(🌕) Barcelona’s summer plans, as of today. Xavi wants to strengthen up to 7 positions in the team. News thread, read below. @ferrancorreas #Transfers 🔁🔎

ℹ️ Keeper position: Neto’s departure is almost certain and the club will have to get a backup, with Inaki Peña currently having the highest chances of taking over this role but no 100% decision is made as of yet. @ferrancorreas #Transfers 🧤

ℹ️ CB’s: Current options are Pique, Garcia, Araujo, Lenglet & Umtiti, with the last 2 expected to leave while the first 3 will stay. At least one will arrive, who is already signed (Christensen). @ferrancorreas #Transfers 🛡

ℹ️ Xavi wants both flanks to be strengthened. For the right, Azpi’s the chosen one but a deal isn’t done yet as Chelsea have activated the clause to renew him for another year. @ferrancorreas #Transfers 🔎

ℹ️ For the left, club doesn’t want to spend a lot since Alba will continue to be a starter - but many names are liked, like Galán, Telles, Grimaldo, Tagliafico and Álex Moreno. Gaya is unlikely to come, as of today. @ferrancorreas #Transfers 🔎

ℹ️ The midfield is the least of the club’s priorities at the moment — the only way we can expect a new signing is if there’s an unexpected departure. Xavi wants 6 MF’s and already has them (Gavi, Frenkie, Pedri, Nico, Kessie & Busi). @ferrancorreas #Transfers 🔄

ℹ️ Up-front — Raphinha and Lewandwoski are both targets. For the former, personal terms aren’t an issue but they will have to negotiate with Leeds. With RL9, the player likes the idea of joining & there’ve been contacts w/ his agency. @ferrancorreas #Transfers 🇧🇷🇵🇱

ℹ️ Club is aware about the positions they have to strengthen, but have to solve some minor issues as well before being able to successfully achieve their targets — like FFP (have to sell 49% of Barça Studios + CVC deal). They have to sell players too. @ferrancorreas #Transfers ⚠️

End of report.
