Barça has had a particularly splendor season. And it took a few seconds for it to become historic, those which allowed Francesco Acerbi to tear off for Inter Milan the extension in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Eliminated at the gates of the final, the Blaugrana could nevertheless console themselves with a new title of champion of Spain, a coronation in the king's cup after his victory in Spanish Super Cup this winter.
However, the Catalan giant is preparing for a new restless summer. Joan Laporta clearly suggested it during an interview with the TV3 channel. “We are going to take care of paying all the extensions and then we will see for signatures. To be competitive, you have to recruit. We hope to improve all lines ”, He said.
But this time, the Barcelona president was not risked in shattering announcements. “In life, nothing is impossible, but at the moment we do not envisage a signature like that of Haaland. He is under contract and he recently extended. For Nico Williams, it is true that it was a track last summer. We decided to recruit Olmo. I believe that we are looking towards other options ”he said.
“He must have special treatment, it's obvious”
Joan Laporta nevertheless affirmed it in the preamble: the priority nevertheless goes to the extensions of some of its executives, at the forefront of which Lamine Yamal, the prodigy of the Catalan club. And to achieve its ends, Barça obviously did not look at the expense. “Everything has been discussed and settled and everything suggests that it will go, he announced. He is an extraordinary player, much more mature than his age suggests. The salary must correspond to the importance of the player in the team, without taking into account his age. He must have a special treatment, it is obvious. He is extraordinary. »»
Another extension is on the right track, that of Frenkie de Jong, under contract until 2026. “He is an extraordinary player, much more mature than his age suggests. The salary must correspond to the importance of the player in the team, without taking into account his age. He must have a special treatment, it is obvious. He is extraordinary “blowed the Barcelona president.
