After consecutive defeats to PSG and Real Madrid exposed gaps at the back, Deco and Hansi Flick are pushing for an experienced centre-back who can make an immediate impact, with Gvardiol seen as the “dream” signing but Bastoni and Martínez viewed as more realistic options depending on finances. To fund any deal, Barcelona are open to selling Alejandro Balde, who has accepted he needs to leave for regular game time, with Manchester United, Liverpool and AC Milan all circling and the club demanding at least €40–45m, while Jules Koundé remains a possible sale if a big offer arrives. This video breaks down the full plan: who Barcelona want, how much each target would cost (Natan around €30m, Porro €70m), why Balde and/or Koundé could leave, and how the club’s tight salary cap and limited January budget (just €3–4m) mean sales must come first before any signing can happen.</p>","author_name":"BarcaBoy"}
