The Bar\u00e7a board has clear priorities for the upcoming summer market. Is the club right to rule out signing another midfielder?<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The FC Barcelona board is not considering new reinforcements for the midfield in the upcoming summer market. Although there are very interesting options that could arrive on a free transfer (like Thomas Partey<\/a>), Hansi Flick is very happy with the resources available in the midfield.<\/p>

The presence of Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez alongside Frenkie de Jong gave solidity and freshness to the team this 2025<\/strong>, while Marc Casad\u00f3 did a great job during the Dutchman’s absence due to injury. Despite Marc Bernal’s absence throughout the season, the team did a great job in midfield, led by a tremendous Pedri.<\/p>

The Canary Islander played practically everything, showing a brutal physical and technical display that places him as a candidate for the next Ballon d’Or. In addition, the return of Gavi, along with the good work of Dani Olmo and Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez<\/strong> as attacking midfielders\/wingers gave Flick’s scheme the necessary balance to sustain the high pressure in each game.<\/p>

De Jong’s renewal closes the debate on reinforcements for the midfield<\/h2>

A year ago, Bar\u00e7a seemed determined to incorporate another defensive pivot. Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez insisted on bringing in Mart\u00edn Zubimendi or Joshua Kimmich<\/strong>, but Flick’s arrival cooled negotiations for the Basque and the German. Finally, ‘Zubi’ agreed to his transfer to Arsenal<\/a>, while the Rotweill player preferred to renew with Bayern Munich.<\/p>

At the end of 24\/25, the situation is much calmer in Can Bar\u00e7a regarding the need to reinforce. The coaching staff brought out the best version of almost all the players<\/strong> and, in the case of the midfielders, only an eventual departure of De Jong would open the door to the signing of another footballer with similar characteristics.<\/p>

However, Joan Laporta himself recently admitted the club’s confidence in Frenkie’s renewal<\/strong>, an operation that must be resolved in the coming weeks, preferably before June 30.<\/p>

The return of Marc Bernal, another reason to avoid bringing in another midfielder<\/h3>

In turn, the return of Marc Bernal this summer<\/a>, once he has fully recovered from the serious knee injury suffered last August, is a luxury reinforcement for the cul\u00e9 midfield. <\/p>

As for pivots, Bar\u00e7a will have De Jong, Casad\u00f3 and Bernal, although Gavi, Eric Garc\u00eda and even Andreas Christensen<\/strong> can also occupy this position in case of emergency. The one who still does not have a natural replacement is Pedri, although Frenkie, Gavi and Dani Olmo himself would be reliable alternatives if the Tenerife player is not at one hundred percent.<\/p>

As things stand, Bar\u00e7a has a clear roadmap for the next summer market. The idea is to incorporate another left winger (Luis D\u00edaz and Marcus Rashford<\/strong>, the names that sound the strongest) and, perhaps, another right back.<\/p>

In any case, the club will wait until July-August to focus on incorporations, as the priority is to sign the pending renewals as soon as possible<\/strong>, along with the departure of the players on loan who must return in July (Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet, Oriol Romeu and \u00c1lex Valle).<\/p>
