Despite the poor run of results experienced in the final stretch of 2024, those in the offices of FC Barcelona are far from despairing. The club believes that the situation is different from last season as the feelings regarding the game are much better, which is why they have decided that, unless there is a serious injury in the coming weeks, they will not enter the market in January.
Both Hansi Flick and the sports management are clear that the winter window does not offer any piece that could give a quality boost to the squad. For this reason, Deco has focused all his efforts on finalizing the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, being this the only move expected next month.
Regarding departures, at Can Barça, they do not intend to part with any player unless an irresistible offer comes in for a player who is not getting minutes. Although the names of Eric García and Ansu Fati appear as strong candidates to leave the club in January, according to 'SPORT', the club currently has no proposals for their services.
The summer could be busy at Barça
On the other hand, the summer transfer market is expected to be busy in the Catalan capital. The priorities of the blue and garnet institution were to sign two full-backs and a 'top' left winger, but in recent weeks, there has been discussion about the possibility of incorporating a physical midfielder and advancing the signing of a replacement for Robert Lewandowski in the center of the attack.
The Polish player is the only reliable player in this position and both Flick and Deco do not trust the available replacements in the squad. His drop in performance has raised alarms at the club, and although his renewal is not in danger, the culés could accelerate the arrival of his replacement if finances allow. His level for the remainder of the season will dictate the next steps, but names like Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyökeres will continue to hover over Spotify Camp Nou.
