Defensive midfielders were considered by the Catalan giants, especially as Oriol Romeu’s departure appeared to leave Hansi Flick short of options – he had been, although the return of Frenkie de Jong (and the impending one of Gavi) means that Barcelona are now well-covered in the position.
As per MD, one player that Barcelona were interested in during the summer was Tijjani Reijnders – this was confirmed by the AC Milan midfielder’s father.
“I only had direct contact with Barcelona, talking to the technical director, Deco. I even checked his profile picture to make sure it really was him. It is clear that we are flattered by Barcelona’s interest.”
Reijnders is a very impressive player, and he would have suited Flick’s system at Barcelona. However, missing out on him is not a big deal, as there are many capable players already at the club.
