Joan Laporta gives the order, double signing in Germany, maximum happiness for Barça

Joan Laporta, with decisions as controversial as they are bold,  has managed to return FC Barcelona to a scenario of competitive stability. He was the one who decided to part ways with Xavi and hand the project over to Hansi Flick, a move that at the time raised doubts, but today few question. The team competes, grows, and gives the impression of being ready once again to fight for every title.

In addition to choosing the right coach, Joan Laporta also exerts direct influence on sports planning. Deco works the market all year, but the main guidelines always go through the presidential office. Meanwhile, after several meetings with Flick and Deco himself, the president has already given the green light to two priority operations that are aimed directly at the Bundesliga.

Joan Laporta is in love with Harry Kane

The first name is Harry Kane, one of the best "9"s in the world over the past decade. The Bayern striker keeps absolutely elite scoring records and would fit perfectly into Flick's vision. According to rumors, the Englishman would be very open to ending his career at a historic giant like Barça.

The operation would have an obvious symbolic and sporting component. Just as Lewandowski moved from Munich to Barcelona, Harry Kane would follow exactly the same path, but in a different context and with a younger Barça. Joan Laporta's idea is for the Englishman to arrive to lead the project in the short term while Lamine Yamal, Fermín, and Cubarsí fully break through.

Alejandro Grimaldo, the second wish of Joan Laporta

The second major target decided in Camp Nou offices is Alejandro Grimaldo. Trained at La Masia, his departure without debuting for the first team has been felt as a thorn in the side for the Barça community. Now, after breaking through first at Benfica and then establishing himself at Bayer Leverkusen, Grimaldo has placed himself among the best left-backs in Europe.

With Alejandro Grimaldo, Barça would gain a key asset in building from the back and in positional attack. His numbers in goals and assists from the full-back position are those of an attacking midfielder, something the team needs to break down closed defenses. In addition, his experience in the Bundesliga and European competitions fits with that idea of mixing youth and maturity that Laporta and Deco are so eager to find.

A new Barça for 2026

However, the arrival of Harry Kane and Alejandro Grimaldo would force painful decisions. The first major victim of the move would be Robert Lewandowski, who would see the club betting on a younger "9", currently more complete and in better physical condition.

On the left flank, something similar would happen with Gerard Martín. The academy graduate has shown good intentions, but his performance is far from the level of demand set by a Barça that wants to dominate Europe again. Compared to a Grimaldo who has already proven to be decisive in a major league, the comparison is devastating.
