He FC Barcelona One of their goals is to sign a midfielder to strengthen the squad starting next year and in the sports area they are holding several names as far as possible quality additions. Some of them end their contract at the end of this season and will be more affordable operations, while others, with a few more years of connection with their current teams, will mean an economic outlay for in a Barça club with an economy in a delicate situation..
1
Jorginho (Arsenal)
End of contract: 2024
Age: 32 years
Market value: 15 million euros
The
He is one of the names that seems to be a future prospect for FC Barcelona for several years. The Italian-Brazilian, who is currently at Arsenal, fits as the piece that Barça are looking for even though he will not be one of the priorities when it comes to strengthening the midfield. His strong point is that he will finish his contract and arrive at zero cost and the experience he has at the age of 32, but he should improve on other offers from major teams who want to acquire his services.
2
Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City)
End of contract: 2024
Age: 27 years
Market value: 18 million euros
The
The Leicester midfielder is one of the sensations of the season in his team and in the second category of English football and FC Barcelona is very helpful in his situation. His contract expires this June, so his signing does not require any cost, although he will have to fight hard on individual terms with other teams interested in him. One of them, Juventus, who recently watched him live in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup against Chelsea. The player will prioritize the option of wearing the shirt of FC Barcelona but he cannot wait forever for the culé team and wants to decide his future as soon as possible.

Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich)
End of contract: 2025
Age: 29 years
Market value: 75 million euros
Joshua Kimmich is, at 29 years old, closer than ever to leaving the club of his life, Bayern Munich. The Bavarian team is close to being crowned Bundesliga champions for the first time in 12 years and its aim is to renew the team. ‘Demoted’ as the leader of the midfield from his previous position as a full-back, Kimmich welcomes the change of scenery. Barça has been on his mind since other summers and the fact that former Bundesliga stars such as Robert Lewandowski and Ilkay Gündogan have decided to wear Barça even in the current economic context shows that the club continues to have momentum. The downside is that the competition will be tough. Clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and even Real Madrid are being considered, especially if Toni Kroos does not renew. Furthermore, if Kroos were to extend, that could be an asset in Barça’s favor, especially as in the German team the Real Madrid player has been elevated as general captain, and Kroos has also been returned to the ‘2’ lane . Bayern know this is the summer to make the cut, as Kimmich’s contract expires in 2025. This season, the German international has played 33 games, scoring one goal and eight assists.

Aleix García (Girona)
End of contract: 2026+1
Age: 26 years
Market value: 20 million euros (10-15 clauses)
MD announced that Aleix Garcia is on Barça’s agenda as a signing that meets the technical and even economic conditions to fit. A reference to the great Girona this season, he is a midfielder at a perfect age (26 years old) who can easily adapt to different positions in the wide zone and that makes him a very interesting reinforcement. His numbers this season are remarkable: three goals and six assists in 31 games. His contractual conditions, too: he signed until 2026 and Barça believe that in Girona an agreement can be reached at an affordable price, around 14-15 million. We must not forget, moreover, that Girona will try to recover Oriol Romeu for its midfielder, as recently admitted by coach Michel.
5
Martín Zubimendi (Royal Society)
End of contract: 2027
Age: 25 years
Market value: 50 million euros
The
The Basque midfielder (25 years old) is an old desire of Xavi Hernández and continues to show a high level at Real Sociedad this season. The football player has aroused the interest of other greats like Bayern or Arsenal, even if it is one or FC Barcelona, the team that wants him has to pay 60 million euros of his clause, a event that puts Barça at a disadvantage with regard to other suitors in terms of the economic situation.
6
Amadou Onana (Everton)
End of contract: 2027
Age: 22 years
Market value: 50 million euros
With the advancement of MD, Amadou Onana is the physical midfielder that FC Barcelona wants. The Belgian international of Senegalese origin, 22 years old, with an impressive height of 1.95, belongs to Everton, with whom he has a contract until 2027. The information, at the moment, speaks of a price that will reach 40 million pounds sterling , approximately 46 million euros. Of course, a relegation of his team will change that strategy. It is a case similar to the one once starred by Raphinha, who left Leeds for Barça if his team paid 25 million euros, instead of the 58 + 9 completed by the Barça club. The price, therefore, will work for or against depending on Everton’s luck. Onana played 31 games this season, contributing three goals and one assist.
