Barca preparing for summer windowLooking to invest in new left wingerEyeing Arsenal, Napoli & Brighton starsWHAT HAPPENED?
The reigning La Liga champions are considering their options to strengthen on the left wing after coach Xavi departs at the end of the season. They have already outlined some audacious targets as reports they have their eyes on Arsenal star Martinelli, Napoli's Kvaratskhelia and Brighton winger Mitoma.

Barca have been lacking balance on the wings since they saw Ousmane Dembele, who could play on the left, leave to join Paris Saint-Germain last season while Ansu Fati was loaned to Brighton. While they have Lamine Yamal and Raphinha available to play on the right wing, their options on the left – Joao Felix and Ferran Torres – tend to play more centrally than hug the touchline and the Camp Nou side want a player of a different style.
DID YOU KNOW?
Barca's financial troubles will likely make it tough to get a deal over the line in the summer window as there are limits on how much the club can spend on transfer fees and player salaries. Considering Martinelli, Kvaratskhelia and Mitoma all have contracts that run until 2027, their respective clubs will likely demand large fees for them. If they cannot raise the finances, they may bring Fati back into the squad after his loan spell ends.

Before the Catalan team can start bringing in new faces for next season, they will attempt to get back into the Spanish league title race and go far in the Champions League. They take on Celta Vigo in La Liga this weekend before meeting Napoli in the European competition on February 21.
