Barcelona already have their summer transfer plans in place, with the club aiming to secure three major signings ahead of next season, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
Barcelona Targets Three Major Signings Ahead of Next Season
The Catalan giants prioritize adding a top-class forward first. They identify Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez as their primary target.
However, Atletico Madrid’s interest in the Argentine could drive up his price. If Alvarez becomes too expensive, Barcelona will turn to alternatives including Dusan Vlahovic, Victor Osimhen, or Alexander Sorloth.
For the defense, Barcelona target a center-back to strengthen their backline. Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni sits in pole position for this role.
The Italian defender wants to play his part in making the move happen, giving the Blaugranes encouragement.
The third signing involves making Joao Cancelo’s stay permanent. The Portuguese fullback currently plays on loan at Camp Nou, but Barcelona want to keep him beyond this season.
They will work on extending his stay rather than letting him return to Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have not yet decided on Marcus Rashford’s future. If signing the English winger permanently proves unfeasible, the club will explore other options like Jan Virgili, Victor Munoz, Ez Abde, or Andreas Schjelderup.
With several weeks still remaining before the transfer window officially opens, Barcelona already show clear intent.
The club expects a busy summer as they build a stronger squad for next season. Fans can anticipate active negotiations across multiple positions, from attack to defense.
