With the closing days of the transfer window looming, Barcelona is intensifying its efforts to bolster the squad for the upcoming 2023/24 season.

After commencing their La Liga title defense with a draw against Getafe followed by a hard-fought victory over Cadiz, the team recognizes the need to strengthen the roster, particularly in the areas of a right-back position and an additional attacking threat.

Presently, Barcelona’s focus is centered on the pursuit of Manchester City’s full-back Joao Cancelo. The imminent signing of Cancelo is reportedly set to be announced within the week.

Up next: Joao Felix

Barcelona’s interest in Joao Felix has intensified following the Portuguese prodigy’s public expression of his dream to play for the Catalan club. However, securing his arrival won’t be straightforward, as per reports from journalist Santi Ovalle.Two critical factors will determine Barcelona’s pursuit of the Atletico Madrid forward. The first hinges on Clement Lenglet’s departure, which is in limbo due to his pursuit of better offers, along with the potential sale of an attacker.

Despite Ez Abde’s impressive start to the season and his favor with Xavi, recent reports suggest he could be the candidate for departure.The second factor revolves around the anticipated cash infusion from the German investment fund’s purchase of a stake in Barça Studios. This injection not only facilitates the registration of pending players but, following the completion of Joao Cancelo’s loan deal, also facilitates the progression of Felix’s signing. Completing this operation won’t be simple, as strategic player sales will be necessary to safeguard the club’s long-term financial stability.
