According to the Daily Sports Daily, there is more than half a month left before the transfer market is closed. Barcelona is satisfied with its existing lineup, but it does not rule out the last-minute changes. Although Inigo Martinez left the team, head coach Frick believed that there were enough substitutes in all positions, but he also realized that the season was long and there might be injuries.
Frick will meet with sports director Deco in the coming days to discuss potential signings and economic viability, and the club seems to have identified the right candidate for the last player. Deco is facing the registration problem again, and it is not yet certain whether it can complete registration for all players before the transfer window is closed on August 31.
Barcelona's first priority is to ensure that Joan Garcia can participate in the first round of the league as a starter before completing the registration of Rashford and Szczesny. The club believes that the two players can successfully register, on the one hand because of Ter Stegen's injury, and on the other hand, it is solved through income.
In addition, Gerald Martin and Bernal will also register with the first team under the contract, while Badge may register with the second team by January next year. Given this situation, Barcelona has almost determined the final squad and hopes no more players will leave, but there are still opportunities for surprises in the last week of the transfer market.
If no players leave the team, Barcelona's investment limit will be very limited, so the club is considering introducing a potential defender under 23 to help a team during the season. Indeed, Barcelona management has recently received recommendations from some top defenders, but these options are almost all ruled out.
Some important clubs are willing to offer loans, but Barcelona is not considering introducing international players now, unless it is almost free, which is not realistic because these players are very high in salary. Deco’s idea is to bring in a young player, pay an acceptable transfer fee, and the player has the ability to rotate between the second and first teams.
As a second team player, it will be easier to register. Barcelona management believes that there are some cost-effective players in the market worth considering. There are several names currently being studied. This operation requires Flick's approval, who just lost the most experienced central defender.
The most likely scenario is that there will be some action in the last few days of the transfer market, as Frick hopes to test the team's performance first and hopes there are no new injuries. The club will take action after the second round of the league.
