There are two quite difficult realities to combine in the FC Barcelona: the need to reinforce with signings, on the one hand, and the delicate economic crisis by which crosses the club, that does not allow big movements. They are two points that leave to the Barcelona entity in a dangerous situation that comes leaving consequences season after season and that now has arrived to his worst moment. The team has left to react and remained without just solutions when 'play' the life of face to the classification to the next Champions League and Supercopa of Spain.
Big part of the staff has remained distinguished and are more the doubts that the certainties that generates to day of today the team directed by Xavi Hernández. The feeling, further of the green shoots with the more youngsters (Pedri, Gavi or Araújo) is that it is paramount that the team reinforce of face to the next season, with radical changes and players that can give back to the Barça to the elite, a task that will be more than complicated because the economic situation of the Catalans does not do more than worsening.
They will be many the manoeuvres, malabares and, anyway, miracles, those that tendran that do Mateu Alemany and company during the market of signings veraniego, because the needs are maximum and has remained clear that the movements in the winter were not sufficient. This will require, first, that the Barça do a deep cleaning of changing room and achieve sales that generate plusvalías; a situation that a priori will be quite delicate and difficult to complete, especially because the club will follow sticking to the rule '1 to 4' to be able to inscribe to footballers, for exceeding his limit salarial.
The panorama is extremely complicated, but it will be necessary to achieve formulas to achieve the aims and carry to the Camp Nou to signings that are able to resurrect to a Barça that has remained without pulse in the more key and important moment of the season. 'SPORT', in any case, has informed that the blaugrana expect to reinforce until seven positions in this summer. We review to continuation the possibilities of the culés, line by line:
Goal: necessary Spare for Ter Stegen
Marc-André ter Stegen is signing a very good end of season and has recovered, in some measure, the confidence under the three sticks of the Barça. Nevertheless, it results vital that can have a spare of quality in the bench. Todo Seems to indicate to that Net Walled will abandon the Barcelona picture to final of season, by will be necessary it 'fish' a new guardameta.
It foresees that the chosen was Iñaki Crag, the one who is at present yielded in the Galatasaray to the end of season. It will return in the summer and the sportive direction wait that was the second goalkeeper, although they save the option to achieve a put 'low cost' in the summer. In any case, the formed in The Masia, if it returns, will be to add minutes with the first team.
Defence: essential Movements
It results impressive as, if there is 'overbooking' in the Barcelona defence, always remain short. It will be key an exhaustive cleaning in the changing room and that decide who will go out. Now there are six head offices: Piqué, Eric Garcia, Araujo, Lenglet, Umtiti and Mingueza and foresees that the last three will abandon the club, but will arrive one more: Andreas Christensen, like free agent, from Chelsea. There is agreement 'closed' and the Danish will reinforce the saga of the Catalans.
The big problem will be in the sides, where the situation is dramatic. The intention of the Barcelona directors is that they arrive two players: one for the left-handed band (where only is Jordi Alba available in front of a 'marginado' Balde) and another for the right-handed side, with the doubts of Alves and Dest. César Azpilicueta would be the big elected, but is the subject of his unilateral renewal with Chelsea. For the left, sound Javi Galán (Celtic of Vigo), Alex Telles (Manchester United), Grimaldo (Benfica), Tagliafico (Ajax) and Álex Moreno (Betis).
Midfield: An only novelty
The centre of the field is, after the forward, the most populated sector in the Barça and where the things seem to be more controlled. The current staff has Busquets, Gavi, Pedri, Nico and Frenkie of Jong and the club would look for him an exit to Riqui Puig, although it seems complicated. Xavi has asked to a footballer more and Franck Kessié has been the big elected.
It will arrive to the Camp Nou from the AC Milan like free agent and will earn a wage of around six million euros. The contacts initiated to principle of year and the agreement seems totally enclosed, to fault that it arrive the summer to be announced by both parts.
Forward: Incógnitas and doubts
To Xavi Hernández him sobran pieces in the forward and even like this is missing him the goal. It will be paramount that the club achieve to give exit to a few footballers (and waiting for what happen with the yielded) to be able to centre in new incorporations. In the attack could be two signings waiting for what happen with the exits, but from the dispatches of the Camp Nou have something clear: they want to a 'killer' in the area under any condition.
Robert Lewandowski seems to be the big elected of the culés, but the Bayern of Munich will not be able to eases of face to a negotiation (in case that it do not renew) and the Catalans have remained without plan B. Likewise, also it has sounded with strength the traspaso of Raphinha, with the one who the Barça has negotiated through Deco, his representative. The operation depends, to a large extent of the permanence or no of the Leeds United in the Premier League.
