Barcelona Eyes PSG’s Danilo Pereira as Potential Midfield Solution
Barcelona has been presented with an opportunity to bolster their midfield by signing Danilo Pereira from Paris Saint-Germain.
The offer comes as the Catalan giants face a shortage of options in the middle of the park, with Oriol Romeu returning to Girona and Frenkie de Jong sidelined with no clear return date.
Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes, known for brokering significant deals across Europe, has reportedly put forward Danilo’s name to Barcelona.
The 32-year-old, who joined PSG from FC Porto in 2020, has made over 150 appearances for the French champions, primarily operating as a defensive midfielder.
While Danilo’s experience and physical presence could provide Barcelona with much-needed depth, there are questions about his recent form.
The midfielder has seen his performances dip in the past few seasons, raising doubts about whether he can thrive in Barcelona’s high-tempo, possession-based system.
Financially, Danilo could be a viable option for Barcelona, especially with his contract set to expire at the end of the 2024/25 season.
However, the club’s recent struggles with integrating Oriol Romeu into the squad may give them pause as they consider whether Danilo could face similar challenges.
Barcelona’s hunt for midfield reinforcements continues, but the decision to pursue Danilo Pereira will likely hinge on whether the club believes he can recapture his best form and adapt to the demands of La Liga.
With the transfer window ticking down, Barcelona must weigh their options carefully.
