Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old English international Tyrick Mitchell, with Crystal Palace worried about his future.
According to a report by Football Insider, Barcelona are hoping to sign Tyrick Mitchell on a bargain, and Crystal Palace are now worried about losing the 25-year-old defender .
The English defender will be a free agent at the end of the season, and he will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with Barcelona in January. Atletico Madrid and AC Milan are keen on the player as well.
The Englishman could prove to be a useful acquisition for all three clubs, especially on a free transfer. It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace can convince the player to turn down a move to Barcelona and sign a new contract with them. He is a key player for them, and losing him would weaken them.
Furthermore, losing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a major blow. It will be interesting to see if Tyrick Mitchell is willing to sign a short-term extension with Crystal Palace so that they can recoup some money from his departure.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will be determined to get the deal done on a free transfer. The Blaugrana are going through financial difficulties, and signing a player of his quality for free will be an attractive proposition for them. The 25-year-old will be attracted to the idea of playing for the Spanish giants next season as well.
It would be a huge step in his career, and there is no doubt that he will be tempted to join them. Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to push for major trophies regularly. He would get to play alongside world-class players at the Spanish club as well.
Tyrick Mitchell would be a quality addition
The 25-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he has the attributes to do well in La Liga as well. He will look to establish himself as a regular starter for Barcelona if the move goes through.
It will be interesting to see if the Catalan club can secure a pre-contract agreement with that defender when the transfer window reopens next month. The 25-year-old has been linked with English clubs like Arsenal and Tottenham as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to come forward with an offer to sign the player next month.
Whoever ends up signing the 25-year-old on a free transfer, will have a major bargain on their hands. The English international is entering his peak years, and he is likely to play his best football in the coming seasons.
