FC Barcelona News: 20 February 2026; Pedri returns to training, Julián Alvarez once again tipped to join Barça this summer
Should Laporta get re-elected, then the question before Deco is what position(s) upgrades can make the most impact this summer.1) We can get an elite LCB (Bastoni, Lukeba,...) in the 90M or under fee range.2) Unless we're looking to sell Balde and/or Kounde (doubtful), we can get a rotational FB on the cheap to integrate with Fort, Martin, etc.3) Backup LW is a tricky one. Ideally you want a younger than Raphinha player, but who? Yan Diomande is a great fit, but he won't be cheap. And is Rashford the answer against low-block clubs? Yan would be another 60-80M fee acquisition.4) Elite CF is rare and thus expensive. Unless Kane is available at 65M, there really aren't any difference makers out there. Osimhen/Haaland is 💰💰.My guess is that we buy an elite LCB, cheap backup FB, and sign Rashford.

1) 🛑 doom scrolling. While it doesn't make the bad news go away, it does reduce the thoughts of inevitability.2) Be the change. I email my local officials (county, state) to let them know my thoughts/fears. I donate to groups that help others.3) Reduce screentime and hangout IRL. Whether it's doing physical activity, people watching, etc. Just let your mind relax 4) Its ALWAYS better when Barca is winning to be a fan, but if they aren't then do you not wear your Barca shirt/hat/gear? And if they don't win anything this year, then do you 🛑 rooting for the club next year? If you're still going to be a Barca fan, then focus on possible academy prospects that could join/make an impact in the club, or some free agents, etc. Hope that helps.
