Barcelona Eyes Rodri by Wednesday, Alvarez in 48 Hours, New Centre-Back Targeted
Barcelona’s sporting director has revealed some insights into the club’s upcoming transfer plans. Deco aims to finalize the signing of Rodri by Wednesday at the latest, while the deal for Julián Álvarez could be settled within 48 hours.
However, that is not all. Deco is also focused on securing a top-class central defender following Araujo’s departure to Liverpool.
One potential target is Cristian Romero, but sources in Argentina consider reaching an agreement unlikely.
Another option is Aymeric Laporte, whose representatives claim he has a low release clause. Athletic Bilbao denies this, and Barcelona is keen to avoid any complications in this matter, especially since relations with the Basque club have been seriously damaged by the attempted signing of Nico Williams.
