Although the season is not over yet, the competition between teams in the transfer market has begun. Each team is targeting the shortcomings in the team lineup and collecting the right players from the transfer market. In the case of "more monks and less porridge", in order to ensure the effectiveness of reinforcements, each team has to try to improve efficiency as much as possible. However, they are also moving fast and slow, and if you want to choose the team that moves the fastest, it is undoubtedly Barca. As Barca have hardly gained much on the field this season, Laporta has begun to operate in the transfer market in an effort to make the team more competitive next season.
From the current situation, Laporta and Xavi are very clear about the shortcomings in the team lineup, and have even completed the reinforcement of the corresponding position. The first is in the back position. Although Barca have a number of very good central defenders, these players have a common characteristic, that is, the "ball quotient" is very high, the ability to read the game is outstanding, the passing ability is excellent, but the physical fitness is generally average, and the help that can be brought to the team on the defensive end is not much. Relatively speaking, Busquets is still the main reliance of the team on the back position. But as the veteran grows older, his athleticism has declined significantly, and his defensive awareness alone has become difficult to meet the defensive tasks of the team's midfield position. When faced with a team that is good at high pressing and has excellent impact ability, Barca's defense in midfield positions is not stable. In this case, they have finalized Casey, the arrival of this physically strong and fast back player, which can effectively alleviate the defensive pressure on Busquets.
The second is on the back line. Judging by their team's performance on the defensive end this season, they have conceded more than 1 goal per game, which is not quite a requirement for a team that wants to win the league title. In terms of player performance, there are mostly veterans in the back line, although this largely ensures the lower limit of the team, but it also greatly affects their upper limit. In particular, players such as Alba, Alves and Pique have drifted away from their peak and cannot bring substantial improvement to the team in the future. And the young players in the team, in addition to The remarkable performance of Araujo, other players such as Mingeza and Eric Garcia have not yet shown the ability to "pick the beam". For this situation, Laporta has also planned early and has already put it into action, and Christensen's arrival seems to have been nailed down. The Denmark international centre-back will provide the team with excellent immediate combat.
At left-back, Laporta has communicated with Alba to ask him to renew his contract with the team with a lower salary. However, there has been no effective progress in the renewal negotiations. Laporta has already begun looking for excellent left-backs in the transfer market. According to Western media, in the case of Marcos Alonso looking to return to La Liga, Barca have communicated with the Spanish international full-back, hoping to pocket it at the end of the season.
After a powerful addition to both the midfield and the backline, the team's next reinforcement position is naturally the turn of the forward line. From the perspective of the squad, Barca seems to have some "overcrowded" meaning in the front line. But if you analyze it carefully, the future of these players in the team is uncertain. Especially in the winger position, in terms of the individual ability of the players, Dembele is the most comprehensive player in terms of overall strength without suffering injuries. But his renewal has long stalled, and after he offered the terms of a high-paying extension, Barca's hopes of keeping him were nearly dashed. Traore's performance showed a "high and low" trajectory, and there was a rather amazing performance in the first few games before coming to the team, but it quickly fell silent, mainly because the function was too single: he was only good at breaking through people, and could not help the team in passing and shooting. Given the €30 million buyout, it's almost impossible for Barca to stay in their squad next season.
Relatively speaking, Ferran Torres is in a more stable position. While as an attacker, There is still a lot of room for improvement in His ability to shoot goals, his performance in running without the ball, his dedication and passing strategy have fully convinced Xavi, and given his age, the team is almost certain to continue to give him the opportunity to cash in on his potential. However, it is difficult for Felan Torres and the injured Fati alone to support the team's side attack, and they also need a striker who is in the current year and has excellent standards. According to the Daily Sport, Laporta has largely completed a transfer again, having already reached an agreement with Rafinha on his personal treatment, with Barca offering him a 5-year contract. It is reported that although the Brazilian main winger has a penalty of 75 million euros, in the case of the team's relegation, the penalty will drop to 25 million euros. The transfer looks like the dust has settled. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
