Transfers, departures, mentality... The keys for Barça to transcend in Europe

For Xavi Hernández, the season 2022/23 can leave fantastic registers to domestic level, but in Europe his team, again, remained in debt in spite of the big effort made in summer to reinforce the staff. Once consummated the second consecutive failure in the Europe League, so much the technical body like the managerial have to conclude which appearances have to improve with urgency so that the FC Barcelona recover the European prestige that has banished in the last years, as it no longer suffices with competing.

In this sense, in spite of the eight players fichados for this season (Pablo Tower, Christensen, Kessié, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Koundé, Marcos Alonso and Bellerín), remains clear that the staff needs to reinforce in all his lines to have greater depth in the 2023/24. The defence has been the base of the solid walk in LaLiga (only 7 goals against in 22 parties), but the 4 so many received in the key against the United and the 12 fit in the phase of groups of the Champions give a brutal contrast.

Thus, it remains clear that the club has to fichar, at least, a right side and another central to finish to arm the saga. The managerial fichó to the Mexican youngster Julián Araujo and renewed to Sergi Roberto, but still there is not confidence in the right lane of face to the summer. Of the same way, the retreat of Gerard Hammered and the irregularity of Eric García evidencian generate doubts of face to the summer, with the ex head office of the Manchester City as one of the distinguished to go out to look for another reinforcement.

With the case Sergi, also opens another key debate. The renewal. The 2022/23 has evidenciado the enormous potential of the young base of the staff (Pedri, Gavi, Balde), but also the wear of the 'holy cows'. To the exit of Hammered could add the one of Sergio Busquets, leaving to Jordi Alba and to Roberto signalled. Go out of footballers that already have fulfilled his cycle is fundamental to change him the face to the Barça in the international plane, but Xavi still does not have clear this step.

Signings and exits, the formula for the summer

The urgencies of the club regarding the margin salarial complicate the panorama for the next market, by which is key to sell to be able to fichar. Players like Eric García, Jordi Alba, Pablo Tower, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres could leave good money in box to go to by two or three reinforcements of quality in summer, considering that they will have to be players whose index card adapt to the 'fair play' of LaLiga.

Names like Iñigo Martínez, N'Golo Kanté, Ilkay Gündogan, and Marcus Thuram follow on the table with the inducement to arrive to 'cost zero', a formula that the Barça already applied the year happened for fichar to four of his reinforcements (Christensen, Kessié, Marcos Alonso and Bellerín). Xavi needs 'pulir' his staff and reinforce the confidence in those who have won a place in his XI suspender belt, although it also would be transcendental fichar to somebody of hierarchy (like Bernardo Silva) to give a jump of quality.

To his time, the technician egarense has to work in the mentality of the staff to move the winning mentality in the local plane to Europe. The míster already has very worked his idea. It is question to recover the memory and leave backwards the doubts and the bad memories of the recent past so that the culés can recover the status of European greatness, transcendental besides to go out of the financial crisis that affects to the institution.
