For the second consecutive year, Barça closed the course having only won the Catalan Lliga. A disappointing result in a catastrophic season if the focus is placed on everything that has happened to the team between injuries, failed signings and seedlings.
With all difficulties, Juan Carlos Navarro assured in the microphones of Catalunya Ràdio and RAC1 that The club would continue to trust Joan Peñarroya to Direct the team 25/26. Even so, seen the results, it is clear that the team has to change pieces and restructure the template to succeed again.
A restructuring that, on the one hand, goes through strengthening and retaining the important project players, but also providing new skills to the workforce. Something that can be done by incorporating new profiles or improving the current quality of the team. And in that Two names come in: Tornike Shengelia and Myles Cale.
Two signings, for the moment
In the absence of the officiality, Barça already knows that it will have two new faces for the next course. First Tornic Schengelia. Agreed its incorporation into the Barca Club, the 33-year-old wing is disputing the final of the Italian Lega with the Virtus Bologna and, once the course ends, it can be announced as a new signing.
The Georgian will occupy the position of '4', which leaves the decline of Chimezie Metu. Instead, Shengelia will contribute leadership and points, having averaged 15'6 with the Virtus in Euroleague.

The second closed agreement is that of Myles hold. Exterior player, Great defender and penetrating ringthe North American has played in the Italian thunder this season, with a percentage of 44% in triples. 26 years old, Cale will sign for a season and come to supply Justin Anderson, who will leave Barça and set up to Dubai.
To these two names could be added that of Filip Petrusev. From Serbia they point out that Red Estrella would have made a renewal proposal, but that Barça is also interested and has prepared a Good offer To sign.
Certainties and renovations
Of the entire Barça template, The greatest certainty is Kevin Punter. The American base signed for a season, but in April renewed until 2028. The team's offensive leader, Punter have the ball in their hands when this burning and its 37 points in the last duel against Unicaja show it.
Beyond Pinter, there are several players with a contract in force, such as Darío Brizuela and Joel Parra. Two players that the club wants to shield, like We advance in Sport. In the case of the escort, Barça and player are negotiating to close their renewal and thus retain Brizuela beyond 2026.
Meanwhile, in the case of the Catalan eaves, Parra signed a contract until 2027but in Sport we count that the Barca club transferred to the player and his closest environment the will to lengthen him, after a campaign where his prominence has been increasing.
Doubts with Abrines and the Pivots
With regard to the rest of the squad, you have to look at the inner game. First in Jan Vesely And in a tweet from his representative Misko Raznatovic, who assured that The Czech would meet the year of contract What has with Barça.
Now, his companions in the '5' generate more doubts. Willy Hernangómez has a contract, but with a salary of two million net Barça would see the agreement well to terminate, although that does not seem plausible. Meanwhile, Fall ends this summer and, after a growing role, the Barca club does not rule out its continuity.
Finally, there is the captain's figure, Álex Abrines. With a contract until 2026, its role has been declining to the point that the Balearic exterior would seriously meditate on its Basketball withdrawal This summer.
