According to the Spanish newspaper "Marca", at the top of the most desired summer signings list are two forwards - attacking leader Julio Baptista and star Thierry Henry.
The club president Joan Laporta seems to prefer the French national team star Thierry Henry, who, according to the president, is a great player. However, there are doubts whether the leader of the Spanish championship will be able to satisfy the transfer fee requested by "Arsenal". Meanwhile, Txiki Begiristain, the club's director, is eyeing the Brazilian who has been performing well in the "Sevilla" team and has already scored 17 goals this season.
It is almost certain that next season the Catalonia team will be represented by Marc van Bommel and Santiago Ezquerro. Since both of these players are likely to arrive in Spain without a transfer fee, as their contracts with current clubs will expire in the summer, it is said that "Barca" may not hesitate to spend large sums of money to acquire J.Baptista or T.Henry.
Meanwhile, the main contender to strengthen the team's defense is defender Gabriel Milito.
