E-Noticies, @jlaportaoficial Official, Joan Laporta's plan comes to light: 4 gems and a $100M signing
Barça's president looks to the future with hope and optimism, with several names listed on his agenda
Joan Laporta is already personally working on the sports planning for next season. He believes the Barça locker room has a lot of talent thanks to Deco's tireless work and the constant drive of the young players who keep coming up from La Masia. However, he also knows perfectly well that to compete for all the titles, he needs a squad with more depth and offensive alternatives.
Aware of this scenario, Joan Laporta has spoken directly with Hansi Flick to analyze the team's needs. Although Barça has differential players in attack like Lamine Yamal or Raphinha, the German coach believes the performance shown by Rashford, Bardghji, and Ferran Torres can still improve. That assessment has led Laporta to activate the search for offensive solutions in the market, and it seems he has already found several candidates.
Joan Laporta's plan: 4 gems and a $100 million signing
After a thorough analysis, Joan Laporta has drawn up a list of five candidates who could strengthen the Catalan attack. Four of them are young talents in full development, and the fifth represents the president's great dream for months. This is a mixed strategy designed to combine future, immediate performance, and competitive growth.
The first name on the list is Antonio Nusa, a 20-year-old Norwegian winger from RB Leipzig who stands out for his speed, dribbling, and competitive maturity. Alongside him are Yan Diomande and Assan Ouédraogo, two strikers also from RB Leipzig, who have attracted Barça's interest due to their physical power and huge room for improvement. The fourth profile is Said El Mala, a 19-year-old winger from Cologne personally recommended by Flick for his ability to break down defenses.
Rafael Leão, Joan Laporta's main target
The last name on the list is the most high-profile and the most desired by Joan Laporta. Rafael Leão is the footballer the president considers ideal to lead Barça's offensive rebuild next season. His signing would be around $109 million (100 million euros), but the club sees it as a strategic investment capable of making a difference from day one.
Joan Laporta understands that Rafael Leão would bring imbalance, power, and goals, elements Barça needs to compete at the highest European level. His arrival would allow the club to complete a trident with complementary profiles and greater offensive depth. In addition, he would fit with the club's idea of once again having a star capable of deciding big matches.
It's still too early to know what decision Joan Laporta and Flick will make in the summer. Nusa, Diomande, Ouédraogo, and El Mala are young, dynamic profiles who would fit wonderfully into the Barça ecosystem. However, thanks to the latest agreements with Nike and some possible sales, the signing of Rafael Leão could become a reality.
