The FC Barcelona aims to a market of signings very 'agitated' with the end to reinforce his staff and attain that the project of Xavi Hernández of the 'step' definite. One of the main aims of the Catalan entity was to tackle the signing of a '9' of first level that served like main reference in attack and carried the flag of the team of the of Terrassa. However, the difficult financial situation of the club supposed a big 'obstacle' for the intensiones of the culés, that, by what looks, will have to conform with a forward of less renown.

The big favourite of the directive and the bloated barcelonista was Erling Haaland. The forward of the Borussia Dortmund will go out of the Signal Iduna Park during this summer, and the Barça tried, until last instances, convince it to join to the Barcelona rows. In spite of this, the big economic pretences of the player and his surroundings prevented that the Catalans could compete with his 'rivals' in the 'career' by the footballer, that now lead the Manchester City and the Real Madrid.

Of the same form, the blaugranas showed interested in the situation of Mohamed Salah. The bond of the Egyptian with the Liverpool culminates in the 2023, and the negotiations for the extension of his agreement are 'palisades', by what from the Camp Nou saw this situation like an opportunity to take advantage of. Nevertheless, 'Mo' wants to follow playing in Anfield Road and not even considered to the group culé like alternative, 'descartándose' he same of the 'folder' of possible signings of the Barça.

After the attempts 'fracasados' by the 'stars' of the Dortmund and Liverpool, the barcelonistas put the 'look' in Robert Lewandowski. The situation of the Pole with the Bayern is similar to the one of Salah, differentiating in the fact that the '9' of the Bayern if it would want to go out of his club. In spite of this, the Bavarian institution is not by the work to lose to his maximum figure and, for now, are not had to negotiate with any team.

Likewise, the emolumentos of the goleador of the Bundesliga are very high for the monetary actuality of the Barça, adding him a setback more to the operation. Besides, although his renewal seems 'impossible' nowadays, the muniquenses expect to persuade it during this season and attain retain it during some years more, although any option is descartada.

Morata, the new elected

In case of not being able to concretise the incorporation of the captain of Poland, from Can Barça would have 'signalled' to Álvaro Morata like new candidate to the leading culé. The footballer, that is yielded in the Juventus by the Athletic of Madrid, will return to Wanda Metropolitan in summer, and to the not being in the plans of the 'Cholo' Simeone, in the group colchonero will look for him an exit, with the 'Vecchia Signora' very interested in following having his services.

However, in the City Condal, where already tried to hire it in happens it wintry window, would go back to 'launch' by him if it presents them the opportunity. The player has had an acceptable performance this campaign with the 'bianconeros', with those who has marked 11 goals and has delivered 7 assistances. In spite of this, his signing does not generate the same 'illusion' in the world culé that the one of Haaland or Lewandowski, since the attacker is two or three 'stairs' underneath of both goleadores. What is evident is that the finances of the Catalan entity have forced to the club to go down his expectations, and although the time will be the one who dictate sentence, what aimed to be a market of signings 'promising', could finish in a 'disappointment'.
