The Spanish giants Barcelona, who are already looking towards the next campaign despite having one foot in next season's league championship, have named their priorities in terms of transfers for next summer.
Key positions targeted for reinforcement
There are several spots that need reinforcement, including goalkeepers, center backs, fullbacks, wingers, and center forwards. However, due to budget constraints, not all these positions can be strengthened, which makes player sales a necessity.
Players who may leave, such as Ansu Fati, are vital because it will help raise funds and enable sporting director Deco to operate effectively in the transfer market.
Yamal leads Barcelona’s untouchable core
The backbone of the long-term plan is Lamine Yamal, who is seen as the backbone of Barcelona’s future. It is anticipated that he will shape the future identity of Barcelona in the coming decade.
Next to him, the playmaker Pedri provides Barcelona's identity through the midfield. In addition, Pau Cubarsí will become a pillar in the defensive line.
Emerging pillars and squad identity
New signing Joan García is also among the pillars who will play a significant role in the future for Barcelona. Moreover, players like Fermín López and Gavi have played a crucial role in defining the identity of Barcelona.
Building for European success
With Flick in charge, the plan at Barca is simple: create a strong team by relying on the unassailable youth base and adding quality where necessary. Ultimately, it all comes down to being successful in Europe once again.
