Ronald Koeman has centred totally in the planning of the Barça for the next season. The Dutch strategist has a lot of options to continue the course that comes in the Camp Nou. In fact, it carries several weeks gathering with the new director of football, Mateu Alemany, as well as the technical secretary, Ramón Plans, to project the reinforcements that needs the team.
The trainer blaugrana has had a first season in the Barcelona that has gone of less to more. In spite of that had a start of season had an accident has achieved to give back the illusion to the barcelonismo and that all the first team go back to be hungry of titles. Everything without signings and putting to The Farm and to the youngsters in the centre of the equation.
Nevertheless, the own Koeman already knows that, to be able to aspire to the Champions League, the team needs more than what already has. Therefore, it has asked to the board of Joan Laporta that encourage , in spite of the economic situation, to close three signings that can be determinants for the future.
García, Wijnaldum and Depay
The one who has more possibilities to complete is the one of Éric García. The club carries months negotiating with his surroundings, whose agreement with the English square finishes this summer. The relations have complicated after the new board offered him conditions underneath of which had agreed with Bartomeu. However, many expect that it finish signing the proposal.
Instead, with the others two there is a lot of more doubts. Koeman Would want to have two compatriots to which knows well of his days in the selection of his country, like the forward of the Lyon, Menphis Depay and the midfield player of the Liverpool Georginio Wijnaldum. Both finish also agreement and would be excellent additions.
The problem for the office of the club, is that they fear that the midfield player of the Liverpool could truncate the progression of some youngsters that have had a big development like Ilaix Moriba, Pedri González or Riqui Puig.
However, the one of the Lyon has showed a good level this year, but the directive seems by the most centred moment in closing an agreement with the "kun" Agüero, that besides would approach the renewal of Leo Messi. Nevertheless, his arrival would not be very seen by Koeman, the one who prefers to Depay by his polivalencia, his age by on the crack of the City, since this only could play like central forward.
Surprise bomb: Neymar or Haaland
On the other hand, Koeman also has urged to the leaders of the Barça to treat to close a "signing bomb", that reduced the responsibility of Leo Messi in attack. The options that would be posing the club are Neymar or Haaland. The attacker of the Dortmund is an option of much more future, but his incorporation would involve an enormous investment, since his clause surpasses the one hundred millions and the accounts of the Camp Nou would not give to pay it.
By this, for the moment the eye would have it put in the Brazilian. His agreement finishes in 2022, and would be doing time in his renewal with the PSG to know if possible that it can return to the Camp Nou to go back to be with Messi. If it decides not extending his links with the PSG, would leave that it go to another club to a more or less affordable price.
Coordinating with the directive
Nevertheless, before thinking in signings, Laporta and Koeman already have agreed the footballers that are in the ramp of exit, and by which the club will try no only solve his tesorería, but also do box. Besides, no descarta neither put in the market to players of weight like Dembelé, Griezmann or Coutinho. What himself is evident, is that to the Barcelona expects him a summer moved.
