– Press reports confirmed that Barcelona is planning to support its ranks with new players in the summer transfer period, where the club focuses in particular on strengthening the midfield, and in this context, sources said that Barcelona is closely monitoring Thomas Barti, the Arsenal midfielder, who is scheduled to become a free player at the end of the season.
Barcelona is intensifying its interest in Pariti in recent weeks, as it is an attractive option because of the end of its contract with Arsenal this summer, which makes it a possible deal in light of the financial conditions of the club.
Barcelona is scheduled to send representatives to follow the performance of Barti during his participation in the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Arsenal this week in Santiago Bernabeu.
In a related context, the club president, Juan Laporta, asked Deco and the scout team to monitor the player accurately, due to his extensive experience in the European championships, in addition to his knowledge of the Spanish league through his previous experience with Atletico Madrid.
