The 2 positions that Barcelona urgently needs to reinforce

FC Barcelona is facing one of its most urgent priorities regarding the summer transfer market: reinforcing the full-back positions. Despite having top-level starters like Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé, the team has been vulnerable due to the lack of quality options on the bench, a situation that was clear in the match against Rayo Vallecano. Hector Fort, who started ahead of Jules Koundé by technical decision, had a very weak performance, similar to what Gerard Martín has experienced throughout the season.

Barcelona urgently needs to strengthen the full-back positions

At the end of the match, Hansi Flick expressed his concerns to president Joan Laporta, emphasizing the need to secure substitutes with greater capacity to prevent the team from struggling during rest periods or rotations. The weaknesses shown by Fort and Martín could be costly for a Barcelona that aims to compete for all available titles and cannot afford a lack of depth in key positions.

The inability of these players to deliver the required performance puts pressure on the sports management to find suitable reinforcements. The option of signing backup full-backs with higher quality has become a priority for Barcelona, particularly if the team aims to maintain competitiveness throughout the season without solely relying on Balde and Koundé. With the transfer market around the corner, the search for solutions seems imminent.
