Barcelona seemed to have a relatively simple plan for the summer transfer window, but with Hansi Flick and director of Voetbaldeco to meet to discuss their ideas this week, they could change. In Niet -Lin part to the form of some of their players in the last weeks of the season.
President Joan Laporta gave little away about their plans during an interview on Monday evening, except that the club tried to hold on to Ronald Arajo, Fenkie de Jong and Raphinha. He admitted that Deco worked on improving all parts of the team, and that there would be some outputs, but few in terms of concrete names.
Eric Garcia had already delivered an offer of a new contract for his form as a central midfielder and a central defender and reached new heights in his performance. Nevertheless, his impressions right-back in the absence of Jules Kounde made the original priority of a right back, much less an urgent need says sport, where Deco Garcia can cover well there.
Originally it was Nico Williams, and more recently Luis Diaz, but Deco stated the desire to recruit another attacker who can play on the left, was no secret, and the development of Garcia on right back could facilitate that. That said, the Catalan explains every day that they will not spend wild, and young people Jan Virgili, Toni Fernandez and Dani Rodriguez are all in the frame to contribute next season.
Flick has used Hector Fort sparingly this season, and unless he believes that the 18-year-old next season can take the next step, Garcia would again be the only alternative in right back to Kounde. Gerard Martin turned well for Alejandro Balde, and despite his strong performance in Milan, noticed a weak spot exploited by Inter in the Champions League final. Deco will have to choose whether he feels injuries to Bald and Kounde uncover Barcelona more than they could in their attacking trio in front.
