E496: Barça sporting directors 2025-26 (Part II)
🕑 Added 2025-06-03 14:04:17 +0000 UTCWith outgoings discussed, how do Barcelona improve a squad which is developing such a strong spine?
Toni, Rik and Sam discuss how much money they may be able to raise, the developing goalkeeper situation with Joan García, whether they would add any defenders or midfielders and how they would bolster an attack that has key starters but needs more depth.
SP!

Very legitimate points! We make take some of these to build into the next Q&A.
Paul LeVine
Great pod(s), gents. But while I agree that a Rashford loan, Garcia (Joan) signing, and maybe a backup center back signing feels likely, I'm concerned that none of those actually helps us get closer to a CL trophy! I'd argue that we had plenty of firepower in attack and decent-enough goalkeeping from Tek this year, but where did we fall short? Our back line! And I'm not sure that a backup center back will necessarily help us here. It seems that we need a high-quality, tall, technical, and speedy defender more than anything else: a Van Dijk-like signing when Virgil first signed with Liverpool, for example. That addition plus a little bit more realism in crucial moments (i.e., a little bit deeper back line) would serve us much better IMHO.
