Barcelona is closely monitoring 23-year-old Argentine defender Kevin Lomonaco from Independiente, as they anticipate potential departures of Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen from their central defense. Lomonaco, who is noted for his strong presence and composure on the ball, has attracted interest from various clubs but is seen as a fitting successor for Barça’s defensive needs. With a buyout clause of $20 million, Barcelona’s pursuit of Lomonaco hinges on the future of Araujo or Christensen, as the club may seek to bolster its backline accordingly.
