This summer, BARCELONA is preparing for a transfer blitz as they seek to add up to SEVEN new first team players.
Due to the club's debt, which exceeds £1 billion, the Catalan giants continue to face financial difficulties.
However, it doesn't seem to be deterring them from attempting to sign several well-known talents on the cheap.
When they play their first LaLiga match in August, they might have a nearly entirely different starting XI.
And given that the Spanish powerhouses have snatched up Chelsea's departing defenders, that may very well entail a complete change in their back four.
After being released by the Blues, Andreas Christensen appears likely to join the Nou Camp on a free transfer.
Cesar Azpilicueta, the club captain for Chelsea, and Marcos Alonso, a left defender who has apparently expressed a desire to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, may well join him.
Alongside Sevilla center-half Jules Kounde, Christensen might start in the middle of a back four.
The 23-year-old Frenchman appeared destined to sign with Chelsea last summer, but it now seems that Barcelona is interested in him.
After his contract with AC Milan ended at the end of the previous season, Franck Kessie is anticipated to be confirmed in the midfield.
Due to Frenkie de Jong's frequent rumors of moving to Manchester United, he will likely play in a midfield three with the young players Pedri and Gavi.
Additionally, it appears that the front three will also alter, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferrann Torres' chances to play for the first squad being jeopardized.
After expressing his intention to join Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski is anticipated to finalize his transfer from Bayern Munich.
Additionally, a surprise lunge for Bernardo Silva of Manchester City has been connected to the Catalan club.
As the team continues to reassemble, all of these agreements would provide Xavi's team a much-needed lift.
Toni Freixa, an ex-director of Barcelona, has asserted that Joan Laporta's desire to sign numerous players is a fabrication.
You're aware that Lewandowski, Kounde, Raphael, or Bernardo Silva won't be there, right? You're aware, right?
"I don't buy the news of Barcelona's signings," Freixa continued. They are openly offering smoke for sale.
I'm forced to caution folks that this won't happen since what they're saying conflicts with reality. If a player is sold, one might show up. The announcement that Bernardo Silva is coming sells significantly better. I'm a little against the grain, but if we want to sell the bike, let's sell it. In Barcelona, creating an illusion is practical right now.
