Barcelona is still rumored to be interested in Everton’s Amadou Onana, in spite of the team’s ongoing financial struggles.
This season, Xavi’s team has struggled at the pivot position. Andreas Christensen is currently playing in that position, but Barca hopes to add another midfield player in the summer.
Despite his exorbitant 60 million euro price tag, Onana is still top of Barca’s shopping list, according to Diario Sport.
Offering players in the deal would be one way to try and cut the cost. According to Sport, Barca has a list of unwanted stars they could suggest adding in a summer transfer.
Fermin Lopez, Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest, and Ansu Fati—all of whom are on loan this season—are the players mentioned.
Given that he already plays in the Premier League with Aston Villa and that there are rumors Everton may sell Jarrad Branthwaite, Lenglet is arguably the most likely.
In other news, Dest is anticipated to sign a long-term contract with PSV following an outstanding loan; however, Ansu Fati’s situation remains uncertain as his Brighton loan comes to an end.
Additionally, it’s hard to see Fermin moving on. This season, the young player was elevated to the first team and has already shown himself to be a valuable member of the team.
