FC Barcelona already has an ambitious plan on the table for the summer market: to reinforce with three key signings, finalize two significant sales, and contemplate a strategic sacrifice to regain financial stability, according to Nacional.

Three key signings: left-sided defender, versatile full-back, and top striker

At Camp Nou, Deco and Flick have defined priorities: a high-level left-sided center back, a versatile full-back, and an elite center forward to replace Lewandowski. With the departure of Íñigo Martínez, Barça aims to regain that left-profile and names like Nico Schlotterbeck or Gonçalo Inácio are already being linked.

In the full-back position, the search focuses on someone to compete with Jules Koundé. Players like Vanderson and Andrei Ratiu are being considered to cover that area that has sometimes been left unprotected.

Lastly, the most costly signing will be the center forward. The most mentioned names are Julián Álvarez or Erling Haaland, with other options like Serhou Guirassy or Etta Eyong also in Barça's considerations.

Departures: Christensen and Dani Olmo on the way out

To finance these signings and reduce wage bill, Barça already has the first departures clear. Andreas Christensen will not renew: his contract is expiring and the club has shown no interest in extending it. Additionally, his physical and sporting inconsistency has contributed to this decision.

Another strong potential departure is Dani Olmo. Despite the recent investment in his arrival, his performance has not fully satisfied, and from the Barcelona board, he is considered an asset to sell if an attractive offer arrives. In fact, the summer of 2026 emerges as a key point to decide his future.

Gavi: the most painful sacrifice

Perhaps the most controversial decision would be to let go of Gavi. The homegrown talent has been a pillar in the Barça project, but his knee injury and recent surgery have slowed his progression. Faced with the risk of diminishing value, Deco and Laporta are considering offering him before his valuation drops further.

Gavi extended his contract until 2026, but his delicate current situation makes him one of the most challenging names to handle. His potential remains intact, though the club seems determined to prioritize financial stability.

Is this plan feasible for Barça?

To execute these moves, FC Barcelona will depend not only on offers for Christensen and Olmo but also on Gavi generating a substantial income if he departs. Additionally, negotiations for the top priority signings must adapt to the new economic situation, which now puts the club in a better position to make bold investments.

Failing to secure these departures or convince the sacrificial player could jeopardize the plan. Nevertheless, the message has been sent: Barça aims to overhaul the squad and project for 2026 with a more aggressive approach.

In conclusion, FC Barcelona faces the upcoming market with overflowing ambition: three reinforcements, two strategic exits, and a sacrifice that will sting. The developments of Christensen, the fate of Dani Olmo, and the decision regarding Gavi will be crucial pieces in this Blaugrana puzzle.
