The summer transfer window is well and truly over. It was a rather disappointing one for Barcelona, who were only able to sign Dani Olmo, despite being linked with superstars such as Nico Williams and Federico Chiesa, among others.
However, although the market has completely shut, Barcelona still have the option to reinforce their squad by signing free agents.
There is no shortage of free agents in the market either. So, here, at Barça Universal, we will take a look at three free agents Barcelona can sign, in order to bolster their squad during the course of the next 6 months.
Adrien Rabiot
Adrien Rabiot, a 29-year-old French midfielder, stands out as a potential addition to Barcelona’s squad.
Currently without a club, Rabiot is the most valuable free agent on the market, with an estimated value of €35 million. His versatility, experience and ball-carrying ability make him an attractive option, especially considering the recent injury to Marc Bernal.
Rabiot has had a solid career with stints at Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, and he is known for his ability to control the tempo of the game and provide defensive solidity.

While he is not a top priority for Barcelona, reports suggest he remains on the club’s radar as a talented and experienced option.
Rabiot’s capacity to play as a pivot or a box-to-box midfielder could be beneficial for Hansi Flick’s plans, providing depth and experience in the central midfield position.
Mario Hermoso
Another name under consideration is Spanish centre-back Mario Hermoso. The 28-year-old, valued at €25 million, is currently without a club and could provide much-needed cover in defence.
