Barça’s Signing Strategies
The management of FC Barcelona, headed by Joan Laporta, maintains intact its desire to bring high-level players to the club. Despite the obstacles that have presented themselves recently, such as the difficulties in securing Dani Olmo and Nico Williams, the philosophy of signings has not changed. New economic solutions are underway to make these transfers viable with the aim of revitalizing the team.
Challenge in the Departures
The current situation has become complicated for exit operations. Two names have become the most likely candidates to be transferred soon: Vitor Roque and Ferran Torres. Both are at a delicate point, where their continuity at the club could affect the finances and the balance of the squad. Roque, despite being a Deco bet, has not impressed with his performance, while Ferran has also not found his place under the wing of the new coach.
L’Ascens of the Saudi Pro League
Recently, Al-Hilal have emerged as a possible destination for Vitor Roque, offering an attractive amount of €40 million. This offer is a reflection of the growing interest that the Saudi Pro League is fueling among young players like Roque. Barcelona hope the transaction will go through soon, which would help them lighten their wage bill while opening up room for new signings.
Team Renewals: Seasickness in the View
With pressure mounting to adjust the squad, Laporta finds himself in a crucial position to convince Roque and Torres to agree to a change of scenery. Despite his wishes to stay, the president appeals to his understanding: to stay could mean a year of inactivity and no opportunities.
And Expectations Are Different
The future of Ferran Torres is also uncertain, with a revised price of 35 million for a club that needs reinforcements. After several unsuccessful negotiations, the club hopes that a revaluation of the player will inspire interest from other teams, falling into Laporta’s determined net.
