Barcelona target abandons summer move
Barcelona Transfer Plans Shift Towards Frontline
Barcelona’s transfer strategy has taken an unexpected turn as they shift their focus from full-back reinforcements to bolstering their attacking options. Initially, the club was eyeing potential right-back signings to compete with Jules Kounde, with players like Marc Pubill, Givairo Read, Andrei Ratiu, and Vanderson linked to the Blaugrana. However, recent performances by Eric Garcia at right-back have impressed the club, leading them to reconsider their transfer priorities.
Change in Barcelona’s Transfer Strategy
Director of Football Deco and manager Hansi Flick are now looking at potential attacking additions to improve the team’s depth. Recent reports suggest that Barcelona’s hierarchy is considering pursuing Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, despite facing salary limit constraints this summer. With limited budget available, the likelihood of making significant signings in multiple positions, including full-back, seems slim.
Barça will not force the departure of Ter Stegen, although Deco will talk to the German when the signing of Joan GarcÃa becomes official to explain his situation. @sport

Vanderson’s Barcelona Move Unlikely
One of the potential targets, Vanderson from AS Monaco, has reportedly shifted his focus away from joining Barcelona this summer. Despite being a favorite of Deco and possessing versatility that could benefit the team, Vanderson is now considering other options, including interest from the Premier League. It seems Barcelona will be exploring different avenues in the transfer market, leaving Vanderson to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
