'TOP' SIGNINGS THAT BARÇA MUST TRY
The three signings that Barça must make to be able to dominate in Europe again
FC Barcelona has an ideal player base to start competing in Europe from next season, but it still needs to reinforce several positions to take the next step. In 'FCBN' we propose three 'signable' names that would allow Barça to aspire to dominate football for the next ten years
The FC Barcelona stepped of giant in his process of turn to the súper European elite with his market of signings veraniego of 2022. The club had clear that could not allow repeat a 'year in white' as the past course and went with everything. Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany did a big work reinforcing many of the positions that in them them blaugrana had deficiencies.
It arrived Robert Lewandowski to be the leader of the leading culé and mark the figure of goals that went with Leo Messi; also fichó to Jules Koundé, one of the best head offices of the world, that arrived to put end beside Ronald Araújo to the problems backwards of the team; Andreas Christensen was the another defender that arrived, in this case free, and has resulted to be one of the big disclosures of the campaign; also it landed Raphinha to give him competition to Ousmane Dembélé and contribute greater speed, goal and quality to the right band; and finally also they arrived Franck Kessié, that little by little goes doing notice, Marcos Alonso and Pablo Tower.
To exception of Tower, that grieve has played and that keeps on being a project more to future, all the signings have surrendered well in elder or lower measure, and have been important so that the Barça was to a step to win LaLiga, already have won the Supercopa of Spain and was very near to arrive to the final of Glass of Rey. However, the fiascos in the Champions League first and the Europe League afterwards follow here and suits to not to forget of them.
It noticed improvement regarding previous courses and in this occasion the FC Barcelona himself competed of you to you in almost all the parties 'big' contested in both competitions. But in spite of this, is indisputable that fell in phase of groups of Champions by second consecutive year and also lost at first in Europe League in front of a Manchester United that knew to play better his letters.
The Barça follows needing signings
It has remained clear therefore that the picture barcelonista needs to give still a step more than the that gave the past summer to compete against the best. This does giving him more time to Xavi so that it follow improving to the Barça like team and having patience with the more youngsters, but also apuntalando in this next market veraniego or to more take in the one of 2024 the positions that follow flojeando.
In these moments, the place that with a lot of difference has less level in the staff is the one of right side. Héctor Bellerín, that arrived yielded in summer, did not work and went in January; Sergi Roberto, although it gives an acceptable performance in the majority of occasions, is not the solution and for Xavi is more midfield player that carrilero; and finally, Jules Koundé is a good 'patch', but notices that it is not comfortable here and that goes down a lot his level regarding the centre of the saga.
On the other hand, in the forward also there is a hole, since Lewandowski does not have acting and clearly is missing goal from the bench. Besides, the Pole goes to fulfil already 35 years and goes to have that go thinking in looking for him a relief for when it go down his performance. The ideal would be to incorporate to a young forward, with projection, that accept the suplencia in the short term and to the that see him qualified to assume the titularity arrived the moment.
Doubts sobere the signing that more suits for the midfield of the Barça
Finally, in the centre of the field also there are some lacks. On the one hand, if Sergio Busquets does not follow could do fault fichar a mediocentro acting, taking into account that Frenkie of Jong would be the headline. Nevertheless, the main problem of the Barcelona here resides in the interior, where alone Pedri has the profile 'jugón' that so much does him fault to this team to work. Thus, reinforce with a half like this would be even more important that do it with a pivote.
The big enemy of the Barça to fulfil with all this, like the past summer, will go back to be the Fair Play of LaLiga. Right now the culés are 'tied hand and foot' and only will be able to fichar if they sell to several active and attain discounts of wage of which more win. Nevertheless, that is the work of Alemany and Laporta, and in 'FCBN' only want to leave clear what three footballers could approach to the FC Barcelona to go back to reign in Europe.
Juan Foyth, the side that needs the Barça
The Argentinian is not a world-wide star and anybody considers him one of the five or six better right sides of the world, but from his low profile is a spectacular defence. Reconverted to the band after beginning of head office and play even of pivote, Foyth is above all else a defender of elite. It is very difficult to surpass him in the one against one, closes well the spaces, goes well of head, is fast in career and has a good started to hold the changes of rhythm of the rival extreme. Resumiendo, has all what has to have a big carrilero in the defensive and therefore it would be the perfect piece for a Barcelona group that is used to to have problems in this side.
In attack already is another sing and any culé has to expect see to Alejandro Balde in right. The ex of the Tottenham does not have as they can have a lot of sides a clear offensive vocation, but chooses very well his rises and can generate danger when it arrives from backwards. The one of The Silver yes has instead a good technical and does not burn him the ball when it arrives him. It can combine upwards, it takes out well the spherical from backwards and can go out in driving if it is the necessary.
Taking into account that Balde is a puñal that goes up one and again by the left, this Barça needs to somebody solider and stable in the another side. Foyth Is this player and with 25 years has still by in front those that can be the best seasons of his career. The Villarreal will not put easy his exit, as it could not be of another way by his level, but the 50 or 60 millions that can cost will finish going out cheap by the brutal 'subidón' that will give the defensive line. A Foyth/Koundé/Araújo/Balde, with Christensen expecting turn, could be the best defence of Europe and would approach much more all the titles.
Vitor Roque, a '9' of present and future
The Brazilian is probably the forward with more future of Sudamérica beside the madridista Endrick. But difference of the signing of the Real Madrid, that by the way carries quite a lot of weeks giving a very poor level, the one of the Athletico Paranaense has already 18 years and can arrive to Europe this same summer. A lot of 'big' have asked after he and go to 'bid' by his signing, but the attacker has left clear in several occasions that prioritises to play in the Camp Nou.
In the Barça carry months working actively for ficharle and seems that it is the '9' chosen by all. The only but is his price, that could arrive to the 40 'kilos', enciphers that from the City Condal want to recess by his problems with the Fair Play. Nevertheless, it seems that it goes to finish paying what do lacking, since the 'jewel' of Mines Gerais fulfils with all the requirements mentioned previously and futbolísticamente is perfect for the team that is creating Xavi.
With Vitor the barcelonistas ficharían to a mobile forward, powerful, with good technical and with ease for the rematand. Still it is very young and has to improve in a lot of things, but his prime matter is excellent and if all goes normal can finish being a tip 'top'. For the next campaign and can that for the following would contribute the goal that does fault going out of the bench and would serve to give him rest to Lewy so that it arrive to 100% to the most important parties. To half term, if all goes normal, will be the next '9' headline of the Barcelona. A necessary reinforcement that would give solutions and alternative that they can be vital to be able to win some Champions.
Florian Wirtz, the 'magician' to happen to the following level
It is the most complicated signing of the the three commented with a lot of difference, but also is the one who more differences would mark in case to do reality. The German is one of the greater young talents of the world and to his 19 years is allocated to be 'top 3' of offensive midfield players during a lot of years. An unlucky break of ligaments left him several months 'KO', but recovered in January of this 2023 and has not taken in going back to his usual level pre-injury.
It is technically 'delicious', has a big vision of game, a good change of rhythm that allows him break lines in driving, holds very well the balloon when him presionan, is intelligent to choose when play to one or two touch and when expect... In summary, is very good and goes to be still better. Thus, andl Barcelona has to explore all the possible roads to ensure his signing, if it can not be for this summer, that was for the one of 2024.
The Bayer Leverkusen goes to ask more than 100 million euros to any one that want to carry to Wirtz, by what aims to impossible mission be able to incorporate him now, taking into account that the side and the forward are more prioritarios that the interior. However, it is necessary to take into account that joint to Pedri with the germano would involve automatically have to two of the probably three better offensive means of the next decade.
Florian could be the footballer that allowed that the Barcelona group happened to another dimension in the futbolístico and could, no longer only win and compete, but also dominate in Europe. Adding him to what already there is to him, to Vitor Roque and to Foyth, the FC Barcelona would be one of the three favourites in the Champions 23/24 and especially would be favoritísimo of face to the next years, when the German, the Brazilian and the Gavi, Balde, Pedri or, who know if Ansu, have reached his potential maximum.
