TA: Barcelona s signings have closed the window; Fermin/Casado doesn t want to leave; focus on solving the registration

Hupu August 5th News TheAthleticUK ace reporter David Ornstein led the weekly report.

What positions/players are still focusing on in Barcelona?

According to well-informed people in the club, Barcelona's signing work at this transfer window has been completed.

After Garcia, Szczesny, Rashford and Rooney join, Laporta and Deco are not expected to have big names this summer, and they are now focusing on player registration.

Ford is the only first-team player who is likely to leave. The 19-year-old right-back was replaced by Eric Garcia on Frick's roster, who performed well when asked to take the position last season.

Ford has little time to play, which prompted Barcelona and Frick to tell the player that it would be better to find a new club.

Although Ford had no intention of leaving at first, Barcelona's clear statement about his role made him reconsider it. The club is seeking a permanent sale, while planning to keep an eye on the defender through the buyback terms.

There are also many rumors in the local media about other players. Fermin Lopez and Mark Cassado are believed to have attracted the interest of overseas teams, and Barcelona is also very happy to listen to their offer.

However, the reality is that none of these players are going to leave—even if they know they are far from the start—and Frick is more than happy to keep them. Barcelona will not voluntarily request a sale, and club insiders have admitted that they have not considered a large-scale sale.

Frick will manage a team with a deep roster, which is certainly a luxury, but at the same time, it is also a management challenge for the Germans.
