The sports management must register the new contracts of Araujo, Gavi, Marcos Alonso and Sergi Roberto
It could have to register some more and it appears as a priority before the arrival of new footballers
The president of Barça, Joan Laporta, assured on Tuesday during his visit to the Círculo Ecuestre that the club will strengthen this summer, giving the positions of winger and forward as priorities, with the possible arrival of a central defender if a good opportunity is found.
Despite the fact that Javier Tebas continues to say that Barça is exceeding the financial Fair Play and that they will not be able to sign, the sports management is prepared to undertake transfers if LaLiga finally gives the green light to the registration of players, but they also remember that, Before signing up, they have homework to do and that must be a priority. This is the registration of contracts renewed in recent months. They are those of Ronald Araujo, Gavi, Marcos Alonso and Sergi Roberto.
Araujo renewed for Barça almost a year ago. He did it until 2026, but that contract is still not registered in LaLiga. The Uruguayan’s previous contract, with which he still plays, ended in 2023. He has not thought at any time about leaving the club, but both parties know that the situation must be resolved this summer.

Gavi’s renewal was announced in September. He also extended the Sevillian his contract until 2026. He had to wait until the winter market for this agreement to be registered in LaLiga, but he had to do it after a court order. Barça took the case to the Mercantile Court of Barcelona, which gave the club the precautionary measure and urged LaLiga to register Gavi with the number of the first team. LaLiga filed an appeal and both parties are awaiting its resolution. If Barça loses the case, they must win Fair Play to register the youth squad.
THE LAST RENOVATED
In addition to the Araujo and Gavi contracts, Barça must also register the two renewals that have already taken place in 2023. Marcos Alonso did it for one season with another option, like Sergi Roberto. Others could be added to these four players, such as Sergio Busquets, Iñaki Peña and Ousmane Dembélé.
