Joan Laporta believes that Barcelona will be able to afford to sign a big star next summer, thanks to commercial agreements that are close to being finalized.
As part of the team’s improvement plan, the club is looking to make two or three reinforcements, with a focus on a major signing that will have a significant impact on the team.
Communication continues between the board of directors and the technical staff, led by Hansi Flick, who has already indicated the players he would like to see join the squad.
According to information from the German newspaper “Bild,” Jamal Musiala, the Bayern Munich star, is considered the top option for Flick.
The German coach, who is well-acquainted with Musiala’s abilities from his experience in the Bundesliga, believes the player will fit perfectly into his style of play.
Flick thinks Musiala will not only add creativity to the midfield but will also provide versatility in attacking positions qualities Flick greatly appreciates. Musiala is regarded as one of the most prominent talents in European football, and with high expectations surrounding him, he has become a target for many major clubs.
Flick acknowledges that convincing Bayern Munich to part with Musiala will be a financial challenge, but he is convinced that this move could significantly enhance Barcelona’s performances in crucial matches.
Flick believes Musiala could be the standout star at Barcelona since the departure of the legendary Lionel Messi.
Meanwhile, Laporta is eager to return Barcelona to the top of world football, with commercial agreements with sponsors such as Nike being essential to provide the necessary funding for such signings.
Next summer is a pivotal moment for Barcelona’s future, as a new generation of talents, including Lamine Yamal and Pedri, emerges. Adding a player of Musiala’s caliber would be the missing piece in the club’s ambitious project.
Now, it remains to be seen whether Laporta and his board can turn this dream into reality, raising expectations from both the coaching staff and fans alike.
