Barcelona will face heavy competition from Atletico Madrid for the signing of Gonzalo Villar, a
Spanish midfielder.
Since joining AS Roma in January 2020, the 23-year-old has established himself as a regular starter.
Barcelona wants to sign a midfielder this summer, according to Fichajes. The Catalan giants were reportedly close to acquiring Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, with sources claiming the player and the club had reached a deal.
On the other hand, PSG has hijacked Barcelona's pursuit of Wijnaldum and is likely to sign the 30-year-old. As a result, the Blaugrana's emphasis has shifted to Gonzalo Villar.
During the 2020-21 season, the Spaniard was an essential player of AS Roma's squad. For the Italian club, he made 47 appearances in all competitions.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Barcelona must evaluate a variety of factors.
To begin with, Miralem Pjanic's future at the club is in doubt. Since his debut at Camp Nou last summer, the former Juventus star has battled to settle in and is rumoured to be desperate to go. Ronald Koeman is interested in bringing in a long-term successor for Sergio Busquets, the club's experienced midfielder.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid may be looking for a new midfielder this summer, as Saul Niguez is expected to leave.
Los Rojiblancos will want to add to their team to boost their prospects of maintaining their La Liga title and mounting a meaningful Champions League bid next season.
The necessity for a new defensive midfielder at Barcelona could be the ideal situation for Gonzalo Villar.
Due to fierce competition for Diego Simeone's team positions, the teenager is expected to get more game time at Camp Nou than at Atletico Madrid.
