He wants to get it from Simeone, the player that Barcelona wants

FC Barcelona wants to reinforce its squad for the January transfer market. According to recent reports, the Catalan club has set its eyes on one of its competitors, Atlético de Madrid. His goal is for him to be Alejandro Balde's replacement. The player, despite being one of Atlético de Madrid's newest signings, has not had a good start in his new team. The difficulties of adaptation and the limited playing time have generated rumors about his future at the Madrid club.

Barcelona has made the signing of Javi Galán a priority, and although it was thought that the operation would be closed during the summer, it could finally take place in January. Galán has not been able to adapt to Atlético de Madrid's style of play, and this could facilitate his departure. The left back joined Atlético de Madrid from Celta in this year's summer transfer window. However, his lack of consistency as a starter under Diego Simeone has raised doubts about his permanence in the team.

Barcelona has had interest in Javi Galán in the past, with a follow-up lasting two years. Despite previous failed attempts, the club is confident that this time the negotiation will be successful, although they admit that the winter transfer window may have certain difficulties. With Xavi Hernández in charge, he wants to strengthen his squad and Javi Galán presents himself as an interesting alternative to improve his defense. 

Although there is no certainty that the operation will be closed in January, Barcelona is willing to try and explore the possibility of signing Javi Galán for their ranks. The Catalan club will face Athletic Bilbao corresponding to matchday 10 of the Spanish League. It can be seen from 4:00 p.m. at the Estadio Olimpico Lluís Companys stadium, in Barcelona on Sunday, October 22.

The market value that Galán has

Javi Galán has a contract with Atlético de Madrid until 2026. However, Barcelona could try to take advantage of the situation to sign him in January, with the goal of recovering the investment made by Atlético, which paid around 5 million euros for him. Galán's market price, according to Transfermarkt, is 12 million euros, which would make the operation easier.
