The 30-year-old is a year into his deal Romebut it is not necessarily part of Daniele de Rossi's plans, and Sport say that Barcelona has been offered the former midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain.

Paredes is technically gifted, but similar to Adrien Rabiot, who has also been offered to Barcelona in recent days, he provides the Blaugrana with another profile that does not contrast with what they already have in midfield. The Sports Director Deco has shown a clear preference to bring a more physical option in the midfield, and while Paredes is cheap and experienced, he is unlikely to raise the level of the team.
