Barça is building a young and exciting project. Players like Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, or Alejandro Balde represent the heart of a new generation that has already started to leave its mark on the first team. Their performance has been key this season, which leaves many reasons to believe in a new golden era.
With them as pillars, Barça ensures a competitive foundation for many years, something vital in a context where the club needs both sporting and financial sustainability.
Strengthen the talent with young signings
To boost this young and ambitious squad, Barça has already started to make moves in the market. The signing of Joan García has already been officially announced. At just 24 years old, Joan arrives as a future bet for the goal, with technical qualities and character to compete.
Deco already plans the future: objective 2026
But Deco's work isn't limited to the present. According to what El Nacional has revealed, the sporting director already has a roadmap designed for the 2026 transfer market. Knowing that some key players like Lewandowski could finish their cycle at the club, Deco wants to get ahead.
This strategic plan includes Julián Álvarez. The Argentine forward is the chosen one to lead the blaugrana attack in the future. His profile fits perfectly with Barça's style: mobility, pressing, ability to link up, and scoring.
Julián Álvarez and Konaté: the targets for the transition
The idea is that Julián Álvarez will be Lewandowski's natural replacement, who will finish his contract in 2026. The Pole has been an attacking reference, but his age forces the club to consider alternatives.
In addition, the club is seriously considering signing Ibrahima Konaté, Liverpool's center-back, who also finishes his contract in 2026. Barça sees him as a market opportunity to strengthen its defense with a physical and powerful profile, without the need to pay a transfer fee.
