In the middle of the transfer window, FC Barcelona is trying to get rid of its unwanted players, and several names are coming back as possible reinforcements.
Injuries to Christensen and Garcia, as well as the possible departure of one of them, have made it necessary to recruit a central defender at FC Barcelona, which has led to the mention of several names of players likely to join the Catalan team. Jonathan Tah (28 years old) is considered a probable reinforcement, but another name has also just been mentioned. FootMercato reports that FC Barcelona would be strongly attracted by the profile of Mohamed Simakan (24 years old), defending the colors of RB Leipzig and selected in the French under-21 team.
Simakan too expensive for Barça
The defender is reportedly valued at 50 million euros by RB Leipzig. FC Barcelona does not currently have the financial means to carry out such an operation, given the high cost of it. It is important to note that the Catalan club still favours the transfers of a winger and a right-back, which would allow Jules Koundé to regain his place in the central defence. However, it is also interesting to mention that Simakan would be an interesting choice due to his youth and his ability to play in several positions. Last season, the Frenchman was a regular starter for RB Leipzig, playing 42 games out of a possible 42, scoring three goals and providing four assists. And this season, he has already started in the first two games. He played at centre-back in the cup against Essen and played at right-back on his Bundesliga debut against Bochum..
