Press reports revealed that Barcelona is close to signing Roger Martínez.

Recent press reports have revealed that Barcelona is looking to sign an additional midfielder for the team in preparation for next season's competitions under German coach Hansi Flick.

According to reports from the Spanish newspaper Marca, the player Barcelona wants to sign to join its star-studded midfield is 21-year-old Roger Martínez.

Midfield with attacking capabilities

Martínez is known for being an attacking midfielder with outstanding technical ability. He can also play as an advanced midfielder or playmaker, and his keen vision enables him to perform at his best in this position.

The player's contract with Espanyol expired last month, so joining a new team won't be difficult, but rather possible and easy, especially since he's looking for a new experience.

The player doesn't mind trying his new experience on the other side of the city, which is certainly Espanyol's fiercest rival, but he will face stiff competition in the line where Barcelona has the most players, which is the midfield.

Barcelona will face fierce competition for the player's services, especially as Atletico Madrid is closely monitoring the young player's situation, especially after the departure of veteran Argentine Rodrigo De Paul to Inter Miami.
