The FC Barcelona has by in front a market of signings in which they expect a lot of movements, as long as the Fair Play financial allow it. They will not be in conditions to do big outlays, because the situation is not the ideal, but equally want to cover all the needs that has the staff of Hansi Flick. The aim is to have, at least, two alternatives by position.
In the sportive area take in account that Alejandro Balde will remain like only alternative 'natural' for the left side and that desconoce in which conditions will be after being out of action by six months. Joao Cancel, if finally it remains , will be an option for the rotation, but to the trainer would like him have a footballer that serve of 'competition'. The main aim is a player ambidiestro that it was able to play by both bands, but are evaluating the stages.
In case that the Catalans are not in conditions to go out to the market to reinforce , will have to be attentive to the players that are in The Masia and that they could 'colarse' in the plans of Flick. One of the names that has sounded is the one of Álex Fence in, the one who will return of his cession from the Raise, but are not entirely convinced with his profile and will have to 'test' during the pre-season.
Gerard Martín can colarse in the quinielas
Another footballer that can serve of alternative is Gerard Martín, the one who has been one of the most striking pieces in these last weeks for Rafa Márquez in the filial. It is 21 years old and it has stood out in his 'change' of role, happening to play like third head office to a left side purer that has kept the best characteristic in the low zone of the field, serving of containment and like a 'bullet' in the aerial game, but also adopting a more offensive profile.
It knows when and how incorporate to zones higher of the field to look for sluciones offensive, as it has showed it in the 'playoffs' of promotion to Second. It has been one of the most positive news for the Barcelona subsidiary and, in case of emergency, can be a player of 'emergency' for the first team. It is one of the more 'veteran' of the filial and a player to take in account if it finishes consummating the promotion.
