Guardiola gives the OK to the signing that will spark a revolution in Barca’s transfer market

Barcelona is seeking to bolster its squad for next season by signing new players to meet the demands of German coach Hansi Flick, who is seeking to strengthen several positions, most notably the left winger.

Barcelona’s most important deal this season has just fallen through, with Neco Williams seemingly set to sign for the Catalan club after the midfielder unexpectedly announced a contract renewal with Athletic Bilbao until 2035.

The main reason for the failure of Neco Williams’ transfer to Barcelona was the 22-year-old’s fear that the Catalan club would not be able to register him, as happened with Dani Olmo last season.

Barcelona is suffering from financial constraints due to Spain’s Financial Fair Play regulations, forcing it to move cautiously in the market and avoid making any major signings until it can offload some of its current players to free up space for new signings.

Barcelona has only officially announced one signing: goalkeeper Juan Garcia, who joined from Espanyol, marking the end of the Ter Stegen era and the beginning of a new era for the goalkeeper position.

Therefore, Marc-André ter Stegen may be in his final days as a goalkeeper with Barcelona, ​​and in this context, a new club has emerged with the financial and sporting might to complete the deal: Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola.

According to reports from England, the Catalan coach has agreed to Ter Stegen’s signing, given the doubts raised by the performances of both Ederson and Stefan Ortega last season. This deal, which is still in its preliminary stages, could represent a turning point in Barcelona’s plans and in the European market itself.

At 33, Ter Stegen has a solid reputation in Europe and is open to a new challenge, especially if it is confirmed that he will not be the first-choice goalkeeper at Camp Nou.

For its part, Barcelona is preparing to sell him, and may have a cash balance of between 10 and 15 million euros, which would allow the club to end this era on a high note and free up space in the salary scale, enabling it to revolutionize the market and sign a new world-class player.
