FC Barcelona are not giving up on their idea of being able to strengthen their squad without having to let go of important players in the squad, although in the centre of defence they seem to have a 'problem' for the future

Calendar of FC Barcelona

As we already explained this Tuesday in FCBN, the FC Barcelona and his sportive direction already has begun to draw his map for what will be the next market of summer, and of course the preparation of the following Barcelona staff. The team culé will have to do it while in parallel it defines who will be the trainer that will be to charge of this group of players, although to fault of almost five months for this already has a 'problem' in his planning.

And it is that if it reviews the projection of head offices that the club will have from 1 July, the situation so that it does not have another solution more than 'signal' to some names. The position, already very strong since it began the season with the arrival of Iñigo Martínez to the group of Koundé, Araújo and Christensen, has grown even more in size and quality with the apparition from the Masia of Pau Cubarsí, the one who is being very leading with Xavi in this 2024 and hardly do not go to go in in the plans of the new Barcelona technician.

The list of head offices in the Barça wide increasingly

It is thus that seeing the disposal culé to play, except explained exceptions, with the 4-3-3 system, the Barça will face a problem of 'sobrepoblación' of the position in summer if in addition to the five already mentioned names take into account that Eric García and Clement Lenglet will return of his respective cessions, at least by the moment. Both defenders were loaned without option of purchase and for now neither Girona neither Aston Villa have given signals of a possible definite operation in the future near.

Like this, the Barça will have 7 head offices in very little time for a role in which they act two footballer and where Araújo is simply indispensable. The Uruguayan, that certainly could think a change of airs to the Bayern of Munich or to the Premier League, seems to have his place ensured in the XI like head office, except that the new trainer think him much more like side in the first of change.

A lot of factors to consider by the Barça

The big problem for the Barcelona club right now, further of the big quantity of defenders, is that without knowing who will be his trainer will have complicated to know how proceed, except that from the sportive direction leave him clear with which footballers could not explain under any stage, as it could be with a Lenglet that seems to have finished already his stage in the club. To the margin of this, the culés will have to await that the new trainer review and evaluate the names that would want to have in his project, since in front of the tastes of the míster, practically any could be to save.

Players like Koundé and Christensen have gone down considerably his level this season, but take out advantage to Iñigo in the section of age, although the Basque adds a lot of chevrons by his left-handed profile, trying explain a hypothetical situation. The work of Deco like sportive director will be to try define this situation the sooner possible, especially if it receives important offers by some player that he and the club consider that it can be prescindible of the new project, independently of the name of the new technician of the Barça.
