Barça is working on incorporating a new signing for the second part of the season after considering that the squad needs an adjustment to make it fully competitive in the fight for the important titles of the season.
Until now, The sports management had been reluctant to make a new signing, considering that the market options were not convincing. since if an effort was going to be made it was to find a player who could make a difference.
The good progress in the first part of the season, He shelved the decision to bring a new player to Roger Grimau’s squadalthough with the disastrous month of December, the opinion of the sports management began to take a turn.
From disaster to reaction
The team hit rock bottom at the end of 2023 with the heavy defeat at AS Monaco, although it happily bounced back up in the first two weeks of January with those five consecutive victories at the Palau and also with the triumph ‘in extremis’ in Tenerife with Jabari Parker’s saving basket.

Although the team once again showed deficiencies in the painful defeat this Thursday in Istanbul where the Barça team once again lacked defensive intensity and competitive tension against an Anadolu Efes that gave the Blaugrana a real offensive review.
Winning away from home in the Euroleague is becoming more and more complicated and at Barça They have come to the conclusion that the staff must be reinforced. The doubts that initially existed about the position of the new signing have now become clearer.
From a playmaker to an interior
The club’s first intention was to incorporate a player with scoring abilitywho had the ability to change the dynamic of a game in attack although the options presented to them on the table did not convince.
A few months later, and after the explosion of players like Brizuela, Joel Parra and an increasingly integrated Jabari Parker, the feeling is that the team already has that position well covered, despite the fact that right now the absences of Abrines and Laprovittola, two key players in Grimau’s schemes are out and have no return date.

Thus, Everything indicates that the Blaugrana’s objective right now is to incorporate a ‘four’ that provides muscle to the inside game, since Grimau is not trusting Da Silva too much, and Parker does not have that defensive instinct to work for the rebound and defensive intimidation that that position needs. Joel Parra could even occupy that position but not permanently.
The options they are studying open the door to players with experience in the Euroleague, although the operation is not closed. They are only clear that if that player ends up arriving, he must do so before February 7, the date on which the Euroleague market closes.
