FC Barcelona is seeking a left-footed central defender, but financial constraints are making top targets like Nico Schlotterbeck of Borussia Dortmund and Gonçalo Inácio of Sporting CP prohibitively expensive. This situation has led the club to focus on younger talent. According to Sport, Barcelona's attention has shifted to France and 17-year-old French defender Tylel Tati, who is performing well for Nantes. The defender, who stands at 1.92m, has impressed Catalan observers with his speed and composure. Tati, who has made six appearances in Ligue 1, is viewed as a long-term investment for the Spanish champions and recently signed his first professional contract with Nantes, which runs until 2028. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3 million.
