"Barcelona's thoughts seem to be turning to the summer transfer window and how to strengthen the squad for the 2026-27 campaign. According to Diario Sport, the two positions that have emerged as the greatest priority are center-back and center-forward, and Barcelona have now decided that it is the attack which is the top focus. The report says that finding a new center-forward is the "absolute priority" and seen as "more important" that bringing in another defender."
"The return to action of Ronald Araujo seems to be one reason for this stance, while the club are also considering renewing Andreas Christensen for another year. Throw in Eric Garcia, Jules Kounde and Gerard Martin, and it seems Barcelona now think they are pretty well covered when it comes to central defence. In attack it's slightly different, particularly as Robert Lewandowski will turn 38 this summer and it's still not known if he will continue for another year."
Barcelona's transfer planning focuses on strengthening the squad for the 2026–27 season, with the center-forward position elevated above center-back as the primary need. Finding a new center-forward is described as an "absolute priority" and considered more important than signing another defender. Ronald Araujo's return reduces urgency at centre-back, and Andreas Christensen is being considered for a contract renewal. Eric Garcia, Jules Koundé and Gerard Martínez provide additional central-defensive cover. Attack concerns are amplified by Robert Lewandowski turning 38 this summer and uncertainty over whether he will continue another year.
