Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona prepares for a summer 'moved' in which they will have to be very intelligent, mainly because the economic situation is not the ideal and are not in conditions to do a big investment to reinforce the staff of face to the season that comes. They are in a phase of analysis and score, waiting for that define who will be in the bench in front of the possible exit of Xavi Hernández. The sportive direction will not take decisions before 'resolve' this subject.

However, they are conscious that they have to have a base of which 'start' the research of the players that will complete the payroll in the 2024/2025. From the club have revealed that will have a new politics of signings and will take intelligent decisions to avoid 'desaprovechar' the money. The Barça wants players on a long-term basis and avoid the 'patches' of all the life. Especially in the position of the pivote, that will be the most important during this summer.

The two 'groups' of the Barça to go out to the market

According to an information of 'Sportive World', to day of today are six the players that are in the diary of the sportive direction like possible candidates to reinforce the mediocentro. The aim is that it was one 'reference' and can fit in the style of game, but also are conscious that, in front of the delicate economic situation by which cross, will not be many the alternatives that adjust to the reality of the club. Deco Will have to 'graduate' like negotiator and find the best financial options and will not be a simple task.

It is thus that, in the Barcelona dispatches have divided the list of candidates in two groups: The players that finish agreement this year and could arrive free to the City Condal and the most contributed in the market, those that result like a 'dream' and that they will be complicated to achieve. In the first are Jorginho (Arsenal) and Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City), those who are in the last months of his agreement with his respective clubs. The international with Italy is one of the footballers that have been linked with the culés from does a long time. In the Barça consider that it could fit in the team, but goes in at stake the fact that it is being important in London and that it can renew the agreement. Also it will have offers on the table.

Another player is is Ndidi, although the interest has gone diminishing in the last months. It is being one of the most important players of the Leicester City in the second English division and everything seems to indicate to that will go out this summer. Several clubs will be attentive to him, like the Juventus and the competition will be big. It is a player that, by profile, has a lot of possibilities to fit in the club and that it can be a big bet, especially because is 27 years old and has all a career by in front.

The pivote that would suppose an investment

In the second group are the more 'complicated', but that they can be a real option for the Catalans if 'solve' some economic folders. In this section are Joshua Kimmich (Bayern), Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad), Aleix García (Girona) or Amadou Onana (Everton). They are traspasos that would require an investment. The most accessible, without place to doubts, would be the midfield player of the picture gerundense because has a clause of 14 or 15 million euros. The problem is that no all in the club are safe that it was the ideal candidate.

If there is consensus with players like Zubimendi or Kimmich, those who already appeared like alternatives during the market of past signings. The problem is that both have agreement in force and his price of traspaso round the 60 million euros, as minimum. In the case of the Teutonic, are many the possibilities that it abandon Munich by the last 'encontronazos' with the club. Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and others already have interested in him.

With Zubimendi, the big dream of Xavi Hernández, the situation is much more complicated because the player has the intention to be still in the Real Sociedad ysu clause, of 60 'kilos', has turned it into a traspaso difficult. The technical body values it positively for being a player very resembled Sergio Busquets, but in the sportive direction would want a more physical profile like the one of Amadou Onana (Everton).

The case of Onana, complicated

The player of 22 years is the big favourite of Deco Souza and company. Has agreement with the Everton until the summer of 2027, but hardly remain in front of the interest that has woken up in this season. From England have glided that his traspaso will be valued in more than 50 million euros. As it has informed , the sportive director culé moved to the 'toffees' that only could pay 40 'kilos'.
