Barcelona is gearing up for what promises to be their most significant summer transfer window in years, but before they can dive into the market for new signings, key decisions on current players must be made. Sporting director Deco has been working behind the scenes to prepare the Catalan club for the summer, but his plans hinge on head coach Hansi Flick's approval. With Flick laser-focused on securing the La Liga title this weekend—a feat that could be achieved if Real Madrid loses in El Clásico at the Spotify Camp Nou—no final decisions have been made yet.
Flick hasn't signed off on any transfer targets for Deco to pursue, nor has he decided the fate of several current players. According to MD, three key cases need resolution: loanees Joao Cancelo and Marcus Rashford, as well as star striker Robert Lewandowski. Cancelo, currently on loan from Al Hilal, is expected to be a target for a permanent move, though Barcelona will also explore options if he becomes a free agent. Rashford's situation is murkier, with a return to Manchester United looking increasingly likely.
As for Lewandowski, Flick has confirmed discussions about a potential renewal, which could extend the veteran striker's stay. Barcelona is reportedly eager to keep him, but recent reports suggest Lewandowski may be ready to leave when his contract expires at the end of June. If Barcelona clinch La Liga this weekend, decisions could come as early as next week. The club knows they need to move fast to secure their desired business—and for fans, that means a summer of high-stakes moves ahead.
