A Trade-off for Lenglet?

As part of their strategy to strengthen their squad, Barcelona plan to sign at least one new midfielder. The club maintains its interest in signing Manchester City’s star player, Ilkay Gundogan, planning to acquire him on a free transfer come July 1.

Other Interested Clubs

Barcelona are reported to be among the clubs willing to offer Gundogan a longer deal. Arsenal, another prominent Premier League club, also have shown an interest in Gundogan.

Whether Lo Celso will trade the Premier League’s pitches for La Liga’s remains to be seen. The coming weeks are set to reveal much about the players’ futures and the potential reshaping of clubs’ line-ups for the forthcoming season.
