Barcelona have compiled a shortlist of seven centre-back targets ahead of the January transfer window, according to a report from Barca Universal. The Catalan club is reportedly looking to strengthen its defensive options during the mid-season window.
The report, published on November 7, 2026, indicates that the club's recruitment team has identified multiple candidates to address defensive depth concerns. Specific names of the seven players were not disclosed in the initial report.
Barcelona's pursuit of central defensive reinforcements comes as the club continues to manage squad depth across competitions. The January window would provide an opportunity to address any defensive vulnerabilities before the second half of the season.
