crystal Palace may be a good choice. He has decided to leave the team on a free agency when his contract expires, which is very attractive to Barcelona. The England international has excellent positional sense and is being closely watched by Bayern, Liverpool and Barcelona. Among them, Bayern has accelerated the pace of contact with him.

In addition, Barcelona is also paying attention to the 17-year-old Nantes star Taylor Tati. The left-footed central defender has outstanding physical fitness and has become the main force of the Nantes team. The club recently extended his contract until 2028, treating him as a potential player worth cultivating.

Bayern's 27-year-old Upamecano has also entered Barcelona's recruitment horizon, and his contract is about to expire. Although his performances have been inconsistent at times, he is gradually improving under the guidance of new coach Vincent Kompany. Bayern hopes to renew his contract, but both Real Madrid and Barcelona regard him as a potential visa-free target and are paying close attention to his developments.
