2022 Summer Football Transfer Window
2022 Summer Football Transfer: 5 potential moves for Barcelona before deadline
The summer football transfer window 2022 will come to an end on September 1. All of the teams in Europe will aim to sign and sell players before the transfer window ends in order to build their ideal squads for the current season. FC Barcelona, one of the top clubs in Europe, could be more active than others. To make room for new signings and register them for La Liga, they must let go of some big names. Here are the top five transfers that FC Barcelona might make before the deadline.
Players who could join before the end of 2022 summer transfer window
As per multiple sources, Barcelona are still targeting three players to include in their squad before the 2022 Summer Football Transfer window gets closed. These three players are Manchester City’s creative midfielder Bernardo Silva; Chelsea’s wing-back Marcos Alonso; and Villarreal’s right-back Juan Foyth.
Among the targeted three players, English Champions Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva would be the most expensive one to buy. He will cost around 100 million euros, which at this stage seems pretty difficult to negotiate. Because Manchester City need to find a suitable replacement for him.

Besides, Barcelona don’t have enough budget where they can spend close to 100 million on a single player. As a result, Silva's summer move to the Catalan club is highly unlikely.
Chelsea's Marcos Alonso is another top target for the Blaugrana. Buying Alonso would be much cheaper than buying Bernardo Silva, as Chelsea are reportedly ready to offload their premier left-back for around 10 million euros.
Having Alonso in the squad would provide head coach Xavi Hernandez with an alternative option beside Jordi Alba in the left-wing back position. Both players can give each other a challenge to earn a place in the playing XI.

Argentina’s talented right-back Juan Foyth is the latest player to be heavily linked with FC Barcelona, as per multiple sources. Sergino Dest will be replaced by Foyth, who will be a direct replacement for Sergino Dest if he joins the club. However, Barcelona may have to splash around 30 million euros to get Foyth from Villarreal.
The Catalan club is not willing to pay this amount of money for a right-back; rather, they are in search of alternative options. A like-for-like trade with Borussia Dortmund, in which Thomas Meunier would move to Spain and Sergino Dest to Germany, may be one of the choices.
Players who could leave before the end of transfer window 2022
Frenkie de Jong is frequently in the news for leaving Barcelona during the 2022 summer transfer window. He was initially linked with Manchester United, but they later withdrew their proposal. At the moment, Chelsea are considering bringing this talented Dutch defensive midfielder to Stamford Bridge.

However, Frankie’s wage-related issue with Barcelona seems to be a stumbling block for any such deal. But the Catalan club is still confident that they can find a solution in order to make the transfer happen.
Two of the main forwards for Barcelona last season, Memphis Depay and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, have been heavily linked with Juventus and Chelsea. According to reports, Barcelona board is reportedly ready to release Memphis on a free transfer to Italian powerhouse Juventus in order to save his salary.
On the other hand, Aubameyang is loved by Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel. The English club is ready to offer, reportedly, around 30 million euros for his services.

Aside from them, FC Barcelona have put Samuel Umtiti, Martin Braithwaite, Miralem Pjanic, and Sergio Dest up for sale.
Bottom Line
Selling players from the current squad appears to be more difficult than expected for FC Barcelona in the 2022 summer football transfer. Because of that, the Catalan club is finding it hard to register all the players they have brought in this window. The Blaugrana hope to bring in at least two more players before the transfer window closes on September 1st.
Barcelona must sell a few of its best players from the current roster in order to make room for the incoming players. Will Barcelona execute their plan to sell and purchase players with only one week left before the deadline? Given the urgency they have shown this summer; Barcelona might perhaps be the busiest team in the final few days of this transfer window.

Summer footballer transfer window 2022: 5 big moves can happen before deadline
European football clubs are busy strengthening their squads in the summer football transfer window 2022. The hierarchy of the big clubs have splashed money to bring their desired players into the squads in order to be more competitive for the next season. On the other hand, some players are keen to part ways with their current clubs in order to take a new step in their careers. Players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, Robert Lewandowski, Paulo Dybala, and Frenkie de Jong are all in the market for a move. Let’s take a look at the situations of these players in the transfer market.
5 superstar footballers who could move in the 2022 summer football transfer window
With players like Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez, the summer football transfer window 2022 has already seen some significant movements. More exciting deals will probably be witnessed during the next two months before the transfer deadline on September 1. The transfer market is now buzzing with speculation about what Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr., Robert Lewandowski, Paulo Dybala, and Frenkie de Jong will do next.
Cristiano Ronaldo
According to reports, the sensational Portuguese player of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has officially asked to leave the club this summer. There is no secret that Ronaldo wants to play Champions League football and he can’t take part in the European club competition if he stays at Manchester United next season. Manchester United hierarchy has already informed Cristiano that he is not up for sale and insists that they want him to honor the final year of his contract.

If Ronaldo does leave, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Napoli are among the clubs vying for his services, according to multiple sources. However, given Ronaldo's current age (37), he will find it difficult to join any major European club.
Neymar Jr
Paris Saint-Germain are ready to offload Neymar Jr. this summer as they seek new direction under the leadership of new football adviser Luis Campos. Neymar is not part of Campos's plan, so PSG are keen to sell the Brazilian superstar, who they bought for a record price from Barcelona back in 2017.
Only a handful of clubs can afford Neymar’s wage, but his unprofessional behavior could be a stumbling block for any big club considering any such move. Meanwhile, the latest reports suggest that Neymar triggered the contract clause which will see him stay at PSG till 2027. This will certainly make Neymar’s transfer even more difficult. His options for loan destinations include FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Manchester City, and possibly Manchester United. However, anything could happen regarding Neymar’s transfer before the deadline day.

Robert Lewandowski
Bayern Munich’s Polish striker Robert Lewandowski wants to move away from his current club and seek a new challenge. Lewandowski’s preferred destination is FC Barcelona, but given the current financial situation of the Spanish club, any such move is not as simple as it was a few years ago. They have to spend 50 million euros or more to lure him to Camp Nou.
Lewandowski has other options if Barcelona fails to sign him this summer. Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG, and the giants of Italy will be happy to have his service.
Paulo Dybala
The Argentine attacking midfielder Paulo Dybala has parted ways with Juventus after failing to reach an agreement with the club regarding salary. Dybala wants to earn more money, but the Turin-based club didn’t want to pay the sum he wanted. Inter Milan could be a possible destination for Dybala. However, Dybala has to wait a little longer as Inter need to offload either Edin Dzeko or Alexis Sanchez to make way for Paulo.

Besides, they also have to reach an agreement with Dybala on his salary demand. If Inter misses out on signing Dybala, then the Argentine has to search for a new club. Inter’s rival AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, and some English and Spanish clubs are interested in him.
Frenkie de Jong
Barcelona’s defensive midfielder, Frenkie de Jong, doesn’t want to leave the club as he prefers to play in the UEFA Champions League next season. However, Barcelona want to sell the talented midfielder as they want to raise money to buy Lewandowski. Manchester United’s current manager, Eric ten Hag, is a big admirer of Frenkie de Jong and wants to bring him to Old Trafford.
Though it could be a move against the players' wishes. As per the latest report, Barcelona's president isn’t really keen on selling the Dutchman. This trade may take place prior to the deadline day if Manchester United make a strong bid for Frenkie.

Bottom Line
As per the latest updates, Barcelona’s talented Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong is most likely to move to Manchester United in the summer football transfer window 2022. The current financial situation of FC Barcelona has forced them to think about selling Frankie to the English club. Besides, Barcelona need a world-class forward and they can use de Jong’s transfer money to bring Lewandowski to Camp Nou.
Argentina’s Paulo Dybala’s likely destination could be either Inter Milan or AC Milan. PSG want to sell Neymar Jr, but his huge wage could potentially block the transfer. Besides, it wouldn't be as simple to fulfill Cristiano Ronaldo's ambition to join a team that would compete in the Champions League next season as it was a few years ago.
