Barcelona remains active in the transfer market after closing several key deals. With the squad still to be defined, the sporting management led by Deco doesn't rule out new signings to strengthen the team in specific areas of the field. After several weeks of work, the club has managed to unlock some moves, but it is aware that the elite demands a leap in quality to compete for all the titles.
Hansi Flick, in his second season as the blaugrana coach, has already conveyed his requests to the offices and the club is expected to work in the coming weeks to meet them. The roadmap is clear: bring in profiles that complement the current core and, at the same time, facilitate the departure of footballers who aren't in the German coach's plans.
Deco values the arrival of a new signing
One of the names that has gained traction in recent meetings is Denzel Dumfries. The Inter Milan full-back appears as a strategic option to strengthen the right flank, an area where Flick believes the team needs a more physical and dynamic profile. Dumfries's possible arrival would allow Eric García to return to the center of the defense and offer new attacking alternatives on the wing.
The Netherlands international stands out for his power, speed, and ability to join the attack, qualities that have convinced the coaching staff. In addition, his contractual situation is attractive: he has a release clause of €25 million ($25 million) valid until mid-July. Barcelona considers this amount manageable if a sale is finalized in the coming days.
Operation with an eye on the market
Although a formal offer hasn't yet been made to Inter, the sporting management is already analyzing the feasibility of the operation. Deco doesn't want to rush, but he shares Flick's view on the need to strengthen the defense to give the team greater balance. After resolving the goalkeeping position with Joan García and setting their sights on the attack, the priority now is to shore up the full-backs.
The final decision will depend on the club's ability to generate income through transfers or financial formulas that allow new players to be registered. If the financial requirements are met, Dumfries could become the next major blaugrana reinforcement to face a demanding season in La Liga and the Champions League.
