With less than a month to go before the new La Liga season kicks off, Barcelona's midfield lineup has been stretched thin by injuries. According to Relevo

Barcelona

Will the European Cup winning midfielder

Merino (name)

Considered a priority attraction.

A number of midfielders in the Barcelona squad are currently injured, including Pedri, Gavi and De Jong. Firmin, on the other hand, will be participating in the upcoming Olympics. This leaves only two healthy midfielders in the first team; Gündoğan and Romeu.

In this case, the Barcelona management is actively looking for an experienced midfielder to fill the gaps in the squad. Outside of Laporta's top target Nico Williams, Merino has emerged as the top candidate for reinforcements. Head coach Frick wants an experienced B2B (Box-to-Box) midfielder to bolster his team's midfield.

Merino's arrival will bring more stability and creativity to Barcelona's midfield, helping the team to cope with the intensive schedule and high-intensity matches in the new season. Barcelona fans are also looking forward to the club completing this key attraction as soon as possible to fully prepare for the new season.
