Barcelona Seeks Reinforcements for Next Season
Barcelona is focused on reinforcing its squad for next season, with the aim of advancing in the Champions League. Sources close to the club reveal that they are looking for a central defender, a full-back, and a left winger to strengthen the team.
The culé team needs two points in its next matches to secure the LaLiga title and complete the national treble. However, the elimination in the Champions League semi-finals against Inter Milan has driven the need to improve the team.
Despite financial restrictions, some players are expected to leave the club to allow for new investments. The sports management, led by Deco, has drawn up several plans according to economic availability.
Although there are no firm candidates yet for the desired positions, names like Marcus Rashford, Nico Williams, and Luis Díaz are not ruled out.
Deco confirmed that the club could look for a winger this summer, highlighting the reliance on Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

The Catalan club showed interest in Rashford from Manchester United and in Williams from Athletic Club. Díaz from Liverpool has also been closely followed.
In defense, Barcelona explored the possibility of signing Jonathan Tah, but it seems that the player will join Bayern Munich. Although the club has several central defenders, departures are expected, which justifies the search for another defender.
Despite the good performance of Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde as full-backs, the club recognizes the need to reinforce this position.
Marc Pubill from Almería and Andrei Rațiu from Rayo Vallecano have been considered as possible reinforcements.
Barcelona will intensify its planning for the summer once it secures the LaLiga title. The team could be crowned champion on Wednesday if Real Madrid drops points against Mallorca.
Otherwise, Hansi Flick’s side will have the opportunity to win the league on Thursday, playing against Espanyol.
The coach, Hansi Flick, has expressed his respect for Espanyol and his focus on obtaining the three points in the next match. Flick recalled what happened in the past, when Barcelona won the title at Espanyol’s home and the fans invaded the field.
For me, it’s about respect. First, we have to fight for the three points. Then, I think we will do the right thing.
