Barcelona is preparing for one of the most important summer transfer windows in recent years, as it aims to make the necessary reinforcements to Hansi Flick's squad.
The plans include bringing in a centre-back and a striker, while a full-back and a left-back could come in if João Cancelo and Marcus Rashford return to Al Hilal and Manchester United respectively.
Given the large number of decisions that need to be made, sporting director Deco has worked intensively in recent months to prepare for the transfer market that opens in early July.
However, before proceeding with concrete plans, he must receive approval for the targets from Flick, who is also expected to discuss a new contract with the club's management.
According to reports from "Mundo Deportivo", the meeting between Deco and Flick about transfer targets has been postponed.
The German coach has made it clear that he does not want to deal with the summer transfer market until Barcelona secure the La Liga title, which he hopes will happen as soon as possible.
Before the start of the 32nd week, Barcelona has a nine-point lead over Real Madrid.
If both teams win their matches leading up to El Clásico in matchday 35, a victory at the Spotify Camp Nou would see the Catalans crowned champions for the second consecutive season, following their triumph in Flick's first season (2024/25).
At this stage, Flick doesn't want to think too much about the future.
His focus is on Wednesday's match against Celta de Vigo, an opponent that Barcelona has found difficult to beat in recent years.
Both teams are coming off eliminations from European competitions and aim to return to winning ways with the restart of the championship./Express newspaper/
