FC Barcelona is in the process of searching for Xavi Hernández’s successor while also planning its squad for the 2024-25 season. Deco, the club’s sporting director, stressed in a recent interview how important this moment is to think about the future, as meetings with scouts and financial analyzes have been underway for months.
The focus is on strengthening the key positions identified in the current season. The need for a midfielder with a higher level and physical condition is obvious, as is the lack of a pure left winger, with Lamine Yamal the only option with a stronger dribbling profile.
As for the midfield, progress has been made with the possible inclusion of Aleix García to strengthen the interior position and provide the team with more alternatives. In addition, the signing of a new left-back is being considered, whose level depends on the future of Alejandro Balde.
Weak points must be eliminated
The planning process focuses not only on identifying the team’s current needs, but also on planning for the future and ensuring a competitive workforce. With the departure of Xavi Hernández, the aim is to find a player capable of filling the void left by the legendary midfielder, while addressing other areas that require attention to ensure the team’s competitiveness in next season.
