Signings, sales, renewals... The campaign 2024-25 will be the 'graduation' of Deco in the Barça

Anderson Luis of Souza, known like Deco, will confront to a big challenge in the season 2024-25 like sportive director of the FC Barcelona. Although the Portuguese already assumed his functions this year, specifically in the month of August of the 2023, and has been involved in several important decisions of the club during this period, the next campaign will be the first in which it will confront fully to his role like sportive director. It is necessary to remember that in this period assumed the charge with several already set# up subjects by part of Mateu Alemany, the one who went his predecessor in said charge.

In this sense, at first sight, the most important decision that Deco has to confront in a near future is the one to manage all the related with the election of the next trainer of the Barça. Until the day of today, apparently Xavi Hernández has not showed intention to change his posture to abandon the Barcelona cast on 30 June 2024. Once it resolve the subject of the technical director, will arise a series of appearances in which it will evaluate , between other things, the acquisition, sale and cession of players, in function of the needs of the Catalan picture.

Operations prioritarias: Find a pivote 'top' and reinforce the sides

However, although the arrival of the trainer seems to be key to begin to evaluate which movements make and structure the sportive project of the FC Barcelona, exist some movements that seem necessary and that the club already would be tackling. One of them, for example, is the imperiosa need to add a mediocentro defensive to strengthen the medullary zone of face to the next season.

In this stage and considering it a priority, as diverse informative sources, the Barcelonan cast already has a list of names in his radar, standing out Amadou Onana of the Everton, Joshua Kimmich of the Bayern Munich and Martín Zubimendi of the Real Sociedad. These are players very very conceptuados in the City Condal, but the negotiations to incorporate them would be complicated because of the high economic requirements of the owners of his index cards.

Added to this, the picture culé will have to consider how will reinforce his defensive line, especially in the sides. By the moment, seems that the priority is fichar to Joãor Cancel like right side headline and, from here, consider the turn of Julián Araujo of the UD The Palms like the second right-handed side. Besides, no descarta the possibility that Héctor Fort also compete by a place in this position. Regarding the left side, values repescar to Álex Fence in of the Raise to form a pair with Alejandro Balde.

Deco Will have to evaluate the sales to make

Equally, it remains clear that Deco will have a task encomiable to balance the economy of the club. In which sense? Further to look for make transactions 'low cost' purchasing to players of a stellar level, also will have to evaluate different stages regarding the rumoreadas 'important sales' that they could generate significant income for the club. Of course, this supposing that it do not arise a 'crowbar' of last minute. In this context, the main distinguished players, as it informs the newspaper 'SPORT', are Raphinha and Frenkie of Jong, without neglecting options like Jules Koundé and Andreas Christensen. It will avoid at all costs leave go out to Ronald Araújo.

In relation with the drops, the Portuguese also will have to analyse what do with Sergiño Dest in case that the PSV Eindhoven do not exert the clause of compulsory purchase of 10 M€ that have on the American. Aunado To this, another case that requires a prompt resolution is the one of Clément Lenglet. Although it could have a good market because of his current performance in the Aston Villa, his pretences salariales and cost turn it into an active difficult to negotiate and even more complicated to keep in the staff culé.

Try achieve a good left extreme

To close, also exists a case that has to be evaluated regarding the reinforcement of the left extreme. The future of Joãor Félix still is not entirely clear and the negotiations with the Athletic of Madrid do not promise to be at all simple. Since it is not possible to make big investments, the only available option to reinforce this position would be Ferran Torres, unless it consider repescar to Ansu Fati.

East could be the only appearance complicated for Deco regarding the reinforcement of the offensive sector. In the position of leading centre, has three active interesting: Lewandowski, Vitor Roque and Marc Guiu. In the right extreme, has to Lamine Yamal, a name that discerns like a player culé for a lot of years more. It will evaluate if finally it sells or no to Raphinha. All these tasks will be direct responsibility of luso, the one who presages that it can have a summer moved.
