- The Barça club is now focused on shielding Roberto, Balde, Iñaki Peña, Dembélé, and Busquets, which is the most difficult
- In Camp Nou they have established negotiations and contacts with everyone and some operation would already be advanced
Barca News Today
Barça is now directing its work toward resolving the pending renovations. In January, the sports management closed an agreement with Marcos Alonso for one season plus an optional one and managed to register Gavi as a first-team player with a number through the courts. Araujo will have to wait until summer but he has already been armored. At Camp Nou, he now has to solve other important renewals, such as those of Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto, Alejandro Balde, Iñaki Peña, and Ousmane Dembélé, just as high-priority.
Xavi Hernández is committed to everyone’s continuity, which he has already commented on in public. In offices they have opened negotiations with four of them and the only thing left to do is finalize the offer to Captain Busquets, who has not yet received it and which will be the most difficult case to resolve. Everything depends on your decision to continue or try the adventure in other leagues and on other continents. As of today, as MD has learned, the midfielder is leaning towards a change of scenery, possibly to Major League Soccer before Saudi Arabia. American football is the next step for his friend Messi and the two have already planned a landing at Inter Miami. There have been negotiations with the Americans, but an economic agreement is not easy.

Busquets shares an agent, Josep Maria Orobitg, with Sergi Roberto. The versatile youth squad player has already received the official proposal: a season with the same card plus another optional depending on the matches played. An unaffordable amount given what he is participating. The player is studying it and has not yet answered, neither for better nor for worse.
The deal with Iñaki Peña seems to be ready. His representative, Abde’s, has been negotiating for some time. The goalkeeper renewed in 2018 until 2021 including a clause for a couple of more seasons that has already been used and that ends in 2023. At 23, he is the great hope of home to take over from Ter Stegen. He came to La Masia in 2012.

The one from Balde is also taken for granted, although his representative, Jorge Mendes, has not yet given his approval to the documentation that Barça has sent him. The young Barça left back, one of the sensations of the season, ends his contract in 2024 and the club considers him an asset that must be secured by shielding his contract, although his termination clause is an unaffordable 500 million euros. Ousmane Dembélé has already been called to go through the office.
Mateu Alemany, the soccer director, and Jordi Cruyff, the sports director, had other similar issues on their hands that they had already resolved, such as Memphis Depay and Héctor Bellerín, both already at Atleti and Sporting.
