The free agent market for this summer promises to be one of the most historic of the last decade. Several top-level players finish their contracts in 2025 and could leave for free. Among the most prominent names are figures like Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Heung-Min Son, and Leroy Sané, all of them key players in their respective teams.
These footballers would bring quality and experience to any team. The possibility of incorporating these players without paying a transfer fee opens up a range of opportunities for clubs, and Barça, like other European giants, will be very alert.
Barça's needs that Deco is working on
With an eye on this market, Barcelona has clear areas that need strengthening to continue with its project for the summer. The club's priorities are to improve the defense, especially the full-backs and the center-back position, as well as to strengthen the wings with game-changing players.
Regarding the wingers, the names that have been most mentioned are Nico Williams and Rafael Leão. Both footballers would bring speed, dribbling, and goal-scoring ability, characteristics that perfectly fit Barça's needs.
Barça doesn't want to miss the opportunity
Although Barça's priorities are clear, the possibility of signing top-level players without having to pay a transfer fee makes the club very alert to opportunities. In fact, the signing of Jonathan Tah, a German defender from Bayer Leverkusen, is said to have already been closed.
The German is an experienced center-back, physically strong, and with good aerial play, qualities that could give Barcelona the defensive solidity it needs. The incorporation of free agents like Tah allows the club to save resources for other areas, which is very attractive to Deco.
Deco negotiates the signing of a world-class star
Despite the clear priorities in defense and wingers, Barcelona doesn't overlook other opportunities that arise in the market. According to 'El Nacional.cat', the club is negotiating with Joshua Kimmich, who also finishes his contract in 2025. The possible incorporation of the German international, who would arrive for free, would be a great addition to Barça's midfield, forming a dream midfield.
Barcelona knows that, in addition to strengthening priority areas, signing players like Kimmich can be a strategic move to ensure success. The possibility of signing him for free represents a unique opportunity that the Catalan club doesn't want to miss.
