FC Barcelona are aiming to strengthen their squad during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Although the club has faced significant financial struggles in recent years, their current situation has improved, making new signings far more realistic.
However, the Catalan club remain cautious not to repeat past mistakes.
The focus this time is on making strategic signings rather than splurging unnecessarily.
One area receiving immediate attention is the goalkeeping department, with talks reportedly progressing well between Barcelona and Espanyol’s Joan Garcia.
This suggests that the club are serious about refining key positions early on.
Barcelona’s sporting director Deco recently shed more light on their summer plans, as quoted by SPORT (via Barca Times).
According to him, the club’s first priority is to extend existing contracts, followed by a limited number of new signings: “After completing renewals, we will make 2, 3, or 4 signings.”
The club has already finalised extensions for Raphinha and teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, with the 17-year-old recently committing his future to the club until 2031—a move welcomed by fans and leadership alike.

Aside from the goalkeeping situation, the club are also reportedly in the market for a left-winger to improve overall team balance.
This suggests a targeted approach to recruitment, with only specific upgrades being considered to elevate the team.
As of now, Deco and the rest of the club’s leadership are keeping further details under wraps.
Still, what’s clear is that Barcelona plan to enter the transfer window with a refined strategy.
Head coach Hansi Flick, who exceeded expectations in his debut season at the helm, is expected to be backed in the market.
After proving his value, he looks set to be rewarded with new signings tailored to his tactical vision for the team.
