The Gunners have been without Tomiyasu basically all season because of a serious injury, but the Japan international has often been a solid performer for the club when fit.
It now looks like Barca are eyeing up a surprise move for Tomiyasu, with Deco seemingly confident a deal could be done on the cheap, according to Fichajes.
The report states that Barcelona have monitored Tomiyasu in the past, so it seems they have a long-term admiration for the player, even if he’s had his recurring fitness issues.
With Tomiyasu set to be out of contract in 2026, it seems Barcelona feel they could negotiate a deal to sign the 26-year-old for a reasonable price this summer.

Even if Arsenal might feel they’d do well to keep hold of a solid and reliable squad player like Tomiyasu, it might also be smart to cash in on him while they can.
The north London giants might be concerned about giving Tomiyasu a new deal due to his poor record with injuries, so it would surely be best to avoid losing him for free.
Tomiyasu has attracted transfer interest from Serie A in recent times, so there should be options out there for AFC if they decide to put him on the market.
