Barça faces a decisive season in which it aims to make a leap in quality across all its lines. With Deco, Flick, and Laporta aligned in the same direction, the goal is clear: to build a competitive unit that fights for everything. The moves in the market have already made it clear that the ambition is at its highest.
The first signings have strengthened key positions, but the project still needs a significant adjustment in the back line. The idea is to finalize the arrival of a defender with leadership and reliability. To achieve this, the sporting management is analyzing several options in the international market.
Joan García, convinced by FC Barcelona's roadmap for the season
The new starting goalkeeper, Joan García, has given the green light to the strategy drawn up from the offices. His voice carries weight in the most important decisions. His security between the posts is a factor that encourages strengthening the rest of the defense.
The search is focused on finding a footballer capable of partnering with Pau Cubarsí and bringing experience in demanding scenarios. Deco, Flick, and Laporta agree that they can't fail in this choice. That's where a name has emerged that convinces everyone.
Nico Schlotterbeck is the top target for Barça's board
The German Nico Schlotterbeck is the favorite to strengthen Barça's defense ahead of the imminent start of the season. Coming from Borussia Dortmund, he stands out for his forcefulness and anticipation. In addition, his transfer could be completed for a figure that is manageable for FC Barcelona's finances, which are not at their best right now.
For Flick, he would be a signing who knows German soccer well and would provide immediate solidity. Deco values his consistency and tactical versatility. Laporta sees him as a strategic medium-term investment.
Joan García's support is key for Flick
Having Joan García's approval has strengthened the confidence that the operation is the right one. The goalkeeper understands that, to aim for titles, he needs a strong defense in front of him. His harmony with the project increases the chances that the signing will be completed soon.
If Nico Schlotterbeck's signing is confirmed, Barça would take a decisive step to improve its defensive performance. The project of Deco, Flick, and Laporta would gain balance and reliability. With Joan García as the leader from the goal, the fans can look forward to a season full of ambition.
