In spite of the financial crisis, the FC Barcelona has attained fichar footballers in the last years with the talent and the necessary character to be the leaders of the club to average and long term. From his debut in the first team in the 2020/21, so much Pedri like Ronald Araújo have assumed 'chevrons' to load with the leadership of the centre of the field and the defence, respectively. Now, with the imminent arrival of Vitor Roque, the club adds another key piece for which will be his vertebral column in the future.
And it is that the Brazilian is the big offensive bet of the Barça for the next seasons. The factor age does to foresee that Robert Lewandowski will not go further of a pair of seasons to tope, although the Pole has agreement until 2026. Thus, the managerial bet for jointing to 'Lewy' with 'Tigrinho' so that the youngster win shooting and experience until turning into the '9' headline of the team.
The Barça expects to have one or two leaders by line
For the moment, the only of the 'old policeman' culé that keeps fixed in the XI is Marc-André ter Stegen. The performance of the German in the 2022/23 cleared the doubts on his continuity and, to keep healthy, the '1' can guarantee security in the Barcelona arch by several years more. In defence, in addition to Araújo, the past season brought achieve two players by which the club bets on a long-term basis: Jules Koundé and Álex Balde.
With the Frenchman, the plans aim to deliver him officially the right side if it does not arrive a natural player for this place before finalising the market. By his part, Balde was able of 'jubilar' to Jordi Alba and, for now, there are not doubts on his capacity to be the left-handed side of the team during long. Also they have been valuable the additions of Andreas Christensen and Marcos Alonso, two footballers that have to step forward in the 2023/24 to struggle by the titularity.
Pedri And Gavi, the owners of the centre of the field
Beside Pedri, all the football of the Barça happens from does already a time by the booties of Gavi. The pair of 'jugones' emulate what in his moment were Xavi and Iniesta and, while the injuries respect them, will be very difficult to see them out of the XI. In attack, the arrival of Vitor Roque supposes the cherry of the cake to have an ideal relief for Lewandowski.
By the sides still there is uncertainty on the future of Raphinha and Dembélé, more still supposing that one of the two will be acting after the arrival of Ílkay Gündogan. The another 'hollow' that remains for covering is the pivote, where the exit of Sergio Busquets follows without having reliable relief. In the future, Xavi expects that the finances of the club allow to bring to Martín Zubimendi, but this year will be necessary to conform with a solution 'low cost'. Like this, the Barça goes defining, in spite of the crisis, the one who will be his XI of the future with the mission to go back to reign in Europe.
