FC Barcelona is in the midst of a whirlwind in the transfer market, and Joan Laporta ‘s plan to strengthen Hansi Flick’s squad is underway. The club’s priority at the moment is clear: to free up salary surplus through the departure of several players who are not part of the German coach’s plans. With the transfer window coming to an end, the next few days will be decisive for the future of the team.
Among the players who could leave Barça are Vitor Roque , Clément Lenglet , Mika Faye and Ilkay Gündogan . All of them are on the list of transferables, and their departures are key for the club to progress in the recruitment of new reinforcements. Vitor Roque has not managed to convince Flick and is in negotiations with several clubs, both in LaLiga and in Europe . For his part, Lenglet , after a lackluster time in the Premier League , also does not count for Barça and his future seems to be in Atlético de Madrid .
Mika Faye , a promising youngster but still without a place in the first team, could be transferred to France , while Gündogan , who arrived at Barça with great expectations, has not managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter. His erratic performance and competition in midfield have put him on the exit door, and his future could be in Turkey or Saudi Arabia .
With these departures, Deco and Joan Laporta would have the necessary salary margin to launch themselves on the market and meet Flick ‘s demands . The plan is clear: make three signings that strengthen key positions in the team and raise Barça ‘s competitive level .
The first target is a winger, and the favorite is Joao Cancelo . The Portuguese was already on loan at the club last season. Negotiations with Manchester City are advanced, and everything points to Cancelo returning to Camp Nou on loan, with an option to buy next summer.
The second reinforcement will be a top left winger. Barça are looking for a player who can offer overflow, speed and goals, and among the names being studied are Liverpool ‘s Luis Díaz , Bayern Munich ‘s Kingsley Coman , Juventus ‘ Federico Chiesa and Napoli ‘s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia . The signing of Nico Williams , which was a priority option, has become complicated and is considered almost impossible at the moment.
Finally, the third signing would be a defensive midfielder. Flick wants a player who can give balance to the team, similar to the style of N’Golo Kanté . Deco has several names on its list, and the intention is to close this addition before the end of the market.
With time running out, Joan Laporta and Deco are working against the clock to complete the signing plan that will allow Barça to face the season with guarantees. The fans eagerly await the arrival of these new stars who could make the difference in a team that aspires to everything under the direction of Hansi Flick . The market is on, and the next few hours will be decisive to know the final destination of these movements.
