Despite having significantly strengthened their team during the last summer transfer window, FC Barcelona are once again being linked with some exciting players from around the world, especially some youngsters who are showing promising potential. In recent days, [they have been linked with the likes of Niko Ilicevic](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/barcelona-battle-real-madrid-inter-and-bayern-for-promising-german-youngster/), JJ Gabriel, and Finn Jeltsch.
Now, another player has been added to this list, as [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20261007/1004235889/colocan-barca-lista-josh-king.html) cites TEAMtalk to highlight that the Blaugrana club is one of the several clubs interested in the 19-year-old Fulham midfielder Josh King. Barcelona scouts have regularly been watching him during this new season, and have been impressed with his performances so far.
The 19-year-old has been playing at a very good level at this initial stage of the new season, scoring two goals in five Premier League games. He has maintained his good level despite his team enduring quite a poor start to the 2026-27 season.
In addition to Barcelona, other big European clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Inter Milan, and Atletico Madrid are also monitoring the young English midfielder. However, the Blaugranes are currently the most interested in the player, and can even make a move for him in the next summer transfer window.
However, one aspect that can water down their interest is the high value of the Englishman. He has a contract till 2029 with the Premier League side, and is valued at around €60 million. This is not a sum the Catalans are looking to spend on such a young player, either now or in the next summer transfer window.
There is no doubt that Josh King would be an appealing target for Barcelona, especially because of his youth and room for further growth. But for now, the Blaugranes are only monitoring him, and it remains to be seen whether they will make a move for him in the coming months.
