Barcelona are still planning to make more signings, with their second economic lever set to be activated soon, as Laporta confirmed on Thursday.
However, Barca's bid for some of their top targets, particularly in the attack, have so far been rejected.
The onus is now on the players to go on strike to force a move to Camp Nou. Here are two players who could do just that.
Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker has watched Bayern Munich reject three good bid for him from Barcelona. He could skip their preseason tour to pressure the Bavarians into accepting Barca's offer.
Raphinha. Leeds wants to sell the player to Chelsea because they're offering more money, but Barca is his preferred choice. The winger will reportedly miss Leeds' preseason tour of Australia with aim of forcing them to accept Barca's offer.
