Laporta: Barcelona s active signing ends, the expected center signing is gone

Barcelona announced that the 2025 summer window will end. This means that if no key players leave the team or experience unexpected injuries, Barcelona will not sign and strengthen this summer, and are satisfied with the existing lineup Laporta.

This summer, Barcelona only strengthened two players, one of whom was the goalkeeper, signed 24-year-old goalkeeper Garcia from Espanyol, and the other was loaned to Rashford from Manchester United. In terms of transfer, Barcelona sent away three young players, Paul Victor, Alles Barracks and Pablo Torre, with a total income of 23 million euros, so Barcelona's investment in the entire transfer market was almost zero.

Laporta and Frick are satisfied with the current lineup. This season, Barcelona continued the main lineup last season, with only one more Rashford and Garcia. Barcelona's performance last season was undoubtedly successful, and the team's strength has also been recognized by the club. The rise of Lamacia's youth training has made Laporta very confident. Laporta said that a large number of young players will be activated next season, and reserve players will have more opportunities to play and exercise, discover players internally, save financial expenditures, and ensure the club's finances achieve sustainable development.

As for finding Lewandowski's successor, Barcelona has significantly slowed down, and the main reasons are as follows:

1. Nowadays, good centers are not only few but also expensive, and they are hundreds of millions at every turn. With Barcelona's financial situation, it is difficult to support it. At the same time, facing the salary cap issue, Barcelona is unwilling to sell their youth training, which is a wealth for Barcelona, and they will not sell it easily unless they have to.

2. Lewandowski has one year left in contract with Barcelona. Although he is 36 years old, he still maintains a high technical level. He still delivered 42 goals and 3 assists in 52 games last season, and has full starting strength. Moreover, the player's salary is more than 20 million euros, and it is a waste of resources for a substitute, so Barcelona's center position signings this season are not that strong.

3. The center position is not unacceptable. Last season's substitute surprise Ferrantors performed well and also had the strength to start the center. New player Rashford can also play No. 9, and Rafinia can also play No. 9. Therefore, there are no hidden dangers in the center position. All they lack is Lewandowski's successor. Only when Lewandowski decides to leave can Barcelona carefully consider the center signing.
