Barça has finally reached the 1:1 in Financial Fair Play, which means the club can now make signings normally. With this freedom, Barça can begin to plan its market moves with greater liberty. However, despite this progress, Barcelona still needs to sell players to carry out the desired signings.
Although the club can now operate in the market, the rule states that you must sell for every player you bring in. Therefore, to make quality additions, especially in key positions like the attack, Barça will have to free up space in the wage bill. Thus, the sale of some players will be inevitable, and the club is already working on various options to make this process effective.
Barça Wants an Ambitious Summer Market
With the winter market's permission, Barça's goal is to have a very ambitious summer transfer market. Joan Laporta is clear that Barça must reclaim its place among the best teams in Europe, and for this, he is willing to make a statement. In this regard, one of the key points in his strategy is to strengthen the forward line, one of the club's most urgent positions.
Despite having Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal, Barça needs more depth and quality in its attack to compete. The sports management knows that the forward line must be a priority for the summer market. The idea is to have an additional option for the attack, especially if Barcelona seeks to rotate effectively and give rest to Lewandowski, Raphinha, or Lamine.
The Great Players Barça is Eyeing
Within the transfer plans, Barça is focusing on strengthening the position of winger or center forward. Regarding the winger position, the favorites are Rafael Leão and Nico Williams. Both players would bring speed, dribbling, and goal-scoring ability, making them very attractive options for Barcelona.
On the other hand, Barça is also focusing on strengthening the center forward position, and the favorite for that position is Alexander Isak. Isak has shown great performance this season in the Premier League and is seen as a player who could be a key piece in Barça's attack. His versatility, goal-scoring ability, and youth make him an ideal option for the team's future.
Barça Will Receive 27 Million from a Good Sale
To start financing these much-desired signings, Barça could take an important step with the sale of Vitor Roque, who is currently on loan at Betis. According to 'El Nacional.cat', the club is negotiating with Palmeiras for the definitive sale of Vitor Roque for a figure close to 27 million euros.
This sale would be a key step for Barça to finance summer signings, as it will allow freeing up space in the team and bringing in revenue. Roque, despite his potential, doesn't seem to have an immediate place at Barça, so his sale could be one of the first strategic decisions to strengthen the team.
