The transfer market of FC Barcelona is heating up and keeping a close watch during the 2026 World Cup, although with no intention of closing deals immediately. The Barcelona sporting management is working calmly but not standing still: calls, meetings, and constant contacts are part of Deco's daily routine, who aims to anticipate any opportunity.

A meeting in Barcelona took place with the agent Javi Garrido and Javi Guerra's father, who traveled from Valencia to meet with the Barcelona sports director. According to the parties involved, the meeting was of a footballing and informal nature, with no open negotiations or proposals on the table.

FC Barcelona and Deco Keep an Eye on Javi Guerra

The name of Javi Guerra resurfaced during the conversation. This is not surprising. The Valencia midfielder has previously been on Barça's radar, and his progress continues to be highly regarded within the Blaugrana club.

The 23-year-old player has a contract until 2029, a market value close to 25 million euros, and a release clause set at 100 million euros. It is a complex operation, but his profile fits what FC Barcelona usually seeks in midfield: physicality, range, goal-scoring ability, and the capacity to break lines.

The presence of his father at the meeting was noteworthy but has an explanation. He is part of the agency that represents the player, so his role in such conversations is natural. Additionally, the player's surroundings have recently conveyed that Javi is content in Valencia and there is no clear intent to leave.

Deco Also Inquired about Kangin Lee

The meeting did not only revolve around Javi Guerra. The discussion also touched on Kangin Lee, a PSG player who is generating significant activity in the market. The South Korean international is of particular interest to Atlético Madrid, but his situation was also commented on by the Barcelona sports area.

Regarding Kangin Lee, there are no planned offensive moves or open negotiations. The interest currently lies in understanding his current context, his sporting role in Paris, and the conditions surrounding a potential departure. It is merely an inquiry within a broad agenda.

The 25-year-old player is under contract with PSG and possesses an attractive profile due to his technical quality, versatility, and ability to operate between attacking midfield and the flanks. Nonetheless, FC Barcelona does not seem inclined to engage in a bidding war at this time.

La Masia Gains Importance in the New Blaugrana Plan

Another point discussed was the monitoring of young footballers represented by Garrido's agency, including Tommy Marqués. This aligns with the new work dynamic promoted by Deco and João Amaral, who are increasingly involved in scouting and overseeing young talent.

The club's idea is not solely about signing big names but also about strengthening the youth structure and identifying opportunities before the market escalates them. In a financially constrained scenario, this work is as vital as any first-team operation.

Javi Guerra, a Name to Monitor Without Immediate Action

Barça understands the need to avoid impulsive actions. The financial situation necessitates measuring each step and distinguishing between market inquiries and actual negotiations. Therefore, all parties emphasize conveying a message of calmness.

Javi Guerra is admired, but there is no prepared offer. Kangin Lee was discussed, but there is no offensive stance either. And Deco continues to build an information network that may prove decisive later on.

The transfer window is still long, and FC Barcelona aims to be well positioned should a favorable opportunity arise. For now, the meeting confirms one thing: the club is not making signings but is indeed working. And in that tracking list, Javi Guerra once again holds a prominent place.
