The performance of the players in Spain-Italy
Barça are considering several options to strengthen their squad, especially after the outstanding performance of some players in Spain-Italy. The exceptional performance of the Spanish national team has highlighted the talent of players such as Lamine Yamal, Fabián Ruiz and Marc Cucurella, but it is the name of Nico Williams that has stood out above them all.
The search for a left back
Barça are in search of a left-back, with the winger from Athletic Club being the main target. In addition, the Catalan entity is considering alternatives for this position after the non-renewal of Marcos Alonso and the lack of clear options in the current squad.
Internal alternatives
Before turning to the market, Barça is exploring internal options, such as left-back Álex Valle, who has been loaned to Levante and is now returning to Barça. However, according to recent information, this option seems to have been ruled out for now.
Promotion of talents from the Masia
The club is considering the inclusion of talents from La Masia, such as Héctor Fort, to strengthen the squad. This strategy would not only cover the vacancy of Marcos Alonso, but would also provide a viable economic option and continue the tradition of promoting talents from the own quarry.
Economic considerations
In addition, this strategy could help to reduce the wage bill of the staff, especially if Barça decides to execute the termination clause of Nico Williams. According to Javier Tebas, president of the League, Barça no longer has so many difficulties in signing, but the financial implications of signing decisions will have to be considered.
