Barcelona’s president has revealed plans to bolster the squad in the summer after a quiet winter transfer period. With the club’s financial situation on the up and the potential to operate under the 1:1 rule, Laporta is ready to make substantial investments to make the team more competitive under Hansi Flick.
As reported by El Nacional, Barcelona is focusing on strengthening their attack, particularly looking for a striker and a winger. Two key targets have emerged: Viktor Gyökeres and Rafael Leão.
With Robert Lewandowski nearing the end of his career, the club is in search of a strong, fast striker who can score goals—qualities Gyökeres brings to the table. The Sporting Lisbon forward has been in great form, and although his release clause stands at €100 million, Barcelona aims to negotiate a lower fee. His physicality, finishing, and movement align well with Flick’s tactical plans.
On the wing, Barcelona is seeking a game-changer, with Rafael Leão being a top candidate. The AC Milan star is known for his strength, dribbling, and ability to shine in one-on-one situations. However, securing Leão will be difficult, as Milan is hesitant to sell, and his price could be hefty.
The success of these signings will depend on Barcelona’s ability to offload players and cut down on wage costs. If the financial situation continues to improve, the club could pull off two major acquisitions to dramatically strengthen their attack for next season.
