After several seasons of economic restrictions, Barça has finally achieved the desired 1:1 rule of Financial Fair Play, allowing it to operate in the transfer market without limitations. This achievement is a significant milestone, as Barça will be able to sign players with more freedom.
Additionally, the club has reached a multi-million dollar agreement with Nike, which represents a crucial income to strengthen the club's economy and increase its investment capacity. With these advancements, Joan Laporta has in mind to conduct a very ambitious transfer market next summer.
Laporta Looks to the Elections
Barça's president knows that the best way to consolidate his position among the members and the culé fans is through a major move in the market. Laporta has the 2026 elections in mind and knows that a summer of world-class signings will be key to ensuring his continued leadership of the club.
Laporta has been under intense scrutiny since his return to office in 2021, but now he has the opportunity to make it clear that his management has restored financial stability. Meanwhile, he has returned Barça to the global elite.
Barça Dreams of Great Players
Barça dreams of making major signings this summer, where the club's priority is to strengthen the winger and center forward positions. For the winger, Rafa Leão and Nico Williams are the names that generate the most consensus. Both players, with their speed and dribbling characteristics, would fit perfectly with the needs of a Barça seeking more competitiveness and freshness in the culé attack.
Additionally, Barça is also looking to strengthen the forward line with a reliable center forward. In this regard, the names that are most strongly mentioned are Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres. Both players have a great ability to score goals and make a difference, so they could become great replacements for Robert Lewandowski.
The Signing Recommended by Pep Guardiola
Additionally, despite the club having its priorities clear, Barça doesn't rule out taking advantage of market opportunities that may arise. In this sense, the name of Joshua Kimmich has resurfaced. According to the portal "Fichajes.net," Pep Guardiola has reportedly recommended Barça to sign the German midfielder, who would arrive for free.
Kimmich is one of the best midfielders in the world, and his arrival at Barça would be a significant impact both sportingly and media-wise. Additionally, it would represent a unique opportunity to strengthen the midfield, a key area in Flick's scheme.
