Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany are working on planning the staff of the FC Barcelona for next season with the aim of giving Xavi Hernández more resources to enhance his idea of the game and be able to improve the financial situation of the club, leaving players who do not fit into the short- and long-term plans of the current coaching staff.
The president of the Blaugrana team aims to make four signings in the next market, taking into account that more can come if interesting options appear in the summer, both at a sporting and economic level. And the plan is more than clear: “The idea is to reinforce the attack, the midfield and the defense.”
The 4 signings that Laporta wants to make for the summer
The FC Barcelona has practically closed the signings of Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie, who will arrive as free agents in the summer. Another name that sounds strong to arrive is that of Noussair Mazraoui, who also ends his contract in the summer and has no intention of renewing. They made an important offer for the Moroccan, but have not yet made a concrete decision about his future.
It would only be necessary to reinforce the attack, taking into account that Ousmane Dembélé will leave the club as a free agent and that the option of Erling Braut Haaland is increasingly complicated, according to Laporta himself in an interview. “I am not going to talk about specific players, but I can tell you that we will not make any agreement that puts the club at risk”, considering that the Norwegian requires a very high investment to get him out of Germany.
the missing name
Everything seems to indicate that they will go for a different attacker with several important names on the table: Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, Antony and Raphinha, but only one of them would arrive. Unless the club can close more big sales and have more money to invest.
The plan is to make four signings and it would only be necessary to close two for Joan Laporta to fulfill his promise. Who will be the fourth signing that Barcelona wants to close in the coming months?
