12 major recruitment targets are out! Visa-free and loan have become the key means of Barca, and Messi's return is the most critical
Barça's management worked very effectively in the summer window last year, and the team managed to win this season's La Liga title. However, in terms of the performance of the cup, it reflects the huge gap between them and those traditional giants. This is what Barca need to accomplish in this summer window, after all, next season is still facing the challenge of multi-front, and Barca, who have been in the group stage of the Champions League for several years in a row, are not willing to repeat the same mistakes in the new season, they need to return to a familiar rhythm as soon as possible, at least to ensure that they can reach the knockout stage.
Due to the impact of the fiscal fairness bill, Barça need to find a way to fill the problem of salary space while attracting reinforcements. They also need to release up to 200 million in salary to allow the team to complete player registrations normally. So similar to last year's overall policy, Barça signings will still focus on players who can be visa-freed, so that a large transfer fee can remain. And if there is no way to exempt the visa, then leasing or underpricing becomes the team's first choice. World Sport listed Barca's key players in this summer window, with a total of 12 potential signings.
Back: 5 people into view
In the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Real Madrid completely penetrated Barca's defense, which made the team see a huge problem on the defensive end. Especially in the final rounds of the league, Barca's form has had very obvious problems. And in this season's multi-line battle, Xavi really can't hold enough defensive cards in his hands, which has caused many players to feel tired. Therefore, the introduction of defenders is a key part of the summer window. The two current targets of Barca's main signings are Kimmich and Zubimendi. The season was nothing but a wonderful season for Kigo, with Germany once again out of the group at the World Cup. In terms of the league, Nanda King Bayern has no way to continue to dominate the league, and the team is likely to be ended by Dort. Bayern have always regarded him as a non-sale, but similar to Lewandowski's original idea, Kigo also intends to see the outside world, and this is the best time for Barca to sign.
As for Zubimendi, he is a player that Barca have been paying attention to, but his transfer fee does not seem to be low at the moment. The player himself has said that it would be a very happy thing to play with Messi. So if Barca can finally complete the return of Messi, then the signing of Zubimendy may usher in a whole new situation. In addition to these two excellent backs, Barca's roster also includes three players including Neves.
Visa-free and rent-free go hand in hand
Visa waivers are certainly Barca's first choice, and now Gundogan is their most important target. His contract with Manchester City is coming to an end this summer, and Guo is still willing to take on new challenges. A number of media have reported that he is open to joining Barca, and he is still very satisfied with the environment of La Liga. However, at present, Barca's signing is not yet certain, because Guo's form this season is indeed very good, and he scored two extremely wonderful goals in the last round of the league. All this could lead City to choose to keep him, and Arsenal are now watching his movements.
In terms of full-backs, Barca are also targeting Manchester City players, who are ready to go on loan to Joao Cancelo. The player's half season at Bayern is actually quite good overall. However, he has completely departed from the manager's tactical system, and Bayern may choose not to sign Joao Cancelo on loan again. This gives Barca the opportunity to shoot, the team must not have the money to complete the transfer, so loan as a mercenary, is also a very good choice. But Barca still have to be well prepared, after all, Cancelo's one-point personality can easily make excessive moves in the game.
Messi remains at the core
In addition to the players mentioned above, Nigo Martinez is now absolutely about to join the team, and the only step left for the two sides is to sign and officially announce it. For Barca management, the return of Messi is the top priority of this summer window. Boss Mei's performance this season can be fully described as explosive, he is the only player in the five major leagues to reach a double 20 goals and assists. In the face of such a player who is getting older and more devilish, Barca will certainly not miss this opportunity to get a visa-free ticket.
And Barca's economic accounts are also very meticulous, they know that Messi's return can bring more than 200 million in revenue every year. This is definitely a very important thing for Barça, which is in financial crisis. So they will definitely not let go of this cash cow this time, although Laporta once backstabbed Messi fiercely, but fortunately, the two sides have now released their previous suspicions. Coupled with the fact that Messi and Paris have completely fallen out, this gives Barca the best chance. Coupled with the emotional offensive of an old friend like Xavi, it may only be a matter of time before he wins back Messi.
