FC Barcelona is on the verge of securing two high-profile signings next week, aiming to bolster their squad.
Manager Hansi Flick wants to build on a domestic double last season, addressing key positions to keep the club competitive in both La Liga and Europe.
President Joan Laporta and Sporting Director Deco are working under the same financial constraints teams have had in the past; however, FC Barcelona has latched on to the benefits of La Liga’s improved 1:1 Financial Fair Play Rule in pushing their efforts to make these moves.
The two players set to join FC Barcelona are winger Nico Williams and talented Roby Bardghji.
Nico Williams is a star in La Liga for Athletic Club, and his €62 million release clause is expected to be activated this week, around July 1 or July 2, as per football-espana.
Williams will add pace and creativity to the FC Barcelona squad. Roby Bardghji is a talented young winger who has been with FC Copenhagen and is an expected €2-3 million signing.
Bardghji is likely to share minutes with the Barca Atletic team along with the FC Barcelona squad, which will add depth and a future need as a player in La Liga.
These signings are a reflection of FC Barcelona’s strategy of signing well-known players in conjunction with emerging talent.
To finalize these arrivals, it is possible Barcelona will have to shift players, including Ansu Fati or Inaki Peña, as part of FFP, as dealing with the respective salary cap will be essential for a clean registration process with La Liga.
With the transfer window opening on July 1, it is encouraging to see the club already entering to transfer market, demonstrating they will back up their current success from last season.
With negotiations entering their last phase ahead of final signings, excitement continues on how the new recruitment will add to another season of silverware for the 2025-26 season.
