The full picture

Barcelona is working on new signings for the upcoming winter transfer window due to a shortage of defenders caused by injuries and physical problems, according to Hansi Flick's confirmation. The club is looking to sign a center-back and possibly a fullback. Recent reports suggest that they are considering various options to address these positions. The exact players they will target remain to be seen.

Barcelona has shown interest in signing Spanish right-back Pedro Porro, who is currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur. Both Hansi Flick and Deco consider him their favorite fullback candidate, and Porro himself wants to return to Spain. However, Tottenham is valuing Porro at €70 million, a price Barcelona believes is not in line with the current market reality.

Barcelona has informed Pedro Porro's entourage that his signing is contingent on Tottenham lowering its asking price. The club is also prioritizing the signing of a center-back in January and will consider signing a fullback only if their budget allows. They have an alternative target in mind, Spanish fullback Ivan Fresneda.

Source context

Despite having made seven new signings during the last summer transfer window, FC Barcelona are once again working to make even more signings in the upcoming winter transfer window. Hansi Flick himself confirmed this as he faces a shortage of defenders due to injuries and physical problems. Recent reports suggest that the Catalans would be looking to sign a center-back in the upcoming transfer window, while other reports have claimed that in addition to a center-back, they might also look to sign a fullback. For now, it remains to be seen which players, if any, they will sign to address these positions. However, there is one fullback that has remained highly attractive to Barcelona in recent months, i.e., the Spanish right-back Pedro Porro.
