BREAKING: Barcelona are set to complete three more signings this summer, with Bernardo Silva’s move agreed.
For FC Barcelona, the current summer transfer window has been one of the most notable ones in recent memory.
Over the past few months, the Blaugrana have added some incredible players, including Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Jules Kounde, in addition to extending Ousmane Dembele’s contract.
The registration of the aforementioned players presented some challenges, but they were able to get past it by pulling the fourth economic lever.
And as we approach the final two weeks of the transfer window, Barcelona is gearing up for one last flourish as they try to give Xavi a world-class team that could help him defeat Real Madrid this season.
Barcelona wants to add three more players to their roster before the summer transfer window closes, according to Gerard Romero.
The La Liga giants are looking to add protection and competition for Jordi Alba at left-back, and they have Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso on their radar.
The Spaniard’s transfer is all but finalized and could be announced this week. According to some reports, Barça might even have him available for their La Liga match against Real Sociedad on Sunday.
The next name is Bernardo Silva, which is possibly the most thrilling for fans. The international player from Portugal has long been a top target for Xavi and Joan Laporta. Although it might be difficult to acquire him from Manchester City, Barcelona appears confident in their ability to do so.
Before the window closes, Barça wants to add a new right-back in addition to Silva and Alonso.
By leaving Sergino Dest off the roster for the season opener against Rayo Vallecano, Xavi made it abundantly clear that he does not rely on the player.
Therefore, a new player is required for the position. The Blaugrana have already prepared a shortlist of five potential candidates, which includes Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka of Manchester United.
Barcelona intends to add three more players, but registration may once again be a problem. As a result, the club may need to sell more than one player before the transfer window closes while also attempting to reach salary agreements with a few of its stars.
