The FC Barcelona has an important dilemma of face to the next market of signings of summer. The staff has clear deficiencies in several positions that it is necessary to solve. The first and more important is that there is not any pure right side and this course is Jules Koundé the one who more has played here, with Sergi Roberto second and Ronald Araújo in last, doing it alone in parties very distinguished, like the Classical against the Real Madrid. Héctor Bellerín also played here in the first-half of campaign, but did not work and the Barça left him go out in January.
On the other hand, in the lacking forward goal and Robert Lewandowski is the only '9' pure of the plantel. Although the group barcelonista has known to fix them without the Pole when it has not been or when it has not been very fine, a lot of meetings has won them 1-0 and suffering enough. It needs another goleador that can solve or sentence crashes going out of the bench and that sometime can take the witness of Lewy when the age do him go down the level.
The midfield and the defence of the Barça also need reinforcements
Also there are some problems in the centre of the field, so much in the mediocentro as in the interior. Frenkie Of Jong, that seems that at the end it will do career in the Camp Nou like pivote and future successor of Sergio Busquets, has been the solution to the doubts in the place of '5'. However, as half offensive Pedri is too alone and there is not any another midfield player in the able Barcelona to contribute what the Canarian. Neither Gavi, neither Franck Kessié, not even Frenkie, have the qualities for 'command' with balloon and be a link between the midfield and the forward, by what would be necessary fichar another 'jugón' so that the game of the team no resienta so much if the Tenerifean is not in the field.
Besides, it looks for a central left to complete the rotation, since it seems that Eric García is not giving the level expected, and besides there is some possibility that Jordi Alba finish leaving the club if it does not accept a discount salarial. If this occurs, Marcos Alonso would become automatically the acting of Alejandro Balde in the left and would leave to be an option for the side, leaving like this an important gap in the centre of the saga, especially if it does not trust Eric.
However, in spite of all the needs, fichar this summer goes to be complicated by fault of the Fair Play of LaLiga. The Barça does not have margin to tackle any incorporation right now and goes to have to sell to several footballers to attain reinforce. The problem arrives in the moment in which, in addition to this, the entity also has to solve several pending subjects with players of the current staff.
The Barça needs 'armour' to his best 'cracks' youngsters
Alejandro Balde still has to renew, since it finish agreement in 2024, but the months happen and follows without having agreement between the two parts. Jorge Mendes, his agent, has negotiated in several occasions with Joan Laporta, but seems that his requirements follow without being satisfied. It is strictly necessary that the club achieve to close this agreement, since the canterano has 'exploded' this season to turn into the best left-handed side of LaLiga. It is necessary to go up him the wage to have him happy and lengthen his links, since it is an indispensable player for the present and the future of the Barcelona.
The rise of wage of Gavi is another subject prioritario that in theory already was solved, but that a Court has thrown for backwards by fault of the complaint of LaLiga. In theory, the Andalusian has index card of the first team and new wage from January, but recently all has blocked after the resolution of the judge. Therefore, until further orders, the sevillano will go back to the '30', leaving the '6' free, and will leave to win the 3,5 million euros that had agreed, going back to the 100.000 that was winning before. Solve this is an imperative for the Catalans before going to the market.
The same that Gavi is Ronald Araújo, with agreement until 2026 after his renewal in April of 2022. The problem with the Uruguayan is that the improvement of agreement agreed in this enlargement still has not done effective. It goes to do a year of his signature inside some weeks and comments that the central begins to be annoying with the club. Joan Laporta already said in January that this is a priority for him, but has to show it in summer using the money of the that have to inscribe this new deal.
Pedri And Araújo deserve a rise of wage
Although no so urgent, is also the case of Pedri, that renewed does a year and half until 2026. However, right now the wage that signed remains clearly underneath of the that would have to have the one who is easily the most important player of the staff futbolísticamente speaking. It is winning some 4/4,5 'kilos' net, according to the figures that the majority of means aimed in his moment, since in his day comprised that the entity could not pay him more by his delicate economic situation, and accepted this figure like gesture to the FC Barcelona. Nevertheless, the reality is that the time has happened, the performance of the of Tegueste has gone to more, his role is increasingly influential and this wage, if it already was low in his day, now is it a lot of more.
Besides, also it fits to say that Araújo, when they can inscribe his agreement, will find in the same situation that the Canarian, since it accepted to earn practically the same understanding that in this moment no could him give more. It was a statement of intentions, since it refused several much more yielding proposals that arrived him by his dream to triumph in the Camp Nou. In spite of this gesture, this still has not done effective by the problems with the limit salarial of the Barça, whereas the status and the level of the defender does not leave to go to more. It can that it was already the best of the world in his position and 'top 3' in importance in the picture culé, by what pay him 4 millions to the year does not seem the best form to have him happy.
Therefore, in addition to closing the renewal of Balde and can inscribe of official form the agreements of Gavi and Araújo, the group barcelonista has to concern also for offering them sooner that late an improvement of wage so much to the charrúa as to Pedri, that have won it to him on the field. Ronald and the Tenerifean already form part of the vertebral column of the team, the side goes way of this by all what gives in attack, and the sevillano also goes it to be if it keeps growing as up to now. By all this, the best reinforcements would be 'armour them' definitively to all.
More renewals and alternative of market more economic
All this without explaining the 'signing' of Marcos Alonso, that also has to renew, and the more than possible renewal of Busquets. The one of Badia seems that it goes to be followed at least a year more with a substantial discount, but still like this is necessary to do him hollow to the enlargement. By all this, before fichar the Barcelona have to solve these cases, especially the ones of his four 'jewels', since a lot of teams are after them and any has to doubt of the a lot of that values them the club.
Prpers having left clear that these 'blindajes' have to go first, in the Barça trust can do all this and also fichar at least to the wished right side and to the '9'. The big aims for a place and for the another are Juan Foyth and Vitor Roque, but have alternative because the Argentinian would cost between 50 and 60 millions and the Brazilian could cost more than 40.
Although it looks forward to collect sufficient money with the sales to pay two expensive signings, could not being possible. Thus, they contemplate options cheaper that allow to reinforce and ensure the future of all the 'cracks' mentioned. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be the 'covered' for the forward, but no descarta other options 'free' as Roberto Firmino. In defence is speaking of Vanderson for the side and of Iñigo Martínez, that also would arrive free, for the centre.
