The sports management of FC Barcelona is about to make a new signing that promises to change the course of the recruitment area. What is known so far?<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona<\/strong> is not only focused on making market moves to improve the squad for the 2025\/26 season<\/a>, but is also exploring options to strengthen its sports structure<\/strong>. In this sense, Deco, sports director, will have a new collaborator to shore up the recruitment area.<\/p>

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Catalan team has reached a total agreement with Jo\u00e3o Amaral<\/strong>, former sports director of the Portuguese Rio Ave<\/strong>, who will be the new head of the scouting<\/em> area. The Portuguese arrives to strengthen the search and monitoring of young talent, a key piece to get ahead in future incorporations.<\/p>

It should be remembered that Joao Amaral<\/strong> himself had already informed Rio Ave<\/strong> at the beginning of the summer that he accepted the offer from FC Barcelona<\/strong> and that he was disassociating himself from his functions in the Portuguese team. It should be noted that the Vila do Conde native only performed this work in the Rioavista squad for one season.<\/p>
