In the event of a victory this Saturday against Athletic Bilbao, FC Barcelona would regain the lead in the Spanish Championship, pending the result of Real Madrid on Sunday evening in Elche. And what does the Catalan club intend to do as the winter transfer period approaches?
“We are satisfied with our squad. We want the return of our best players in order to have the most competitive team possible,” judged Deco, the sporting director of Barça, in comments sparked by Mundo Deportivo.
The sports media particularly wanted to know if the Portuguese leader had in mind to strengthen the defensive sector after the departure, last summer, of center back Inigo Martinez from Al-Nassr (Saudi Arabia), the club where Cristiano Ronaldo plays.
Flick finally discovers Camp Nou
While waiting for the opening of the next transfer window (January 1, 2026), FC Barcelona experienced a special moment this November 22. The match against Bilbao marked the return to Camp Nou, after 909 days of work carried out at the legendary Catalan stadium.
“We are delighted to be here, it is a special moment, especially for the coach (Hansi Flick, editor’s note) who has never set foot there, but the most important thing is that we win all three points. The stadium is even more impressive than before,” Deco commented.
