Joan Laporta has made some drastic changes already and now he is planning on bolstering Barcelona for the next season. With the transfer season upon us, not many would have thought that Barca would be one of the clubs with the most amount of additions to their squad however, Laporta has once again proven that he is a mastermind with a shrewd business tactic.

Instead of going for top-quality players who will cost the clubs millions in transfer fees and wages, Laporta has decided that the club should take a gamble at the free agents market. Eric Garcia, Memphis Depay, and Sergio Aguero, all have been brought to the Catalan side on free transfers and these are some top-performing players who have the potential to do very well for the club.
While the likes of Depay and Garcia were already very closely linked with the Catalans prior to Laporta’s presidency, it was Laporta who at the end of the day completed the deals. The president still has quite a few plans for the season and Barcelona’s transfer season may be far from over. Players such as Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe may be unrealistic, however, they continue to be linked to the club.
However, since the club has already signed a few players and are also expecting a few players to return from injuries, the first team could have quite a different look than last season. Today we will be looking at the first possible line-up for the next season if all of Laporta’s transfers go through.
