August promises to be “Caliente” in Catalonia. If we could expect to see a rather discreet Barça, the biggest of the job having already been made in the first part of the transfer window with the arrivals of Joan Garcia, Marcus Rashford and Rony Bardghji, the tone of the words of Joan Laporta resonates differently. While departures are still expected (Oriol Romeu, Héctor Fort, Iñaki Peña, even Marc-André Ter Stegen could be affected), the boss of the club let in arrivals could be too.

At the start of the transfer window, Hansi Flick and Deco worked on the arrival of a side, a priori on the left side. The name of the Spanish international Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen), trained at the club, then often returned to the Catalan press. More offensive profiles such as Nico Jackson (Chelsea) or Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal) were also cited by the English and Spanish presses.

Reinforcements could still happen

According to SportLaporta recently requested Deco and her coach Hansi Flick to have their gaze on the possible missing in the workforce. In recent hours, the president of Barça even spoke on Cnn To evoke the transfer window, while his club is currently in the midst of a Asian tour (Barça will face Daegu on Monday, before playing the Gamper trophy against Come six days later in Barcelona).

“As a club, we must have more players than usual, and that involves investing more and putting from our person to have a even more competitive workforce than it is currently”expressed Laporta, before continuing. Of course, we have very talented players, but they are also human beings, and they have limits. They need time to rest and have fun, and I think it's an element to take into account. ” In Spain, this declaration reacted enormously, since Laporta had shown itself rather clear by repeating that the workforce was already complete. For Sportreinforcements could also be expected in “surprise” positions, as in central defense or in the middle.
