Joan Laporta is conscious that to restructure to the FC Barcelona is necessary the incoporación of big players, but also renew to key pieces of the team

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona needs of a lot of magic to go back to the highest in all the competitions. Althoughl to mejoría of the ones of Ronald Koeman is more than evident, follows without being sufficient to compete in Europe, an appearance that the new president blaugrana, Joan Laporta, will try to remedy immediately. For this, has under way a sportive project in which they will have a lot of exits, but also the arrival of some 'cracks' with which dreams the barcelonismo and, more important still, the possible renewal of the most important players of the staff.

For the maximum Catalan mandator the renewal of Lionel Messi is the most paramount. Already in his investiture like president of the Barça aimed that "I will try to convince to Messi so that it remain ", by what already would have traced a plan to present him to the Argentinian, the one who continues debating his future. However, Laporta is positive in this regard and will do all the necessary to keep by some years more to 'The Flea' in the Camp Nou.

The true is that Messi is one of the three players in which it thinks Laporta like the base of his 'revolution' in Can Barça, with a lot of reasons. The star of Rosario, to his 33 years, continue being a player imponente, determinant, creative and with little margin of failure of face to the rival goal. Besides, it keeps on being the engine of the team and one of the big managers of the good moment that lives the FC Barcelona in League and Glass of Rey.

But I Read it is not the only in which Laporta thinks, although yes it is the most important. The Catalan lawyer in different opportunities has referred to the importance that has Ousmane Dembélé for this Barça and will look for to renew him at all costs, since his agreement wins in the summer of 2022 and, up to now, have not existed conversations on a possible extension of the agreement.

The French has recovered his best football and every time is more important in the approach of Koeman by his explosividad, desborde and big speed. His only failure, at least in the last week, has been the definition of the played, an appearance that has to improve without place to doubts.

Erling Haaland Is the last name with which Joan Laporta explains to carry out his revolution blaugrana. The level of game of the Norwegian forward has impressed to all Europe and would be a big relief for a problem that has been recurrent in the Barça; the fault of goal. Haaland Already has showed in the Borussia Dortmund that him 'fall' the goals of the pocket and that it is a player that can be important in the terrain of game. His physical power, speed and intelligence turn it into the big wish of any team, incluído the Barcelona picture.

In spite of this, his signing is not so simple. Has agreement with the 'negriamarillos' and will be very difficult that abandon the Signal Iduna Park this summer by a lower figure to 150 million euros, a mount that, obviously, the FC Barcelona is not in conditions to assume by the delicate economic crisis by which crosses the club. In this point, the friendship between Laporta and the agent of Haaland, Mino Raiola, will be key to achieve an agreement.

The 'sacrificed' of the changing room

The FC Barcelona will have to do box if it wants to go out to the market and will have to put up for sale to several players if they want to fund the signing of Erling Haaland, in addition to covering the wages of players that can land in the City Condal gratuitamente (like Eric García or Memphis Depay), at the same time to ensure of not receiving a sanction of the UEFA by Fair Play Financial.

In this line, there are several players whose exert does not have 'convinced' to Joan Laporta and could find in the ramp of exit of the Camp Nou of face to the window of transfers of this summer. Some of the names that could give him big economic profits to the Barça are the one of Antoine Griezmann, Martin Braithwaite, Miralem Pjanic or Philippe Coutinho that, added to the possible exits of Junior Firpo or Samuel Umtiti, would allow to the blaugrana relieve financially.
