Barcelona hope to generate €80m from defensive duo’s sale to fund move for a forward

Barcelona’s upcoming summer transfer window is shaping up to be one of sheer significance, particularly in defence.

According to a report from CuleMania, the club is planning a potential revolution at the back — a move driven both by sporting needs and financial necessity.

Sporting Director Deco has three key signings in mind, with two of them aimed at strengthening the defence: a new right-back and a centre-back.

Jonathan Tah on radar
Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah is said to be the leading target to bolster the heart of the defence.

With his contract nearing its end, the German international could arrive on a free transfer, making him an ideal low-cost addition for a club still battling to return to the strict La Liga 1:1 financial rule.

What is more striking is the growing expectation that Ronald Araujo could be sold. Despite being one of the most reliable defenders in recent years, the Uruguayan no longer feels completely at ease under new manager Hansi Flick.
