Barcelona Remains the Only La Liga Team Yet to Make New Signings
FC Barcelona is currently the only team in La Liga that has not announced any new signings for the upcoming season, set to start in 17 days. The club's primary targets are Nico Williams and Dani Olmo, while they are also interested in retaining Joan Cancelo and closely monitoring Joao Félix. So far, the only confirmed addition is Hansi Flick as the new coach.
The Catalan club is hopeful of securing some signings during their tour in the United States, where they will play friendlies against Real Madrid and AC Milan. Negotiations for Dani Olmo have recently intensified, although no definitive agreement has been reached with RB Leipzig, which remains firm on the player's price.
Dani Olmo, a Spanish international fresh off winning Euro 2024, had a release clause of €60 million that expired on July 20. Although Leipzig is still seeking a figure close to that amount, Olmo has expressed his desire to join an ambitious project. Barcelona has been targeting Olmo since 2020, and the board is eager to finalize his signing as soon as possible.
Nico Williams from Athletic Club is another priority target for Barcelona. With a release clause of €58 million, the decision to sign him largely depends on the player. Williams is currently on vacation and is expected to make a decision about his future before the season starts.
Barcelona faces a challenging season ahead, with an urgent need to strengthen their squad to remain competitive in both the league and Europe. Fans eagerly await new additions that could bolster the team, while the club works against the clock to secure signings before the competition begins.
