Barcelona are reportedly exploring options to sign RB Leipzig defender Mohamed Simakan who has been a consistent performer in the Bundesliga and has featured 122 times for Leipzig since arriving from RC Strasbourg in July 2021.

RB Leipzig are holding out a €50 million transfer fee to part ways with the 24-year-old defender and has captured the attention of several high-profile clubs all across Europe. Barcelona are keen on signing a new centre-back before deadline day given Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen’s long-term injury woes.

However, Barcelona would surely not have the funds to sign the Frenchman on a permanent deal this summer.
