Although the season still has all the titles at stake, Joan Laporta already has the next summer transfer market very much in mind. The president considers that the summer window will be crucial for the club's immediate future. After years of economic difficulties and not being able to compete at the level of the major European clubs, Laporta knows that it's time to make a statement.
With the presidential elections in 2026, the Barça president wants Barça to present itself with a competitive team that allows him to approach the polls with strong support. With this goal in mind, Joan Laporta is determined to do everything possible to ensure that Barça regains its place among the best clubs in the world. The talks about reinforcements for the next market have already begun, and the commitment to building a stronger team is clear.
Optimism at Can Barça with the best economic situation
Laporta, moreover, is increasingly optimistic about the club's economic situation. Recently, the president managed to sign the contract with Nike, which has given the club's coffers a breather and improved the team's financial situation. Additionally, Barça has complied with the 1:1 Fair Play rule, an essential step to be able to make significant signings in the summer.
On a sporting level, the arrival of Hansi Flick as coach has revitalized the team, which, with an exciting squad, has proven to be very competitive in all competitions. The team has already won the Spanish Super Cup title by defeating Real Madrid and this optimism grows more every day.
Viktor Gyökeres's signing gains momentum; Alexander Isak, very complicated
One of Laporta's priorities is to strengthen the attack with a world-class center forward. The president knows that, for the future, he needs a reliable goal scorer who can make a difference in key moments. In this regard, the name gaining the most traction is Viktor Gyökeres.
Gyökeres has impressed all of Europe this season with his relentless goal-scoring ability. The president also has Alexander Isak in mind, who is also considered an exciting option. However, the operation for Alexander Isak seems more complicated because the English club is not willing to negotiate for less than more than 100 million.
The possible signing of the Swede leaves a statement
To all this is added that, with the possible arrival of one of these two forwards, Robert Lewandowski's situation at Barça would become much more complicated. The Pole, who remains a key piece for the team this season, could see his prominence diminish.
Robert Lewandowski is not eternal, and with the arrival of a goal scorer, his future at Barça could be in question. Although the Polish forward will continue to be an important player this season with Hansi Flick, the competition for the center forward position will be fierce next year.
