The leaders of the Catalonia club, who have recently been communicating with journalists using elusive phrases, are actively discussing the situation at the summer player market.
Changes are planned in the composition, but until new players join the team, other footballers will not leave. First up - Bojan Krkic.
According to "El Mundo Deportivo," club president Sandro Rosell, sports director Josep Maria Bartomeu, vice president for economics Javier Faus, and club technical secretary Andoni Zubizarreta participate in the ongoing consultations. Constant contact is maintained with the vacationing head coach Pep Guardiola, who receives all the necessary information about the negotiations.
It is believed that "Barcelona" is delaying closing the deal with "Roma" for Bojan Krkic until reinforcements arrive at the Catalan club.
The two most important purchases of this summer are "Arsenal" midfielder Cesc Fabregas and "Udinese" leader Alexis Sanchez.
Unofficially, "Barcelona" is offering 29 million euros upfront and an additional 6 million euros depending on the player's results to acquire the Catalan from the London team. For the Chilean, 26 million euros upfront and an additional 11 million euros in the future, depending on Sanchez's personal achievements, are being offered to the Italian team.
The possible deal for Fabregas is still unclear, while Udinese's president Giampaolo Pozzo, according to the media, hinted that Barcelona's offer "is still far from satisfying the Italian team."
Now the leaders of the Catalonia club will have to decide whether to make a new offer or look for another footballer who can strengthen Guardiola's team.
Another important topic of the consultations is the future perspectives of defender Henrique and forward Keirrison. The Catalan club paid 20 million euros for both of these players, who have not played a single official match for Barca. In 2008, the then president of "Barcelona," Joan Laporta, bought these players from the "Palmeiras" team through the "Traffic Sports" agency, which held the rights to the players. The elections-winning Rosell did not hide his dissatisfaction with these deals and promised to examine them carefully. According to "Sport.es," Barcelona's leaders have already contacted the Malachias brothers, who manage the agency, and asked to solve the issue of selling the players together.
This summer, "Barcelona" is also willing to sell the youth academy team's attacking leaders Jonathan Soriano and Jeffren Suarez. According to the latest reports, "Valencia" is interested in the latter player as a replacement for Joaquin.
