Barcelona 2020 Transfer Odds on Three Key Positions

The summer transfer window is about to open, but Barcelona are already in the market and started completing deals. Barcelona 2020 transfer odds are wide open, but there are three key positions to look at, with some big names on the shortlist.

According to online sportsbook news in Spain, Barcelona are seeking reinforcements in many areas of the squad. They are in the hunt for a goalscoring striker, a center-back, and an anchoring midfielder. The most critical position that needs to be sorted out is in the midfield, and that is why Barcelona have already started making deals. Arthur Melo was profitably swapped with Miralem Pjanic. A deal that might help, but it will not be an ultimate solution.

Quique Setien along with Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes have their own shortlist. As Barcelona 2020 transfer odds indicate, on top are Lautaro Martinez or Raul Jimenez in the frontline. In the midfield, Fabian Ruiz is the favorite. Whereas, in the backline, Dayot Upamecano is the hottest for Barcelona.

Barcelona 2020 transfer odds on a targeted striker

Recruiting a striker remains a priority for Barcelona. It is no surprise as Luis Suarez still struggles after multiple injuries, and he is no longer that young. Besides, Griezmann is still unable to fit into the team. As a result, he might either accept sitting on the bench for some time and try to prove himself, or he will search for a way out. This means a reliable striker is seriously missing.

BetVictor offers 1.667 odds on Barcelona to sign the Argentinian striker Lautaro Martinez. Previously Lautaro Martinez next club odds have been favoring Chelsea. However, the Blues completed deals with Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech recently. Thus, there is no longer a vacant place in the starting 11 for Martinez. Besides, it is impossible for such a great striker to settle for a place on the bench. Therefore, a move to Barcelona is more likely now, but the striker has a very hefty price, and it is unclear whether Barca are willing to spend big this summer.

The other option is the Mexican striker Raul Jimenez, who has been outstanding for Wolves. Barcelona 2020 transfer odds value 5 for Barca to sign Jimenez. He is much more affordable than Martinez and very talented. However, he is 29 and he is not at that level to become the first option for Barcelona. So, will Jimenez and Barcelona agree on a deal? It is unlikely but never say never.

Fabian Ruiz top target in the midfield

After the end of Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets era, Barcelona were never able to find a new combination. The only one left is Busquets, but he is in the twilight of his career. Barca focused on two promising players Arthur Melo and Frenkie de Jong. Melo has been just swapped for an experienced central midfielder Pjanic. A deal that is somehow controversial.

Barcelona have also the veteran duo Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal who are very solid, but still, productive midfielders in the final third are missing. Not to mention that one of the two Rakitic and Vidal will likely move out of the Camp Nou this summer. All for that makes the 24-year-old Fabian Ruiz the favorite with 7 odds. He has already played under the leadership of Quique Setien at Real Betis. Ruiz is versatile, and he has superb passing skills, all that Barca direly need.

Dayot Upamecano a strong center back

As Samuel Umtiti is rumored to leave Camp Nou this summer and Gerard Pique is in his senior stage a replacement will be strongly needed. Barcelona need someone who can anchor the backline. Thus, Dayot Upamecano (13) is seemingly the hottest defensive transfer target in the world right now. His contract with Leipzig expires next summer, and that is why selling him will be a priority for Leipzig, especially if they know an extension is unlikely. It will be a great deal for Barca at a reasonable price.
