Barça is already thinking about the summer transfer market, which will be full of uncertainties due to the question of whether it will be able to operate under the 1:1 Fair Play rule.La Liga doubts one of the operations Laporta made with the VIP seats and there is a possibility that it may not meet the necessary requirements.
This uncertainty could hinder the dreams of bringing in high-level players like Luis Díaz or Nico Williams. Both would be strategic signings to strengthen the attack, but without room in Fair Play, Barça would be forced to rethink its sports planning. The priority would then shift from making major signings to consolidating the current team and making the most of internal resources.
Laporta Wants to Secure the Team
Faced with the possibility of not being able to sign, Barça has focused its efforts on securing the jewels it already has in the squad. In this regard, Pedri, Gavi, and Fermín López have already renewed their contracts.
The next step will be to ensure the permanence of other key players. Lamine Yamal will renew until 2030 when he turns 18, and Jules Koundé and Raphinha are in talks to extend their ties beyond 2027. The goal is clear: to maintain the strong core of the team and create a solid long-term project, without relying too much on the market.
La Masia, the Key to the Project
If Barça ultimately fails to adhere to the 1:1 rule, La Masia will remain the cornerstone of the sports project. Footballers like Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, and Gavi are already key, showing that La Masia continues to be an inexhaustible source of talent.
Trust in the young players is not only a necessity due to economic circumstances but also a bet on the future. Betting on them not only strengthens the club's identity but also offers a very sustainable alternative and a guarantee to compete if signings can't be made in the summer.
Laporta Refuses to Sell One of the Jewels Despite Offers
In this context, Joan Laporta is clear that he doesn't intend to part with this asset. According to 'El Nacional.cat', Fermín López has received numerous offers from the Premier League, but the president doesn't contemplate his sale.
Although financial limitations condition the possibilities in the market, Barça will not sacrifice players like him to make money.
