Barcelona hierarchy set to hold urgent meeting to discuss market ins and outs

According to SPORT, an urgent meeting has been scheduled today involving Barcelona president Joan Laporta, manager Xavi, and the rest of the sports administration led by Mateu Alemany and Deco.

The meeting will discuss the market ins and outs for Barcelona during the remainder of the summer transfer window.

They will also discuss Barça’s roadmap in the transfer market and the new contracts to be offered.

Who are joining Barcelona?

A major part of the meeting will revolve around Barcelona’s market acquisitions. There is a clear message that the club have not added enough reinforcements ahead of the new season.

With that in mind, the La Liga champions are likely to discuss the feasibility of signing a new right-back. The club are reportedly closing in on the capture of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City.

The possibility to sign a new midfielder and a winger will also be discussed. Xavi, in particular, has doubled down on his desire to sign a new attacker following the Ousmane Dembele links.

The Barcelona coach, no doubt, will press hard for new signings as he looks to assemble his squad ahead of the new season.

Barcelona set to discuss potential exits

The urgent meeting was scheduled shortly after Ousmane Dembele’s projected move to Paris Saint-Germain which caught the club completely off-guard.

While Dembele looks all set to move to the French capital, the Barça management will discuss the feasibility of offloading other first-team stars.

That could include Sergino Dest, with Barcelona reportedly considering terminating the contract of the American international.

The cases of Franck Kessie and Clement Lenglet will also be addressed in the meeting on Thursday.

After all, the exit of these unwanted stars could go a long way in helping Barcelona sign their top targets in the ongoing summer transfer window.
