The Blaugrana hope that a return to Camp Nou and clarifications on their VIP space lease of 100 million euros will help solve this problem, but it is imperative to continue to plan the future.
It is clear that their ability to spend, and even to recruit players, will have a decisive impact on these plans, but the sports director Deco is currently working on the creation of two positions for the summer of 2026. Unless serious injury, the Blaugrana should not be active in January.
Barcelona is looking for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski
It is not a secret for anyone: Barcelona will probably have a hole to fill in the image of Robert Lewandowski in his attack next season. The 37 -year -old arrives at the end of the contract next summer, and it seems that it is his last year at the club, Barcelona being reluctant to invest important sums for a player who will celebrate his 38th birthday next August. Although Ferran Torres has fulfilled his role as a replacement, Lewandowski is the only classic number.
According to The Athletic, this is one of Deco's main objectives for next season, and it seems that President Joan Laporta is a big fan of Julian Alvarez, from Atlético Madrid. Its sense of goal, its performance and versatility are all assets in its favor, even if its probable price makes any transaction difficult.
After the failure of Jonathan Tah's transfer and the surprise departure of Inigo Martinez, Deco's next priority is central defense. The central defender of Sporting CP and International Portuguese Goncalo Inacio is mentioned as a choice they appreciate, but it should be noted that players' transfers to these two positions depend on the circumstances and evolution of the season.
FC Barcelona priorities have changed several times
It was almost unanimously reported that Barcelona sought to recruit a right side until April of this year, as well as a left winger. Despite the arrival of Marcus Rashford, the club decided, after the good performances of Eric Garcia at the end of the season, to concentrate his finances on other positions. Likewise, he took the opportunity to recruit goalkeeper Joan Garcia unexpectedly, when this transfer was not mentioned two months earlier.
