Aguero and Alaba become top transfer targets for Barcelona
Memphis Depay, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Eric Garcia have long been rumored as Barcelona’s top transfer targets. Why? In short, they’ll all be free agents in the summer and are rated by Ronald Koeman and the club board.
Koeman, however, conceded Barcelona’s economic situation will influence more transfer decisions.

Both men will also become free agents at the end of the season. [Mundo Deportivo, via Mail on Sunday]
