Based on club priorities, sporting director Deco and manager Hansi Flick are expected to address the centre-forward department first before intensifying their pursuit at the back.
The 28-year-old defender is actively pushing for an exit from North London despite being contracted until 2029. While Inter Milan currently lead the race for his signature, Barcelona remain well-positioned to pounce if they decide to accelerate their defensive overhaul.
Bringing in a proven winner with his pedigree would provide a massive boost to a backline that has lacked veteran leadership since Inigo Martinez departed. Pairing the World Cup champion alongside youngster Pau Cubarsi presents an enticing prospect for the Catalan giants.
However, a formal bid is unlikely to materialise unless Barcelona sanction key departures from their current squad first. As the transfer window progresses, fans await to see if the club will turn their underlying interest into a concrete offer.
