Laporta promises further Barcelona signings next week

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has affirmed that the club will welcome more new faces to the club, and more deals could be wrapped up next week.

The cash-strapped Catalans are prioritising free agents for the summer window, and they have already snapped up Sergio Aguero and Eric Garcia following their departures from Manchester City.

Georginio Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay are also thought to be closing in on free transfers to Catalonia, and Laporta has revealed that the club should be unveiling more players at Camp Nou in the coming days.

Speaking to reporters at the press conference for Garcia's arrival, Laporta said: "There will be more presentations of players, we're working on it.

"We're working to sign players that improve the first team. We need to balance the squad, you will see what we're working on. Next week there will be more news."

Barcelona are also rumoured to have agreed a new two-year deal with talisman Lionel Messi, and Laporta has also revealed that a decision on Ronald Koeman's future will be made within the next 10 days.
