FC Barcelona is already gearing up for next season with a lot of movement in its squad. After a year full of ups and downs, the blaugrana club is clear that it wants to consolidate its project with key players and smart signings.
Renewals that mark the path
The club has already secured two important contract renewals that shore up its immediate future. Lamine Yamal, the jewel of the youth academy, has signed to stay, showing Barça's commitment to young talents.
Raphinha, one of the most decisive footballers this season, will also continue to defend the blaugrana colors. However, there is still room to strengthen the squad and adjust details that will allow the team to compete at the highest level.
Deco: “We won't sell the best”
In an interview given to "BBC Sports", Deco, Barça's sporting director, has dispelled doubts about the club's sporting policy. "We are not going to sell our best players," he stated firmly. For him, this season's successes have created a solid foundation that allows Barcelona to grow without dismantling the team.
"We are convinced that we can keep growing with many of the same players," Deco added, conveying trust in the current project. This means there won't be a drastic revolution, but rather a controlled and planned evolution.
Signings, but without madness
Although there won't be massive sales, Deco confirmed that the club is indeed looking to bring in between two and four reinforcements who will add freshness and quality to the group. "We are looking for two, three, or four signings, but without needing to enter the market like crazy," he pointed out. This calm is due to the stability they have achieved with the core of the squad, which allows them to plan without haste or rushed purchases.
Joan García, Marcus Rashford, and Luis Díaz are being strongly considered, three players with talent and a lot of potential. The club is handling these options cautiously, assessing which profiles best fit the team's style and needs.
Barça's near future
The blaugrana planning seems clear: keep the key pieces and add talent to strengthen the most needed areas. Deco's message is one of calm and ambition. The commitment to continuity and quality, rather than explosive signings, will set the roadmap.
This way, Barça seeks not only to repeat successes but also to build a solid and competitive team to fight for all the titles next season. The mix of young prospects and select signings could be the key to bringing the club back to the top of European soccer.
