Despite their good season, FC Barcelona is looking to strengthen certain positions, and Joan Laporta has identified the goalkeeper and the wingers as priority needs. There has been much talk about Joan García or Luis Díaz in recent days, but the reality is that there is much more.
Thanks to Joan Laporta's work, Barça can now sign players as usual. Looking ahead to this summer, there could be a lot of movement in the offices at Camp Nou. Due to the team's good season, several players could leave, bringing in a significant amount of millions, which could allow for new signings to arrive.
Pedri's friend becomes an option
As we said, in principle, the only interest is in strengthening the goalkeeper position and the offensive area. However, Joan Laporta also can't let transfer market bargains slip by. Players at a laughable price who can improve the Barça squad.
Joan Laporta has already told Pedri that Celta de Vigo is offering €14 million for his friend and that Barça won't enter the bidding. We're talking about Alberto Moleiro, the midfielder from UD Las Palmas whom many compare to Pedri. Meanwhile, Barça had already been following him closely for some time.
The agreement between Moleiro and Barça was closed a couple of seasons ago, but his high release clause prevented any deal, as it cost €60 million. Now, with the relegation, Alberto Moleiro's price has plummeted and Celta is betting on his signing. This is a situation Joan Laporta is aware of, but he has no intention of reacting to it.
Alberto Moleiro, the best of Las Palmas
The 2024-2025 season for UD Las Palmas has been marked by relegation to the Second Division, but also by the consolidation of Alberto Moleiro as a key figure for the team. At 21 years old, the Tenerife native was the player with the most minutes played.
In addition, Alberto Moleiro was the team's top scorer with six goals, standing out for his ability to create play and take on responsibilities in critical moments.
Moleiro excelled in decisive matches, such as the draw against Alavés and his performance against Real Betis, where he was the MVP of the match. His leadership was evident when he wore the captain's armband for the first time, showing maturity and commitment to the team.
The "10" of UD Las Palmas was recognized as the best under-23 player in LaLiga in September, surpassing talents like Lamine Yamal. His market value soared to €25 million, attracting the interest of Spanish and English clubs.
