The 2022 season for Barcelona was not the best, they closed with a tie in the league against Espayol, which places them with the same score as Real Madrid in the lead, in the Champions League they were third in their group and they will play the Europa League in 2023 ; added to the retirement of their captain Gerard Piqué and the injuries of Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde.
Xavi Hernández’s team plans to add names to their squad for the second half of the season and there are already several names that are being handled in the folders at the culé offices.
Several close reports affirm that there are three players in the crosshairs to incorporate them in 2023; The first of them comes from the same league and is Iñigo Martínez, the center-back is a priority for Barcelona after Araujo’s prolonged injury and Gerard Piqué’s withdrawal.
For the midfield they trust the arrival of the Frenchman Ngolo Kanté and although he is currently injured, he could reach the Barça team completely free since his contract with Chelsea is valid until June 2023.
On the offensive line, the name they have in mind is Youssoufa Moukoko. The Cameroonian who represents the German team has an excellent present at Borussia Dortmund, where he has scored 6 goals in 14 games.
Barcelona has a complicated economic situation for which very millionaire signings cannot be allowed, which is why it bets on these three pieces which would arrive completely free in 2023 after completing the contract with their respective teams.
