aAlthough it is only midway through the season, Barcelona’s sports management is already working on building a squad for next season. Although not 100% decided yet, a roadmap has been drawn up for the attacking players. One of the big problems facing Deco, which is true in virtually every market, is the uncertainty of whether clubs can achieve financial fair play and participate in the one-on-one rules. It is predicted that this will happen in the summer market.
There are two players that the club has high expectations for and who they would like to bond with for the future. One of them is Marcus Rashford. The club are satisfied with his performance and intend to exercise his €30 million buyout option at the end of the season. Sports Management believes this is a very good market price, but it remains to be seen how the season will end.

Great season for Ferran Torres
Another player they would like to renew is Ferran Torres, whose contract expires in 2027. Negotiations have not started so far, but the club’s idea is to extend his contract. His season is going well and they are happy with his performance. It remains to be seen what the player’s intentions are, as his value has increased significantly in recent months. He scored again on Thursday against Santander.
Lewandowski in trouble
Robert Lewandowski’s future is less uncertain. The club is refraining from commenting until the end of the season. The Polish performance is good. He’s scoring goals and perfectly envisions himself no longer being a regular starter on the team. The problem is that he turns 38 in August. His salary is very high, and while it would be significantly reduced if he stayed, it would still be a significant expense, especially for a player who is increasingly affected by injuries. And let’s not forget that other countries, such as Saudi Arabia and the United States, are willing to pay a lot of money for him.
contract with striker
Therefore, it is unlikely that he will stay. That’s why sports executives are already prioritizing signing top strikers over centre-backs and full-backs. If Barça are on a one-on-one rule, he is ready to make a big deal. And this is where the dance of names begins. Because there are several candidates.
julian alvarez and cain
Julian Alvarez remains a target. Admittedly, he hasn’t had a great season, but he is a very popular striker with sports management and coach Hansi Flick. It will not be easy as it is a hefty contract worth around 100 million euros. Another option is Harry Kane, who has a release clause of €65 million, according to various sources.
Other options
Bayern players are having a great season. This will also be an expensive move, as the player’s annual salary will total around 25 million euros, in addition to the 65 million euro termination fee. And to make matters worse, the German club is forcing him to renew his contract. In that case, there would be other more affordable options such as Vlahovic or Guirasy, but these would come if the club were not in the 1-on-1 rule. There are still several months left before a final decision is made.
