"Renewals were the priority. Consolidating the team for the coming years. Injuries are a factor, but we've been overcoming them. It's very difficult for the winter transfer window to work well," he told Què T'hi Jugues. "We're not in a bad position to make decisions in January. I don't think it's necessary to bring anyone in. Nor do I think anyone needs to leave."
"I understand the speculation. There will always be some at Barcelona. But now is not the time to talk about signings," he added. "We shouldn't be obsessed with the center forward. Lewandowski has given us a lot and can still give us more. We haven't discussed a possible contract renewal. [Rashford] It's not decided yet. It's not the right time to address this. We're happy with him; he's giving us a lot. We have time to decide."
Renewals were prioritized and the plan focuses on consolidating the team for the coming years. Injuries have been a factor but have been managed, and the winter transfer window is regarded as difficult to make work effectively. The club is not in a poor position to make January decisions and there is no perceived need to sign or sell players during the window. Speculation around attacking signings exists but no decisions have been taken. There is no current obsession with finding a new center forward; Lewandowski remains productive and contract talks have not been held. Rashford's future is undecided but there is time to decide.
