Calendar of FC Barcelona

The next weeks will be keys for the future of the FC Barcelona and of Joan Laporta. The president has by in front a month in which it will have to face several open fronts that it has to close. The Catalan already has put hands to the work to solve them while it also struggles against the economic crisis that there is in the club. avecinan Important moments for the culés in which his maximum mandator will have to be to the height.

The election of trainer

One of the most urgent subjects, surely the elder, is the election of the trainer of face to the course that comes. Ronald Koeman has agreement, but after losing LaLiga of this form there are a lot of doubts on his continuity. Laporta Still has not decided what do and will expect to final of campaign to do it. The election of the technician will affect for well or for bad in the sportive planning and in the project that is building 'Jan'.

The renewal of Messi

On the other hand, the president barcelonista also has to solve what before better the future of Leo Messi. The Argentinian finishes agreement this summer and the mandator carries time trying that it renew. The feelings are good and thinks that will remain , but for now the rosarino still has not answered to the proposal that presented him from the club. Of his exit or of his enlargement will depend the sportive and economic planning, by what urge clear this subject.

The future of Dembélé and Sergi Roberto

In addition to the renewal of the '10', Laporta also will have to solve the cases of Ousmane Dembélé and Sergi Roberto, that finish agreement in 2022. If it does not achieve that the French and the one of Reus renew, will listen offers by both and will try them sell. With the Catalan there are doubts, but the aim with the Frenchman is that it remain , although it seems that his agent is not by the work. These two pending subjects also will mark the management of the lawyer and employer for well or for bad.

The complex 'operation gone out'

In the chapter of exits also is necessary to include to a lot of other players that could leave. The club wants to undo of a lot of footballers this summer and will not have it at all easy by an economic question. Names like Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti or Miralem Pjanic are in the market, but does not seem easy to sell them to a reasonable price. The teams have less money to spend by the pandemia and besides the wages of the footballers mentioned are very high. Here there will be a lot of work and Laporta will have to show his dowries like president.

The signings of the next project

Finally, it arrives the chapter of signings. The mandator wanted to fichar a big star, but this seems increasingly difficult. In principle, they will arrive players to cost zero like Eric García, Memphis Depay or the Kun Agüero. The Barça already has an agreement with the three, although only it seems 100% safe the arrival of the central. With the forwards there are more doubts, since the Dutch only would play in the Barça if it follows Koeman and the Argentinian only would do it if it follows Messi. Besides, also it sounds Georginio Wijnaldum, since the idea of the blaugrana is fichar a physical midfield player.
