(🌕) The current sporting area of the club, led by Ramon Planes, have intensified their monitoring in La Real’s Alexandre Isak. They are aware that one of the priorities of the next president will be a CF. More details below. @moillorens@samuelmarsden#Transfers 🇸🇪
ℹ️ The current sports area has continued to search the market in the last few months to offer the next president different reports on positions which need to be reinforced and on some players that would be considered as interesting. @moillorens@samuelmarsden#Transfers 👥
ℹ️ Club scouts have been analyzing Isak’s performances since last October. The current sporting area are also following Darwin Núñez. @moillorens@samuelmarsden#Transfers 🇸🇪🇺🇾
ℹ️ Similarly, Memphis Depay and Aguero are also in the list of the current sporting area’s CF options. Depay’s incorporation will depend largely on whether Koeman continues next season since it was his request. @moillorens@samuelmarsden#Transfers 🇳🇱🇦🇷
ℹ️ Such options are being looked into because the current sporting area are aware that it will be difficult to compete for players like Håland or Mbappe due to the club’s financial state. @moillorens@samuelmarsden#Transfers 👥
ℹ️ On Joan Laporta’s part, it is well known that he maintains a great relationship w/ Håland’s agent Mino Raiola. @moillorens@samuelmarsden#Transfers 🤝
❗️FYI: These players mentioned are under the interest of the current sporting area which is led by Ramon Planes. Once the elections are over, the new management will see these reports which have been complied by Planes, who will most certainly not be here after the elections.
❗️Unless the next president decides to consider these reports of Ramon Planes, we will see different targets once we have a new president in March. These players interest Ramon Planes btw, but whether or not they will be considered by the new management obv remains to be seen.

Garcia Pimienta [Barcelona B Coach] told SER: "We are talking about the Barça DNA, but within the DNA you have to be a winner and competitive. This club aspires to win everything. If you don't have a winning mentality within your DNA, you can't play here" #FCB 🔵🔴
Pimienta: "The Barça DNA is a different way of understanding football - that they truly understand the game, they use both legs, they position themselves well, they think faster than others and that before receiving they already know what to do" #FCB 🔵🔴
Pimienta: "I assure you there are players [from the subsidiary] with this profile & that they can play in the first team, then there are other circumstances. But we must be faithful, believe, and give these players a chance, I am convinced that they have a level to spare" #FCB 👥
ℹ️ “How come we are interested in this player when we have no president?” — Barcelona’s current sporting area, which is led by Ramon Planes, has been doing a market search in these last few months ahead of the elections this March, as advanced by multiple sources. More below. ⤵️
Planes is filing reports on different kinds of players they could look into & positions which we need to be reinforced. That’s why we’ve been linked to players like Isak, Nunez or Bryan Gil, though not all reports which links us to a player from another club rn are credible. 📑
All these reports are going to be for the next president & his management who will arrive in March after the elections. They will arrive at the club w/ many reports on different players the club should consider looking into & what positions should be strengthened in the team. 👥
(🌕) Ronald Koeman, the candidates & the technical secretariat agree that it is a priority to sign a CF. Erling Håland is a name that pleases everyone, though Barça will need to sell players & lower their wage bill before signing him. @ffpolo#Transfers#ElectionsFCB 🇳🇴
More: ⤵️
ℹ️ Among the presidential candidates, especially Joan Laporta & Victor Font, there is talk of Erling Håland’s possible signing if certain circumstances occur. @ffpolo#Transfers#ElectionsFCB 🇳🇴
ℹ️ There are other names too, other than just Håland. Aguero is a player who is considered to have ‘Barça level’ by some candidates and that he would be a good incentive to try and renew Messi. Ronald Koeman likes Depay & Lukaku. Ramon Planes likes Lautaro. @ffpolo#Transfers 👥
Pedri told @AP: “I've always loved Iniesta and his way of playing football, the way he plays both on and off the field. He was my reference and I've tried to imitate him. I think I’ve seen all of Iniesta’s videos on YouTube and I had never missed a game of his” #FCB 🇪🇸⭐️
Pedri, on his combinations with Messi: “Maybe that's something I learned from Andres, but the truth is they're things that happen on the field. If you suddenly listen to Leo, you know you can give him the ball because he'll create danger & end up marking as usual” @AP#FCB 🇦🇷🤝🇪🇸
Pedri, on Koeman: “One day he put me aside & had told me that he didn't know much about me, that he had barely seen me play and I’d have to show him what I can do in training. I got motivation out of that. I knew I had to work as hard as anyone to win my place” @AP#FCB 🇪🇸
Joan Laporta: “I will do my best [if he wins] for Messi to continue at Barça. I have indications that he is doing well in Barcelona and that he wants to stay. You need to rely on a sporting project to win the Champions League” #FCB
Joan Laporta, in regards with Messi’s renewal: “The next President of Barça must make every effort” #FCB
Sergiño Dest is still not 100%, wasn’t involved w/ the group yesterday. He is carrying some discomfort in his thigh. That’s why he is out for this one. #FCB 🇺🇸🛑
