Barça for next season is already starting to take shape and, therefore, the usual summer transfer market shuffle has already begun in the Catalan city. Several files are on the table, but in recent hours the one for Iñigo Martínez has been opened, who will leave Barça for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

To begin with, the first "signing" will be a youth team player from the reserves who will be promoted with Flick for good. This is Andrés Cuenca, who has already debuted and is a regular in first-team training sessions, although this year he didn't do preseason with Flick.

In addition to Cuenca's signing, Barça is preparing €75 million ($75 million) to surprise Inter Milan. Laporta wants Alessandro Bastoni, 26-year-old Italian defender who has a great relationship with Lamine Yamal: the signing is complicated, but Barça has money and wants to bring joy.
