Barça is regaining the credibility they had lost in recent years, and results are starting to come. Those from the Catalan capital have gone through sporting moments that aren't pleasant, but everything is improving. In economic terms, the Catalans have had a much harder time.
Thanks to the current board led by Laporta, Barça has gradually been regaining their economic power. Although it hasn't been an easy task, they're gradually strengthening the squad. One of Barça's former players isn't having a prominent role in his current team, but the culé president doesn't look favorably upon him.
Barça's situation and the new signings
Barça, despite not being able to sign everyone they'd like, is exploring different market options, and there are quite a few. Those from the Catalan capital have secured the arrival of Bardghji, who shows a lot of promise and is eager to succeed. In addition, the signing of Joan García has also been one of the reasons why the fans are very excited.
Laporta is building a very ambitious project, and the signing of Hansi Flick last summer was what marked the turning point. The German has perfectly understood Barça's DNA and is giving the necessary opportunities to the young academy players. The footballers are showing their best soccer, and everything suggests that great things are coming this year.
At this moment, Barça is searching the market for a "9" who can replace Robert Lewandowski when he retires. Coincidentally, Marc Guiu has lost the little prominence he had at Chelsea due to the new reinforcements. The English have many footballers in the squad, but Laporta won't allow an addition to his club.
Marc Guiu, the star who didn't want to shine
Marc Guiu stood out in his debut by scoring a goal as soon as he came on; an act that went around the world in just a few minutes. Despite his good minutes, he didn't have opportunities and ended up leaving for Chelsea after his release clause was paid. The English club paid the €6 million (6 million euros) that kept the striker at Barça.
Laporta doesn't forget, and Marc Guiu's return is unlikely; in fact, several sources place him on Ipswich's radar, a team in the English Second Division. Although we can't take anything for granted, it's difficult for the president to give him a second chance.
