Revisions in the FC Barcelona template
With the horizon of the 2025-2026 season in sight, FC Barcelona is immersed in a process of revaluation and planning of its workforce. Coach Hansi Flick has expressed the need to strengthen various key positions, including an end to replace Raphinha and a side that can give rest to Jules Koundé.
Setting decisions: a new power station at the point of view
In this context, the sports director DECO has been exploring options in the signing market, focusing on possible defensive additions. Two of his eyes have been set in Jonathan Tah, captain of Bayer Leverkusen, and Dean Hujsen, a young central one who stood out at Juventus.
Jonathan Tah: Experience and Leadership
TAH, which ends his contract in June 2025, is presented as an attractive option for his experience and leadership capacity. However, its incorporation will not be as simple as it seemed initially.
Dean Huijsen: A Jove promise
On the other hand, today, at the age of 19, he has shown his potential for Juventus. However, his transfer could involve a significant cost, with the Italian club waiting for around € 25 million.
Ronald Araújo’s new contract: an unexpected turn
The recent renewal of Ronald Araújo until 2031 has complicated the situation for Deco and Flick. Araújo’s continuity has raised doubts in TAH, which could see its increased competition in central defense.
Impact on signing plans
With Araújo assured, the urgency of signing a new power station has faded, forcing the team to reconsider their priorities and options in the signing market.
Reorientation of signing strategy
In the face of the obstacles presented by the Central Defense, FC Barcelona could redirect its efforts to other more needy positions. The search for an end that complements Raphinha and Lewandowski is still a priority, as well as the need for a side that can alleviate the Koundé load.
A new age for Barça
FC Barcelona’s planning for the next season is facing new challenges and realities. With changes in the squad, Deco and Hansi Flick will have to adapt their strategies in order to strengthen the team and face the 2025-2026 season with guarantees.
