"There have been reports suggesting that the Blaugrana would consider signing a young talent with immense potential, while some sources have claimed that the Catalans want someone established, on loan, so that they can make an immediate impact. Either way, there have been many players linked, ranging from veteran defender Nicolas Otamendi of Benfica to teenager Luka Vuskovic of Tottenham (on loan at Hamburg)."
"Indeed, according to Matteo Moretto on MARCA, Barcelona like 18-year-old Mlacic a lot and have asked about his situation at Hajduk Split. The Blaugrana admire the teenage prospect because of his profile and potential and have made enquiries for him. However, as per the report, a move for the young Croatian defender will be anything but straightforward, as several other clubs have also shown an interest in him."
FC Barcelona need a new centre-back after Andreas Christensen’s injury and are exploring January transfer options. The club is weighing signing a high-potential youngster versus an established defender on loan for immediate impact. Linked targets have ranged from veteran Nicolas Otamendi to teenager Luka Vuskovic, and Barcelona have enquired about 18-year-old Branimir Mlacic of Hajduk Split. Barcelona value Mlacic’s profile, physical presence, speed and comfort on the ball and see significant potential. Interest from Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Olympique de Marseille complicates any move, making a January or 2026 summer transfer difficult.
