Hupu, August 9th According to the Spanish media Daily Sports, Barcelona coach Frick will still not close the door to signing this summer. Although the German believes that the team's lineup has almost been perfect, Barcelona is studying the market for centre-backs that can play as full-backs.

Inside Barcelona, they already feel that August will be busier than expected. The club knows that some players in the team may get quotes from other clubs, and the sports management and Frick have previously decided to stop signings due to the club's economic problems, but now since the team's central defender Inigo is about to leave, no possibility is ruled out at this time. The plan is to try to continue this state into January, but as long as the economic conditions are right, they are studying the market in case opportunities arise.

It is reported that Barcelona coach Frick made a request to the club management this summer to introduce a goalkeeper and a winger. The two signing targets were successfully reached in July, which satisfies Frick. However, considering the injury troubles encountered by the team last season and the severe situation of Barcelona facing multi-line combat in the new season, Frick also proposed to strengthen the position of the full-back. In addition, Daily Sports mentioned that after Inigo Martinez suddenly left the team, Barcelona still needed to introduce another central defender.

Due to the financial difficulties of the Barcelona club, both Barcelona management and Frick had considered ending this stage of signing work early, and planned to wait until January next year to observe the transfer market to see if there is a suitable defender. But after Inigor Martinez left, Barcelona began to study the transfer market trends again. If there is a suitable opportunity, they also hope to introduce a new defender.

Barca's current focus is on those potential defenders who are competent as full-backs and central defenders. Currently, there are only four central defenders left in Barcelona, among which Eric Garcia has been playing mainly right-back since the second half of last season. During this summer's warm-up match, Barcelona even arranged full-back Gerald Martin to play a cameo as a central defender.

However, "Everything" also stated that Barcelona director Deko and coach Frick are not willing to blindly buy people for the sake of signings, and they hope to introduce truly powerful new players. Otherwise, Barcelona would rather put their hopes on youth team players. If that's true, then the two young players, Jofrey Torrence and central defender Andres Cuenca, will receive more attention in the new season.
