He FC Barcelona It is clear that they need to strengthen their squad for next season and they have already identified four priority positions in which they will seek signings. Although they are still waiting for LaLiga to accept the Viability Plan to be able to make registrations and transfers, the Barça sports leadership has wasted no time and continues to work on the search for players who can make a leap in quality for the team led by Xavi Hernández, as reported Sports world.
The four positions want to strengthen FC Barcelona in summer.
-Midfielder: First of all, the pivot position is considered a priority after the departure of captain Sergio Busquets. Xavi wants to have a top-level player in that position and the list of possible signings includes names like Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich, Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina, Rúben Neves from Wolverhampton and Guido Rodríguez from Betis. .
-Right side: Another position that needs to be strengthened is right-back, where Barcelona have been lacking for years. Although Jules Koundé has played in that position this season, the Frenchman prefers to act as center back and specific reinforcements will be sought. The preferred candidates for the role are Joao Cancelo of Manchester City and Juan Foyth of Villarreal.
-Inside: As for the inside position, despite having talented midfielders, if Xavi Hernández wishes to continue betting on the system with four midfielders, it will be necessary to incorporate another player to complete the squad. Ilkay Gündogan from Manchester City is preferred by Barcelona and could reach zero cost, although his club has improved the renewal offer and could convince him to stay in England.
-Center front: Lastly, up front, despite having Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona considers that they need more offensive power, especially if there are important departures such as Ansu Fati, Raphinha or Ferran Torres. One of the names marked in red is that of Vitor Roque from Athletico Paranaense.
In addition, the return of Leo Messi to Barcelona is a possibility that is still latent, since he would arrive free after finishing his contract with PSG and is pending whether Barcelona can present him with a firm offer, subject to the OK from LaLiga for the Plan of Viability. The incorporation of Yannick Carrasco from Atlético de Madrid has also been agreed, as long as Barcelona bet on signing the Belgian after the sale of Antoine Griezmann to the rojiblancos.
