Barcelona focusing on strengthening wing and full-back positions for next season - reports
FC Barcelona are heading into the final international break and the last two months of the season still hopeful of winning all three titles: Copa, La Liga, and the Champions League. Despite this, the work at the Ciutat Esportiva is intense. Deco's office is rarely without activity as the clubs plan for the 2025/2026 season with the goal of strengthening the current squad.
This won't be easy, as the clubs continue to navigate financial fair play limitations. In the recent winter window, the priority was renewing key players, including Gavi, Pedri, Araujo, Gerard Martin, Inigo Martinez, and Robert Lewandowski. The next player to focus on could be Frenkie de Jong, with both sides open to a new proposal.
Coach Flick is pleased with the squad's level, stating in multiple press conferences that he trusts the club, although he works closely with Deco to strengthen certain positions. The main focus for next season is to reinforce the wing and full-back positions.
Relevo reports that the priority is signing a winger with experience and flair, expected to cost around €60-70m. A versatile full-back is also a target, with Marc Pubill still on the radar. However, the clubs are unsure of their financial flexibility until the summer, and any potential title wins could impact their strategy.
