While Barça is immersed in the first round of the Endesa League play-offs, with the first victory in the quarterfinals against Lenovo Tenerife, the last major title for which Roger Grimau’s team can fight, In the offices of the Barça team, work is already underway for the next campaign.
The first important question It is the continuity of the coach, Roger Grimau, who has raised so many discordant voices due to his lack of experience having never managed a team in the highest category and also at Barça, where he is always obliged to win and achieve titles.
In the blaugrana offices everyone remains firm in the decision to have put him in charge of the team, although the final decision on its continuity will depend on what happens in this final stretch of the Endesa League.
Endesa League pending
Being left out of the Final Four was a great disappointment in the Blaugrana section, although we wait to take stock when the campaign ends and then we will decide on his future. Achieving the title would ensure that he remains at the forefront, although if he does not reach the final, his continuity could be in danger.
Regarding the Blaugrana squad, everything seems to indicate that Rokas Jokubaitis will not continue so there would be an open place. Another Lithuanian, the young phenomenon Kasparas Jakucionis, is being considered for promotion to the first team, although there is also the alternative of Juani Marcos.
What they do have very clear in ‘Can Barça’ It is the continuity of Ricky Rubio, who should formalize a new contract since the player feels comfortable and is not contemplating leaving for another team with his life completely settled in El Masnou.

It would be an agreement for more than one season to give stability to the base position, where, in principle, Satoransky and Laprovittola will continue, two players they consider basic, especially the one from Morón. Brizuela also enters Barça’s plans.
Oriol Paulí, in danger
In the forward position, there will be movement. Oriol Paulí has not had opportunities and his exit is more than predicted, like that of the Serbian Nikola Kalinicwho seems to have a great offer to return to Red Star and is seriously considering it.
Barça would welcome the return of Mario Hezonja, a player who can contribute points and even minutes as a ‘four’ to reinforce Kalinic’s departure. although it could take away Joel Parra’s prominencehired with a checkbook last summer.
Where it seems there will be movement is in the ‘four’ position. Jabari Parker, renewed until 2026, is a permanent fixture, although Navarro believes that the team needs a player who ‘bites’ more in the zone, when it comes to rebounding and intimidating.
Doubts with Da Silva
This is where Doubts arise with the German Da Silva, who has not had continuity but who lately has been counting on Grimau’s trust and he has even placed him as a center, ‘punishing’ Willy Hernangómez.
Both the sports director, Mario Fernández, and the general manager, Juan Carlos Navarro, continue a duel at the Palau / VALENTI ENRICH
His continuity will be linked to whether Barça finds a more physical player. One of those who likes is Chima Moneke, although the player has a current contract and would force Baskonia to pay compensation. The player would be delighted to come to Barça. We will see.
In the interior game, Vesely has a guaranteed place and Willy, who will be given a new opportunity despite not being very satisfied with his contribution but his high contract conditions any movement. The one who could leave the team is James Nnaji, in search of a team where he can have minutes that he has not achieved at Barça or could even go on loan.
For now, The technical secretariat with Juan Carlos Navarro at the helm, considers several movementsalthough everything will depend on how the Barça team finishes the campaign to start executing them.
