According to Spanish media outlet Sport, Barcelona president Laporta visited Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper to meet with sporting director Deco and the coaching staff to finalize plans for the closing stages of the transfer window.

Laporta visited Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper this morning, greeting Flick and the players before training began, and held a planning meeting with the sporting management regarding key aspects of Barcelona's transfer work in the coming days.

Barcelona is racing against time. The transfer window closes at 11:59 p.m. CEST on September 2, and several issues still need to be addressed, particularly the striker position. Following Lewandowski's departure, Barcelona believes they need to recruit a central striker and are currently evaluating all possibilities.

This recruitment will not be easy. The sporting director has numerous targets and must accelerate contact with the players and their respective clubs to determine which operations are truly feasible in the final days.

When Laporta arrived, Deco had also reached Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The two have maintained close contact, meeting several times a week in recent weeks to synchronize progress on striker recruitment and other transfers that need to be pushed through. Laporta has great confidence in Deco's work, and Deco reports to him several times a week on the status of each player in the squad.

Another unresolved issue involves Balde. Manchester United has inquired about the left-back, but currently only wants a loan, while Barcelona prioritizes an outright sale. Negotiations on this matter must be concluded very quickly. If Balde departs, Barcelona will enter the market to find a left-footed centre-back.

Laporta is in good spirits following the team's 5-0 away victory over Elche. He believes starting the new season this way is good news. The match also proved that Flick has many attacking options, but the sporting management still hopes to recruit a pure central striker.

Raphinha, Antony, Gordon, and even Hamza Abdulhamid can play in this position, but the club wants them to play primarily in their best positions. Deco and Flick initially favored Gordon precisely because of his versatility. The English player can operate as a winger or central striker, making him a very practical option for the coach. However, this alternative will not change the original plan. Barcelona still has much work to do in the final week of the transfer window, and Laporta and Deco reviewed all available options this morning. After greeting the team, Laporta returned to his office to continue his work. With seven days until the window closes, several important decisions still need to be made.
