According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona's transfer strategy will not change despite their early exit from the Champions League this season.
Romano has backed Barcelona's project in his exclusive CaughtOffside column, despite the summer signings of world-class talents like Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha failing to help them progress in Europe's top club competition.
Joan Laporta appears to have taken a big risk that hasn't paid off, but Romano believes there's still time to win the La Liga title, so it's too early to declare the Catalan giants' project a failure.Of course, a big name like Barcelona will want to do more in the Champions League, but it's also early in their project under Xavi, so Romano doesn't expect the club's approach in the transfer market to change, with more signings to come."Barcelona made a lot of investments this summer, and their Champions League hopes are already over, but I don't think it will change the project," Romano said.
"They will continue to work on new signings in order to save some big salaries in 2023, rebuild the squad, and then pursue their idea."
Barcelona appears to be in need of some key reinforcements, with the club arguably still struggling to replace the golden generation of players such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, and Dani Alves.

Undefeated Union secures group win with victory in Malmö | UEFA Europa League 2022/2023
Union is already certain of a Europa League group win after five matchdays. At the start of the match in Malmö, it was clear that winning meant winning the group.
Coach Karel Geraerts emphasized the significance of this match ahead of time and communicated that message to his players.
Teuma was allowed to lash out from the edge of the sixteen after ten minutes and put the ball nicely in the goal. Union quickly rose, allowing it to control the rest of the game.Malmö couldn't hide the fact that the European was playing for nothing and was unable to create many chances. Turay (ex-STVV) and Rieks' timid attempts did not frighten Moris.
Vanzeir was sent deep again shortly before halftime. He still chose Malmö goalkeeper Diawara, but a few ball touches later, the score remained 0-2.
After a nice combination with Teuma, Lazare took possession of the ball in the sixteenth minute. With a nice kick across the corner, he put Union on the path to group victory.
At halftime, Lazare and Boniface were permitted to remain in the locker room with Union. Geraerts must have reasoned that a little extra rest can't hurt in these hectic football weeks.That decision worked out well. Except for a few corners and dropouts, Malmö couldn't be considered dangerous in the second half.
Buya Turay was the most notable Swede, with two plays in the opposing penalty area. Referee Reinshreiber refused to be caught.
Vanzeir, Lapoussin, and Nieuwkoop nearly put Union up 3-0. It remained 0-2 and 3 points for Brussels residents. As a result, they can prepare as a seed for the Europa League 1/8 finals.
