It was a really difficult institutional year for Joan Laporta inside Barcelona. The good start of the competition Barcelona On the sporting level, this hides the serious financial problems that the Barça club is experiencing. In another situation of results, Laporta would have been strongly questioned by the sporting management during the summer, which would have caused many victims and only two signings – one and a half if we count Dany Elm And? Paul Victor He was loaned to the reserve team last year. And he Barcelona of Laportafar from closing the signings for this season, has also failed to protect and immobilize the players in the squad with some of its renewals.
He Barcelona I couldn’t sign beyond that Dany Elma player they were only able to register thanks to various injuries and who is only registered until January, when they will have to earn money again if they do not receive new income, whether from sponsorships or sales of footballers. The registration of new signings, despite important departures such as those of Ilkay Gundoganwould have been impossible, as well as further renovations in this Barcelona of Laporta.
So in this case the Barcelona It has a good number of players who finish their contract in 2025 or 2026, the following year or the one after, although some of them also have the possibility of extending their contract with optional years as is the case of Inigo Martinez And Robert Lewandowskiwhich although they end next summer, have another additional year that is activated if they play a certain number of games, respectively 60% and 55%. The young player Gerard Martin It also ends in 2025.
In 2026, there is a large group of actors who Barcelona it is necessary to attach, some currently very heavy. one of them is Laminate Yamalwith a contract until 2026, but who already has a closed agreement until 2030 as soon as he reaches the age of majority. Similar cases to young people Andre Basin And Brand Bernal, with options to extend his contract until 2029.
But unlike those, the list grows with the rest of the players finishing in 2026. This list includes Gavi, Eric Garcia, Pedri, Paul Round, Ronald Araujo, Frenkie of Young, Andreas ChristensenInaki Grief, Astralaga And Hector StrongContacts have been made with some of them for their renewal, which is crucial in the project.
SO, 16 of 28 players that Barcelona has registered in the League terminates his contract next year (they would leave for free) or in 2026, that is, within two years. This means not having immobilized 57% of the staffbecause normally they work more than two years in advance and Laporta still has work to do to close the continuity of the team.
The renovations that Barcelona urgently needs
Among all these, the Barcelona works quickly to negotiate and close renewals of Pedri, Araujo And Of Youngin addition to one Fermin Lopez who also wants to be protected. In the case of the two Spaniards, the two youngest, there are already contacts with both in good agreement with a view to extending their contracts beyond 2026 and 2027, as key men of the future Blaugrana, two renewals that will increase and that It will also have to be part of the club’s fair play.
The case of Araujo And Of Young It is different, both end in 2026 and their renewals are somewhat entrenched, mainly because they involve adjustments to the contract, which they want to extend and defer to make things easier, something neither of them likes. The Uruguayan had already raised his voice before the Cup Americathat his agents would speak with the club, but there has been no progress in this regard and his injury is a headache… Of Young This continues to be a problem, even though the footballer seems proactive in pursuing and extending his contract.
