Xavi asks for five signings to strengthen Barça in 2023-24

In the FC Barcelona avecinan a lot of changes of face to the next season. After the Classical against the Real Madrid, that finish with defeat, goleada and hit of authority, in the dispatches of the Barcelona picture understand that it does fault the last push so that the team go back to be competitive in the most important nights, that has been the big asterisk in this course. It is something that, in any case, would carry long 'warning' Xavi Hernández.

The recent elimination of the Glass of the King confirms the diagnostic that already would have done the trainer of Terrassa does some time and that has communicated to the team, according to an information of the journalist Javi Miguel. It does lacking to have players 'fixed' in key positions and, besides, reinforce others in which the headlines need 'competition' and spares. Now, the balloon is in the roof of the Barcelona sportive direction.

Necessary reinforcements for the summer

The year happened the culés achieved the free incorporations of Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessié, as well as the signings of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Koundé, in addition to Héctor Bellerín (free) that left shortly after arriving. They have been important reinforcements, but from the staff technical understand that it still is not sufficient. Thus, according to the before quoted source, Xavi has expressed that it wanted to five players more for this season.

The first, that could be the more key, is the one of a right side. Although before it had informed that was descartado and that would follow betting by what there was in 'house' (Jules Koundé, Ronald Araújo, Sergi Roberto and, probably, Julián Araujo, of the filial), the Classical changed the posture for the club. They are very attentive with what can happen with a Joao Cancel that it could go back to the Manchester City to be traspasado, again, with cession. Likewise, Xavi would want the signing of a central and Iñigo Martínez, that will be free agent, is the one who has more options to arrive.

Three reinforcements for the attack, with Leo Messi?

In the Barça understand that the big lacks in this season, in spite of the arrival of Robert Lewandowski and Raphipnha, have been in the attack. In the Classical evidenció the fault of tarpaulin and gunpowder, but also stood out the little offensive pressure of the team and how, in definite, the two players that went out of sides had the most important actions in the second part. And this is a problem. The before quoted source has explained that, thus, the trainer egarense want to three reinforcements between the medullary and leading.

Xavi would be asking to a mediocentro offensive, with Bernardo Silva constantly related with the Barcelona team in front of his intention to abandon the Manchester City, as well as an İlkay Gündoğan that it can play so much of pivote like interior and that it would be a big alternative because it finishes agreement on 30 June and, for the moment, has not renewed. On the other hand, it is the need of a left extreme, although there they can play so much Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres like the own Dembélé. It wants to, finally, to a leading centre.

Vitor Roque Would be the big bet of the culés, but also is the alternative of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, whose future in Chelsea could be in the air, depending on what happen with the arrival of Frank Lampard. It would remain, finally, Leo Messi like the "guinda of the cake". Everything seems to indicate to that it will not renew with the Paris Saint-Germain. From the club already have opened him the doors, but have to find the formula so that it was economically viable his return.

The reason that 'delay' the negotiations by the signings

From it does some time has come informing that from the FC Barcelona want to find the ideal formula to be able to inscribe footballers during the market of signings estival. Although have the firm intention to bring reinforcements, are conscious that the big problem will be to register them in LaLiga, reason by which are making a plan of economic feasibility of face to the future to present it, in brief, to the patronal with to the intention to improve the conditions of the club regarding the 'fair play' financial.

It is thus that the directors ask patience of face to the beginning of the negotiations to achieve reinforcements in the staff. They know that, first, from LaLiga demand the reduction of 200 million euros of the mass salarial and that, if they do not fulfil it, will not be able to neither inscribe to the players that have renewed his agreements (Gavi, Ronald Araújo, Marcos Alonso and Sergi Roberto), neither to the possible incorporations. First they have to do the works... And it can take more time of the expected.
