​ Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has promised that wing-back Aleix Vidal won't be the only new arrival at Camp Nou this summer, as the club look to strengthen further following last season's historic treble.





Bartomeu is set to do battle with former president Joan Laporta in next month's election battle, while any new arrivals would have to wait until January to play, but the incumbent feels confident enough to state that more new faces will definitely be on the way.





"We have a very reliable team for next season but besides Aleix Vidal another player will join," Bartomeu is quoted as saying by Goal.com.









"The club is not paralysed by the election process and is making sporting plans for coach Luis Enrique. The coach knows what we need and we will carry out those duties," he added.





It is the norm for presidential candidates to make signing a big name star one of their electoral pledges. In that respect, Bartomeu was heavily linked with Atletico Madrid winger Arda Turan.





According to Marca, the Spanish entrepreneur has distanced himself from those particular claims. However, he is said to have another big name on his election ticket and will reveal the player's identity in the run up to the vote on 18th July.





Where, Bartomeu is keeping his cards relatively close to his chest, his rival is being rather outspoken. Laporta wildly promised David Beckham when he successfully ran for Barça president in 2003 and later delivered Ronaldinho.





This time around he is being very vocal about Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

"I would speak to Luis Enrique before signing Pogba and I don't think there would be any problem, I know him well," Laporta said this week.





"He's a possible signing, I still have a good relationship with his agent, Mino Raiola, after signing Maxwell and Ibrahimovic (for Barcelona). And the player is a great friend of Eric Abidal's."
