World Sport: Barcelona Need a Centre-Back and Will Try to Sign Neistadt in the Winter Window

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona want to sign a player who can help the team make significant progress in the Champions League, and they will try to sign Neistadt during the winter window.

According to reports, with Laporta's full support, Deco, Bojan and Flick have worked together throughout the transfer market, improving the squad through broad consensus and continuous communication, and bringing in players capable of making major progress in the Champions League.

This is not an easy task. Although Barcelona have already followed the 1:1 rule, they cannot compete with the spending power of the Premier League in pounds. Barcelona's fixed investment is 174 million euros (with an additional 44.5 million euros in variables), ranking second only to Real Madrid (225 million euros) in La Liga, but still unable to match the Premier League.

The final position the team needs to strengthen is centre-back, but there will be another transfer window in January, when they can try to sign Neistadt. In addition, Espart and Farinias are also two outstanding players developed by the club's academy.

Araujo's loan move to Liverpool freed up 100% of his salary; although Ajax only covered 10% of Ter Stegen's salary, it still helped facilitate his departure. At the same time, the club received 48.5 million euros from Ferran Torres, who left the team voluntarily.
