He FC Barcelona is in the reflection phase on how it should strengthen its squad for next season. With the competition in full swing and still in November, it is early to make strategic decisions about the market. The priority for Deco, the sports director, is to renew players like Pedri, Gavi and Araujo and, in January, re-enroll Dani Olmo already Pau Victor. But not even that can be closed because there is no salary fair play. However, the work of analysis and planning of reinforcements is continuous, as is the reception of messages from players who show their interest in signing with the club. Barcelona. And obviously no one can stop that. Two of the high-level footballers that Barça considers incorporating because they know of their desire to become culés are bLeao (Milan) and Jonathan David (Lille). The two have let the Barça club know that they are within reach and in the club’s decision-making areas they value them positively, especially the former. TO Leaobecause they see him as a potential star who needs a jump to be able to explode. To David, because he is a solvent scorer who is ending his contract although, let’s be clear, that does not mean that he would arrive completely free.
The figure of Leao (25 years old) is growing within the club as one of the candidates to strengthen the squad. The Portuguese striker from B has the technical and physical conditions to become a star but he lacks consistency and regularity. In the Barça entity there are important people who believe that they could explode in the team Hansi Flick. In fact, there was an attempt last summer to sign him (revealed by MD on August 20) once Nico Williams He made it clear that he preferred to stay at Athletic. The interest is maintained and also in the Barça it is known that Leao He also still wants to join the Barça club. The Portuguese footballer’s entourage admits that his relationship with the Milan coach, Paulo Fonsecais not fluid and although she has a contract until 2028, she would like to go to a club where she dreams of winning important titles and gaining media power. Barça seduces Leao because it is a large company worldwide, it is growing hand in hand with Hansi Flick and has a new stadium under construction that will be the best in the world when it’s finished. Furthermore, he has already been at Milan for six seasons and believes it is time for him to change his scene and take a leap for the better. Jorge Mendes has a great relationship with Barça and that is also a factor that can help, although the club does not classify it as decisive. Its price could be around 80 million but the Milan He has amortized it since it cost him about 50 in 2019.
Of Leao I really like that he is a player with a lot of imbalance and that is missing in the Barça squad. He races for power or dribbling because he is a great dribbler. In addition, he has very good goal figures to play on the left wing and gives many assists. Furthermore, from his surroundings they point out that he can also play more focused and given his power he can break defenses through the axis and hold the ball well due to his great size. And at Barça, the physical component is also seen a lot. Without forgetting that the forward line is not overstretched and that there is a significant jump between the performance of the starters (Laminate, Lewandowski and Raphinha) and the substitutes (Ferran Torres, Pau Victor and Ansu Fati).

In the case of Jonathan David (24 years old) there is not as much unanimity about his Barça level as with Leao. That is why it is being monitored in detail. It works in his favor that his goal figures are very powerful, that in the squad there is no substitute for Lewandowski who is already 36 years old, who has said publicly that his dream is to play in the Barça and that contract ends. It would not be free because he would ask for a transfer bonus but, obviously, it would not be as expensive as going to sign him if he had a long contract with his club. Nor should we lose sight of the fact that Robert Lewandowski He has one more year signed conditional on playing a percentage of games that will surely exceed by far given his performance and that he is the only ‘9’ in the squad. And if the Pole continues until 2026, the investment in another leading striker could be postponed for a season.
Of course, everything, the Leaowhat of David And the rest of the potential signings are in the analysis phase because if the season ends successfully there will be needs and if it ends badly it will be necessary to excite Barcelona fans even more and we will have to look for high-level cards.
