The Blaugrana are still keen on not splurging unnecessary funds in the transfer market as they look to navigate their way out of their current financial woes.
While the Catalan giants may still be in a precarious fiscal position, they will undoubtedly still be active when the window opens at the end of the season.
As per club chiefs, Barca will once again be exploring the signing of players who are in the final 12 months of their current deals.
Many of the world's best footballers whose contracts are set to expire at the end of this campaign have been linked with a move to the Camp Nou, and according to Sport, at the top of the club's free-agent wish list is Lionel Messi.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner left Catalonia after his deal with the LaLiga giants ended in August 2021. The Argentine joined Paris Saint-Germain and suffered an underwhelming debut season at the Parc des Princes, but now appears to be enjoying a resurgence in this campaign.
The 35-year-old has already found the back of the net eight times and assisted a further eight strikes in all competitions this season, and Barca want to bring their leading goalscorer of all time back to the Catalonia.
