FC Barcelona has been trying to find a defensive midfielder since last summer because of Sergio Busquets' departure. The Spanish midfielder has been vital for the club for many years, but after his departure, the team has struggled this season defensively. The Catalan club brought in Oriol Romeu, but he has not lived up to expectations. Barcelona looked to sign Everton's Amadou Onana for a reasonable price but now Bayern Munich's interest has increased that price tag.
Bayern Munich are ready to step up their efforts to sign Amadou Onana from Everton as the Bundesliga club looks to add a defensive midfielder to its squad in the summer.
