Season planning
Futbol Club Barcelona faces a summer of reconstruction after taking the decision to dispense with the services of Xavi Hernández as coach and bet on the arrival of Hansi Flick. With this change, the technical secretariat led by Deco now has the task of starring in an ambitious signing market, with several entries and exits. Although no move has yet been officially announced, this June is expected to be a key month to start shaping next season’s squad.
The situation of Sergi Roberto
One of the players who seems to have his future in doubt is captain Sergi Roberto. With the arrival of Hansi Flick, the German coach has indicated that the midfielder’s continuity is not a priority. This has made Sergi Roberto start to consider other options and to explore the signing market. However, the player wants to wait until the last moment to see if there is any possibility of continuing at Barça for at least one more season.
The need to reduce the wage bill
One of the reasons why Barça has to make decisions about departures is the complicated financial situation of the club. It is vital to get rid of some players to lighten the wage bill and comply with the rules of financial fair play. This will allow the club to register new footballers without problems. Therefore, the technical secretariat will have to look for options to sell or transfer players who are not part of the coach’s plans.
The alternatives for Sergi Roberto
The specific offers that Sergi Roberto has on the table are not yet known, but speculation has already begun with the possibility that he could sign for Girona. However, nothing is final and the player is willing to wait until the last moment to make a decision about his future.
The future of Barça
With the reconstruction of the team and the decisions that have to be made in the signing market, Futbol Club Barcelona is looking to compete again both nationally and internationally. The goal is to be able to fight to win the League and the Champions League next season. With a summer full of changes and uncertainties, Barça hopes to be able to build a strong and competitive team to achieve its goals.
