After deciding not to spend funds on the summer transfer window, Barcelona should be targeting the January transfer window to sign some of their transfer targets. Ronald Koeman must do so as he could end up abusing some players on the current squad, which could lead to injuries and could end up altering the club’s chances of winning the silver medal this season.
The Catalan giants need to sign a new midfielder who can help replace Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal from the squad, as well as an attacker who can help add more goals to the club. Many believe that Barça should prioritize a defender in the January transfer window, however, as seen in the summer transfer window, Ronald Koeman seemed more interested in adding a midfielder and attacker to his side than a defender. .
The 2018-2019 La Liga champions should try to sign the duo of Memphis Depay and Houssem Aouar from Lyon in the winter transfer window, signing the duo from Lyon will help add some great depth to the squad. Reports have suggested that Depay was on the verge of joining the Spanish giants, but due to insufficient funds, the Catalan giants were unable to sign the Lyon superstar. Houssem Aouar was strongly linked to a move to Arsenal during the summer transfer window, but the gunner chose not to use his transfer budget to sign the promising Frenchman and instead signed Thomas Partey from Atlético de Madrid. The Spanish club should try to establish trade agreements and offer players like Samuel Umtiti and Junior Firpo to the French team to reduce the price required to sign their players.
Alternatively, Barcelona should sign a young defender like Dayot Upamecano or Ibrahima Konate, who can help add more depth on defense and act as a long-term replacement for Gerard Piqué, who is 33 years old and playing in one of his last American football seasons.
Do you think Barça should sign the talented Lyon duo during the winter transfer window?
