The team brought in several reinforcements during the summer transfer season, which finished barely two weeks ago. FC Barcelona, on the other hand, is trying to strengthen their team in the next days.
The midfield pivot is one of the primary areas where the team believes it needs reinforcements. Only Oriol Romeu is now available to play in this position. While Frenkie de Jong and Ilkay Gundogan can fill in for Romeu in an emergency, this is not their strongest position.
As a result, SPORT says that the Catalans are keeping an eye on a number of players in order to provide coverage for Romeu. Given Barcelona’s present financial difficulties, two of these players are free agents and so viable choices.

Jean Philippe Gbamin and Joshua Guilavogui are the free agents. The former is a 27-year-old midfielder who has trained with the French national team’s younger teams but is still eligible to play for the Ivorian senior team. He spent three seasons with Mainz, four seasons with Everton, and the last season on loan at Trabzonspor.
The other player is Joshua Guilavogui, who has already played in La Liga. The midfielder was a part of the 2013-14 Atletico Madrid squad which went on to win the league title on the last day. Since then, he has been playing for Wolfsburg and also has had a loan spell at Bourdeaux.
Guilavogio is currently 32 years old, and possibly already has his best years behind him. However, he can still be a considerable option for Barcelona, as he is a free agent and would not require too high wages if he were to move to the Catalan capital.
