The transfer market hasn't started yet, but in the offices of FC Barcelona there's already movement. With the future of several players hanging in the air, the sports management is looking for reinforcements that balance talent, price, and projection. In that equation, an old acquaintance has reappeared. For months, the club's priority has been to find a left winger who provides dribbling and verticality. The lack of depth on the left wing has penalized the team at key moments. Top-level names have been considered, but economic limitations have forced them to look at other options. Impossible prices and more realistic alternatives Barça considered players like Rafael Leao or Luis Díaz, but their salaries and clauses, above 80 or even 100 million euros, made the sports management back off. With financial fair play still conditioning every decision, past mistakes can't be repeated.
