Barcelona are reportedly keeping their focus on the long-term transfer market rather than the short-term.
As Luis Miguelsanz reveals in SPORT, the club does not plan to incorporate new signings during the January transfer market.
However, there is already a strategy in place for the upcoming summer window, which could involve some significant adjustments to the squad.
It should be noted that when Hansi Flick took command he made it clear that he would not request immediate reinforcements. He believed in maximizing the potential of the current team.
Their only bet on signings was on a player who could offer decisive moments in matches, especially in the attacking department.
The club responded by incorporating Dani Olmo. In the end, Flick maintained control over the midfield and wing positions, showing confidence in the available players.
What is the bigger plan?
While no changes are expected in January, discussions have already begun on how the team can evolve during the summer transfer window.
The main priorities include signing two full-backs and a high-quality left-back. These additions are considered key to helping the team take an important step forward.
Furthermore, the idea of incorporating a physically strong midfielder has gained momentum, as the team currently lacks that profile. However, any move for this position would depend on finding a player at a reasonable price.
And a forward…
Another area under scrutiny is the centre-forward position. Both Deco and Flick recognize the risks of relying solely on Robert Lewandowski, whose performance has shown signs of decline.
Although the renewal of the Polish forward’s contract is not in doubt, the club is considering advancing plans for his replacement if resources allow.
This decision will also depend on how the season develops and the availability of top-level forwards in the summer market.
Finding a prolific goalscorer could prove difficult, as many elite forwards could remain tied to their current clubs. In comparison, landing a quality winger seems to be a more realistic option for the summer.
Barcelona’s management will need to carefully evaluate its priorities as it works to build a more balanced and competitive team for the future.
