FC Barcelona sporting director Deco has been holding face-to-face discussions with the representatives of midfield targets including Valencia CF’s Javi Guerra. Barcelona has also been linked to Paris Saint-Germain’s Kang-in Lee, though no confirmed meeting with Deco was recorded regarding Lee alongside Guerra.

Two very different profiles, one shared position

Javi Guerra is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Valencia CF. His asking price sits at approximately €20 million, a figure that multiple Premier League clubs have reportedly been willing to entertain.

Kang-in Lee is a 25-year-old South Korean international at PSG. He joined the Parisian club from Mallorca in 2023.

Guerra’s situation at Valencia is particularly interesting. The club has been dealing with its own financial pressures, which could make them more amenable to negotiations at the right price. For a player of his age and potential, €20 million would represent a reasonable outlay by modern transfer standards.
