Barcelona is reportedly looking to strengthen its defence in the January transfer window, with the club’s scouting network reportedly keeping an eye on several players. According to the sports newspaper Sport, the name of Milan defender Leonardo Tomori has appeared on the club’s shortlist. Tomori, who was initially left out of the Serie A club’s squad by manager Rúben Amorim during the summer transfer window, was later re‑integrated before the market closed. His contract with Milan is set to expire in June, making him a potential free‑agent target for Barcelona. Other defenders that have attracted interest from the Catalan side include: Vítor Reis – Manchester City Piero Hincapié – Arsenal Lisandro Martínez – Manchester United Lucas Beraldo – Paris Saint‑Germain Jorrel Hato – Chelsea Jonathan Tah – Bayern Munich Barcelona’s search is focused on a low‑cost acquisition, with the club reportedly aiming for a central defender whose transfer fee does not exceed €4 million. This would keep the deal within the financial limits imposed by La Liga’s wage‑cap regulations.
