Barcelona have already secured the signings of two free agents, Joan Laporta says, and Leeds United winger Raphinha could be their next recruit.
Rejuvenated under Xavi, Barca are now setting in motion their plans for the transfer window at the end of the season.
In an interview with RAC1, president Laporta suggested the Blaugrana would struggle to afford Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe and ruled out a return for Lionel Messi.
But he did have positive news for Barca fans, too, revealing: “We have closed two players who end their contracts this season.”
It is widely thought Laporta’s comments relate to Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen – unable to renew terms at Stamford Bridge due to government sanctions – and Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.
A welcome sight!
