Barcelona are expected to get more defensive signings during next summer’s transfer window. According to the reports, a new right- and left-back is wanted, while another central defender could also be brought in – especially if Andreas Christensen is moved on, which is likely.

Jonathan Tah has been linked with Barcelona for the past couple of months, and it seems that the Catalan giants’ interest in the German international is genuine. According to Jijantes, sporting director Deco flew to Leverkusen on Thursday to hold talks with the defender and his agent.

Tah is expected to leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season after the end of his contract. His future has generally been widely speculated in recent weeks, with Premier League clubs and Bayern Munich also being linked with him. However, Barcelona will fan their chances of stealing a mark on their rivals, as they continue to chase his acquisition.
