The summer of 2020 will be key to Barça's future, and its sports planning seems to be adrift. The fans are concerned because it is not known if this suspicion is based on rumours or if it is the pure reality

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona will be between the protagonists of the next market of signings, but for the moment is it more by doubts that by certainties. In the Camp Nou keep his wish to build a team of long route that was able to struggle by titles to short and long term -especially in a Champions League with results too painful-, and that take advantage of the end of the career of a historical footballer like Leo Messi.

Further of the institutional scandals, the worry grows in the City Condal by derives it in the sportive planning. Josep Maria Bartomeu has multiplied in the last months to turn off fires, and ademas to face a restructuring of the Managerial Board, has had to call the attention in several occasions to Éric Abidal, a technical secretary whose path, for the time being, is marked by the altibajos.

The crisis of the coronavirus has increased the uncertainty that reigns in the staff, that seems to have to the half of his on sale stars. The experts still can not speak with total security, but calculates that the impact of the pandemia could reduce the budget of the near of 1.000 million euros to a figure that rondaría the 700-800. In these circumstances, is clear that it will be necessary to adjust the belt, and more when the increasing problem of the mass salarial does that this eat more than 600 'kilos'. All will have to be generous with the cuts.

But although it is evident that it is necessary to take drastic decisions, there are movements that do not finish to understand. The discussion of the technicians on the quality of Nélson Semedo has moved to the dispatches, and after confirming that it would be headline, now sounds like transferible. Arthur has happened to be a talent to desarrolar to another coin of change, something to what has denied repeatedly. The list of bandazos is long, and also affects to other perlas like Marc Cucurella or Abel Ruiz, to which sold desperately, or Jean-Clair Todibo and Emerson, that could follow the same way. In these moments, there is very few that have a future ensured and clearly Barcelona.

The same unsteadiness can apply to the incorporations, without that anybody know if the vaivenes are rumours or the pure reality. The big wishes of the culés are Neymar and Lautaro Martínez but his price and the current situation could turn them into impossible, in spite of that they could contribute interesting solutions. Further of the Brazilian and the Argentinian, little more knows , because it could retouch the goal, expect changes in the medullary and the defence could jump by the airs, but each day sound distinct aims and does not seem to have advances by any.

Or the Barça works very well in the shadow and anybody has detected his management, or the restlessness would have to extend even to the renewals. The latest news comment that the managerial has stopped them, something that was to expect because it is impossible to know cuan wide will be the hole of the coronavirus. The problem is that it is impossible to not to bite the nails when Leo Messi and Marc-André ter Stegen are loomed, because his love to the club is the one who commands but do not go them to be missing offers of maximum level. And as they have left to fall both, there are too many things that are not doing well, and was by his council or for the sake of all, touches to react what before.

The Barça can not give another year

Although the elections could suppose borrón and new account, the Barça can not give the year that remains until 2021. His greater rivals, especially the Real Madrid, are reinforcing for today and for morning, and the Masia and his golden generation have showed that the work offers rewards that can last more than a decade. The tendency in Spain keeps on being more culé that 'merengue', but if revierte will touch to happen another dark period before being able to show the head. After a trail of titles and footballers as never it had seen before, will be difficult to equalise the records, but it is necessary to hammer to try that the future was equal or more ilusionante.
