Barça already has a roadmap for the transfer market for the next season. With Deco at the helm, the club is clear that it needs to strengthen several key positions. The priority is to sign a standout winger who provides depth to the attack, and the main target is Luis Díaz.
Additionally, the club also intends to strengthen the right-back position. Jules Koundé has played everything this season because Flick doesn't count on Héctor Fort and Barça is looking for a replacement. The search for a reliable right-back will be another of Barça's major missions in the summer market.
Barça Works on Sales
To make signings, Barça knows it will need to sell players and reduce the wage bill. The club's financial situation remains precarious, and to comply with La Liga regulations, it will be essential to make some sales.
In this regard, the two players most likely to leave are Ansu Fati and Andreas Christensen. Ansu hasn't managed to recover his best form, and the club believes he can't offer more. Meanwhile, Christensen isn't indispensable due to the large number of center-backs and his contract ends in 2026, so an interesting offer could lead to his departure.
The Club Doesn't Rule Out an Unexpected Departure
Another sale that Barça doesn't rule out is that of Ronald Araujo. Although the Uruguayan renewed his contract in January, his new agreement includes a clause of only 65 million for this summer, a relatively low figure considering his level.
The club values the center-back highly, but if an offer close to that figure is received, they might consider his sale. Araujo is an essential player in Barça's defense, but the club's difficult economic situation forces them to consider all options. If a proposal that satisfies both the player and the management arrives, his departure could be a real possibility.
Three Major Offers and Doubts About His Continuity in the Game
According to "El Nacional," several European clubs have already shown interest in Ronald Araujo. Bayern Munich has been closely following him for some time and considers him an ideal reinforcement for their defense. Juventus has also inquired about his situation, while in the Premier League there is a team, whose name hasn't been disclosed, that would be willing.
If Araujo isn't completely satisfied at Barça by summer, any of these teams could activate his clause and take him without needing to negotiate with the club. The center-back has always shown his commitment to Barça, but if his continuity isn't guaranteed, his departure could become one of the major moves in the transfer market.
