Deco defines Barça’s strategy for the winter transfer market

He FC Barcelona is still found 30-35 million euros of the norma 1-1 to be able to register all Fair Play generated last summer. The great priority of the Barça club for January 2025 is extend registration of Dani Olmo in the League before December 31expiration date of your license. For the rest, the director of the Football area, Decoplans to keep all the pieces in place. There is no need to touch what already works.

As we have been able to know in Culmaniathe sports management is working on new additions directly for the 2025 summer transfer market. The interest in Jonathan Taha market opportunity, is real. The club hopes to close it and get ahead of Real Madrid, but the operation will remain subject to the situation of the centrals of Barça. In the short term, no movements are expected in the imminent winter window. No signings, no departures.

Dani Olmo, priority

Although the club chaired by John Laporta He does not give so much importance to the dates, there are less than three weeks left for Dani Olmo’s registration to expire. And the General Regulations of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) prohibits registering it again with the Barcelona entity in this 2024-25 season.

“Footballers whose license is canceledthey will not be able, in the course of the same season, obtain a license in the same team of the club to which they were already linked“, dictates the article 126.5 of the regulations.

Until Barça reaches the situation 1-1 with the increase in income –the contract of Nike is not enough–, he will not be able to register his star signing in the competition permanently. The Catalan institution negotiates the entry of two new investors in the shares of Bridgeburg Investas well as the advance sale of a package of VIP stages of the future Camp Nou for the next 20 years.

Frenkie, patience

In the absence of signings, Deco will continue in the negotiation of renewals of various assets of the first template. Frenkie de Jongdiscussed due to his performance, his contract ends in June 2026 and receives the highest salary on the team: 25.2 million of gross euros per year, 19 kilos of base sueldo, 4.2 million bonuses fidelity and others 2 million plus for performance. This is without counting the amortization, still pending.

With a year and a half of contract pending, patience is the strategy to follow by the technical secretariat. The Dutch midfielder, one of the four captains, has just returned from his ordeal of injuries to his right ankle. His performance in the coming months will condition a hypothetical renewal.

Interest in Tah

Among the reinforcements planned for next summer, the Jonathan Tah, central represented by Pini Zahavi –like Lewandowski and Flick– whose contract with Bayern Leverkusen expires June 30, 2025. The defender’s agents 28 years They have already met in Germany with Deco, who got the operation back on track.

However, the situation of the rest of the Barça defenders will condition the signing. Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo y Eric Garcia The contract ends in June 2026. The contract Iñigo Martínezthe only left-handed defender, wins in June 2025with an optional year. The renewal will be a reality if the Basque defender plays more than 45 minutes in it 60% of the matches.

Deco also searches far left. The sports director has three top-level names on the agenda: Nico Williams, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Rafael Leao. The arrival of any of them could put them in check. Ferran Torres and mean direct competition for Raphinha. The midfield and the figure of the ‘9’ are also under the watchful eye of Deco, pending the evolution of players like De Jong y Victor Roque, inter alia.

Other future signings

By 2025, they are also looking for a pure right back to give competition to Jules Koundé in the lane. It is not ruled out that Araujo ended up taking center stage in that area during the second section of the current course. Among the future prospects, a more relevant name such as Jeremie Frimpong, and two other promises like Ivan Fresneda y Mark Pubill. For the left side, Bojan is monitoring the good season of Alex Valle in Celtic.
