Real Madrid’s triumph in clinching the league title marks a stark contrast to Barcelona’s dismal performance, leaving them empty-handed for the 2023/24 campaign.
The disappointing season has prompted Barcelona to initiate plans for a significant overhaul during the upcoming summer transfer window, with several star players likely to face scrutiny regarding their future at the club.
Five Players only considered untouchable.
According to a recent report by Diario AS, Barcelona could be on the brink of a mass clearoutmass clearout, particularly if they fail to secure a second-place finish in the league.
The club has identified only five players as untouchables, indicating their indispensable role in the Barcelona project.
Leading the list of untouchables is Pau Cubarsi, the emerging young talent who has established himself as one of the premier defensive prospects globally.
Cubarsi’s importance to the team ensures his departure is not up for consideration, underscoring Barcelona’s commitment to retaining key assets.
While defensive duo Jules Kounde and Ronald Araujo could potentially be on the market, Barcelona remains adamant about retaining the services of Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Despite a slight dip in form compared to the previous season, Ter Stegen’s significance as the team’s goalkeeper remains unwavering.
In midfield, Barcelona is set on keeping Gavi, but Pedri surprisingly fails to secure a spot on the list of untouchables. Concerns over Pedri’s recurring injury issues cast doubt on his future at the club, with Barcelona potentially open to parting ways if his fitness concerns persist.
Fermin Lopez‘s breakout performances this season have solidified his status as an untouchable, with his ability to deliver in crucial moments earning him recognition within the club.
Additionally, Lamine Yamal emerges as a pivotal figure in Barcelona’s future plans, with expectations for him to spearhead the club’s frontline in the years ahead.
Yamal’s burgeoning talent has positioned him as a leading candidate to inherit the iconic number ten jersey, symbolizing Barcelona’s trust in his ability to shape the team’s attacking identity.
As Barcelona braces for a transformative summer, the club’s strategic decisions regarding player departures and acquisitions will shape their aspirations for reclaiming glory in the seasons to come.
