According to the Marca report, Barcelona's signings this summer have ended.
Barcelona has confirmed that it will not continue to sign ups this summer, and the decision will be made by sports director Deco and coach Frick. Although news in recent days has been said that Barcelona may introduce a central defender after Inigo Martinez's transfer to Riyadh to win, this option was eventually rejected.
Frick believes that the current four central defenders: Kubasi, Araujo, Christensen and Eric Garcia can handle the season mission.
In addition, Barcelona has other players who can respond to emergency positions in the central defender. Kong De was originally a central defender. Although he is mainly a right-back, he can still return to the middle when needed. The same situation also occurs on the left side. Youth training young player Martin has been promoted to the first team in the new season and serves as the left back as Barde's substitute, but he has also shown his ability to be competent for the central defender in the last two preseason games.
After the pre-season warm-up game with Cuomo, Frick said he did not expect the Inigo transfer, but he also believed it was an opportunity for other players. "This is football. One player's departure may bring good opportunities for others to improve themselves," Frick said, which seems to suggest that Araujo and Martin will take more responsibility.
Therefore, Barcelona will not introduce new players. The only thing that may lead to a change in plan is that a player leaves the team in the next few days, but this is unlikely because everyone expressed their willingness to stay with the team. For example, Araujo, Casador and Fermin all rejected the temptation of other teams. Fermin also publicly stated on Sunday: "Everyone can rest assured that I will stay." Another factor that hinders signings is financial issues. Barcelona still fails to fully resolve the restrictions brought by the regulations, resulting in the inability to register for all players at present. Management now devotes all its energy to solving the registration problem, as the season is about to begin and no new players can make their debut in the first round against Mallorca, which has become the top priority for sports management.
Club believes that the current lineup is enough to deal with the early season games. If there is injury or shortage of personnel, consider strengthening in the winter window. By then they hope to have completed the fiscal balance and can embark on the next signing plan.
