Shield the 'cracks' of the future or bring immediate reinforcement? It is time for Joan Laporta to make the decisions regarding what Barça needs

Calendar of FC Barcelona

After the renewals of Pedri González (2026) and Ansu Fati (2027), remains a lot of work for doing in the FC Barcelona for 'armour' to all the youngsters that there is in the staff and that suppose the future of the Barcelona club. The names of Ronald Araújo, Nico González or Gavi go in between the urgencies of the directors culés and it is necessary to begin to work to keep them in the staff by a few more.

Joan Laporta knows that the youngest players of the club are the future and that it is necessary to follow betting by The Masia as it has done in the last years, now more than ever. Quarry on wallet, in this case, because it is one of the few forms that have in the Barça to reinforce the team, since the economic situation is, as little, delicate and does not allow signings 'bomb', as they wanted the fans.

After resolving the subject of Pedri and Ansu, whose agreements won in the summer of 2022, the Barça will have to do the same with Ronald Araújo, whose bond with the Barcelona club finalises next summer. The 'charrúa' has showed a lot of personality and be a 'rock' in the defence, turning into one of the pillars of the blaugrana.

They have not existed a lot of informations regarding the extension of his agreement, further that the Barça wants to arrive to an agreement. As in the previous cases, the intention of the footballer, fichado for The Masia, is to remain in the team. At present it is lesionado, but keeps on being one of the 'fixed' of the team when it is available.

Likewise, for the Barça also has to be a priority renew to Riqui Puig and Gavi, whose agreements win in 2023. There is more margin of action, but the club has to resolve. The true is that the two live a very distinct situation.. Riqui, the one who carries several years in dynamics of first team, is a player that likes a lot in the Barcelona offices, but in which Ronald Koeman did not trust and contested very few minutes to his control. During the summer arrived to inform that if it arrived an offer, the club would give him exit. Something that never arrived. It will remain to see if has hollow in the first team or if it will finish abandoning Can Barça.

The new 'cracks' of the Barça

It happens all the contrary with Gavi (17), the one who has turned into one of the big illusions of the barcelonisma. The midfield player has index card of the filial and with an agreement until 2023. There are not worries, for the moment, but his impressive takeoff in the beginning of this season and announcement to the absolute selection, do that a lot of teams are attentive in him and the Barça will have to tie it immediately to avoid surprises.

Finally, it is necessary to loan atencióna another of the young talents that is giving that speak in these months. Nico González (19) has agreement until 2024 and is in the same situation that Gavi: his talent has marvelled to average Europe and is time to that the Barça improve his agreement and 'tie' with a clause that scare to the possible teams interested.
