3 Free agents who will improve Barca IMMEDIATELY More
June 30 Marked the Expiration of Contracts for Numerous Top Players Around Europe
At Barcelona, Sergi Roberto and Marcos Alonso saw their contracts expire and became free agents.
Barcelona is still in financial turmoil, having failed to meet La Liga’s 1:1 financial fair play rule, preventing the Blaugrana from spending money on new signings.
Free Agents to Improve Hansi Flick’s Squad
Joan Laporta’s presidency has seen Barca dip into the free agents market to make ends meet. Here are three free agents who could instantly improve Hansi Flick’s squad:
Adrien Rabiot
If Barca is looking for a technical box-to-box goalscoring midfielder, they should seriously consider Adrien Rabiot. The powerful midfield machine is excelling at the Euros with France and has already been linked with Barca. The problem with signing Rabiot is his high salary. Diario AS says he will demand no less than €8m. But if Barca can negotiate it lower, they will be getting a bargain.
Wilfred Ndidi
Barcelona has been linked with Wilfred Ndidi before. This time, though, they wouldn’t have to pay to get him as his contract with Leicester City expired in June. What’s not to like with Ndidi? He’s a gifted midfielder, two years younger than Rabiot at 27, and will ask for a far lower salary.
Ayoub El Kaabi
Barcelona could strike gold with Ayoub El Kaabi. The Moroccan poacher scored goals like they were going out of fashion last season, tallying 33 goals in all competitions, including 11 to help Olympiacos win the UEFA Conference League. El Kaabi will be a perfect cover for Robert Lewandowski if Barca decides to loan or sell Vitor Roque for financial reasons. The Blaugrana already offloaded Marc Guiu.
