Barcelona plot blockbuster summer as they chase European glory
Fresh off a domestic clean sweep—La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Super Cup—Barcelona are heading into the summer window determined to turn that home success into Champions League triumph.
President Joan Laporta and sporting chief Deco are focused on giving their German manager the reinforcements he needs to raise the squad’s ceiling and compete with Europe’s elite. Smart, targeted signings are the order of the day as Barça look to build on their momentum.
On the contract front, Deco moved to calm any nerves about teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. The 17‑year‑old has dazzled this season, sparking fears he could be lured away. Deco insists there is “no issue” with an extension: once Yamal turns 18 on 15 July, the new deal will be signed and announced.
With domestic dominance secured, Barcelona now want the final piece of the puzzle: lifting the Champions League once more—and they’re prepared to make a headline‑grabbing signing to get there.
