FC Barcelona to sign two midfielders before the start of preseason

Ernesto Valverde has demanded the club hierarchy to finish their transfer business quickly. According to Don Balon, he has specifically told the club to sign two midfielders before the team starts their preseason training on July 11.

The two names on Barcelona’s radar are – Arthur Melo and Miralem Pjanic. The latter will cost €80 million from Juventus whereas the former is already a Barcelona player, albeit from January. The club wants to negotiate a deal with Gremio that will help the midfielder arrive in Spain six months earlier than expected.
