The Spanish superclub Barcelona is already preparing for the upcoming season. A list of potential Catalan purchases has appeared in the Spanish media. At the top of the wishlist of "Barca" president Joan Laporta are Juventus striker David Trezeguet and Deportivo La Coruna's . Meanwhile, it seems that should leave the team after the season.
The Catalans have been interested in French national team striker Trezeguet for some time, but coach Frank Rijkaard is not fully decided - he thinks he is a bit static. This Frenchman seems to be the only possible option for the Catalan team, as "Arsenal" certainly will not sell Thierry Henry, just as "Man Utd" will not want to lose van Nistelrooy.
"Barcelona" would also like to buy Edgar Davids, who is currently on loan to "Barca" and is a very important figure in "Barca's" game. "Barca" also wants to buy Giovanni van Bronkhorst from "Arsenal", who is also on loan to the Catalan team this season.
The Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" claims that "Fenerbahce" is interested in Marc Overmars and Rustu Recber.
