Barcelona plot blockbuster summer as they chase European glory
Fresh off a domestic clean sweepâLaâŻLiga, CopaâŻdelâŻRey, and the SuperâŻCupâBarcelona are heading into the summer window determined to turn that home success into ChampionsâŻLeague triumph.
President JoanâŻLaporta and sporting chief Deco are focused on giving their German manager the reinforcements he needs to raise the squadâs ceiling and compete with Europeâs 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 LamineâŻYamal. The 17âyearâold has dazzled this season, sparking fears he could be lured away. Deco insists there is âno issueâ with an extension: once Yamal turns 18 on 15âŻJuly, the new deal will be signed and announced.
With domestic dominance secured, Barcelona now want the final piece of the puzzle: lifting the ChampionsâŻLeague once moreâand theyâre prepared to make a headlineâgrabbing signing to get there.
