As the January transfer window approaches, speculation about Barcelona’s potential moves continues to grow. However, according to SPORT, the club is not planning any major signings in January. Instead, Barcelona’s focus is on strengthening the squad in the summer of 2025, with no significant sales expected either.
Manager Hansi Flick and director Deco have already outlined a strategy for the upcoming summer, with a clear intention to reinforce three key positions: left-wing, right-back, and left-back.
### Left-Wing Reinforcements
Barcelona had aimed to bolster their left-wing last summer, with players like Nico Williams and Rafael Leao linked to the club. However, financial fair play restrictions prevented those deals from materializing. Despite this, the club is still keen to strengthen the position in 2025, with both Williams and Leao remaining on their shortlist. Additionally, Barcelona is keeping an eye on other potential targets such as Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane, Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi.
The club is also monitoring Mohamed Salah’s situation at Liverpool, with the Egyptian’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, making him a potential target for a free transfer.
### Full-Back Positions
Barcelona has also been seeking to strengthen their full-back positions. Last summer, they were unable to land Joao Cancelo on a permanent deal, and while Marc Pubill was considered, salary cap issues complicated the move. Despite the strong performances of Jules Kounde and the availability of Hector Fort, Barcelona remains determined to reinforce both full-back spots.
For the left-back position, Barcelona is looking to sign a top-tier player to complement Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin. One player they are closely monitoring is Alphonso Davies, who will be a free agent in 2025. While the Canadian international is a favorite of Flick, there are rumors linking him to Real Madrid as well. Other options under consideration include Alvaro Carreras and Hugo Bueno.
Barcelona’s transfer strategy for the summer of 2025 is focused on securing key reinforcements without making any drastic changes in January, as the club seeks to build a more balanced and competitive squad for the future.
