Team planning for next season
With the season about to end, Barça’s technical team is already working to face an ambitious summer, with the aim of improving several positions and competing in both La Liga and the Champions League. This season has not been as successful as expected, and now they are looking to strengthen the team to achieve more satisfactory results. However, the delicate financial situation of the club must also be taken into account in this planning.
Possible sales to lighten the wage bill
Before considering big signings, Barça will have to manage several important sales to reduce the wage bill and obtain significant income. This will make it possible to have the necessary resources for the new additions. It is expected that players who do not fit into the future plans of coach Xavi Hernández, as well as others with a good market in Europe, can be transferred. According to information collected by SPORT newspaper, four footballers, including Frenkie de Jong, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Ronald Araujo, could be the subject of major sales, with offers that could reach 100 million euros.
Possible signings to strengthen the team
With the income obtained from the possible sales, the technical secretariat of Barça has as a priority to strengthen two key positions: the defensive pivot and the left wing. Joshua Kimmich and Nico Williams, world-class players who could bring a lot to the team, have been identified as prime targets. Thus, the technical team is already clear on the areas in which it will focus to strengthen the team in the coming weeks, with the sale of Ronald Araujo as one of the highest priorities.
