Xavi likes Pepelu and he could be Barça's 'cover' for the pivot

The FC Barcelona confronts to a dilemma after the desacertada incorporation of Oriol Romeu during the last market of summer to reinforce the position of pivote in the club. At present, they are considering diverse options to obtain a new player that can occupy this place of optimum way to complete time or share functions with Andreas Christensen, the one who already has showed to be an important option in the sportive planning of the team in this area of the field.

The FC Barcelona would be monitoring to Pepelu of Valencia Cf

In this sense, the Barcelona cast could add to his list of candidates to a new and unexpected player. As it informed in 'MARK', José Luis García Vayá, known like Pepelu, player of Valencia, is being considered by the combined Catalan. The one of Dénia has turned into one of the fundamental pillars of the group 'blanquinegro' this campaign, that has showed very good results and finds in the fight for classifying to the Conference League. At present, they occupy the eighth place, to alone four points of the sixth position, which is a remarkable attainment, especially considering that the past season attained to avoid the descent of way milagrosa.

According to the referred source, Pepelu would have colado recently in the list of futuribles of the FC Barcelona and would be of the like of Xavi Hernández. In fact, after the commitment between 'ches' and culés in Mestalla (1-1) the past month of December, there was a conversation between both parts, during which the egarense congratulated to the talentoso mediocentro by the excellent season that was having. This suggests that from the Barcelonan picture are conscious of the jump of quality that has experienced the exjugador of the Raise.

The credenciales that endorse the signing of Pepelu by the Barça

In this sense, Pepelu has stood out like a pivote with good defensive skills and at present finds between the ten first players of LaLiga in terms of effective entrances (6º with 70 entrances), intercepciones (5º with 39 intercepciones) and key passes (8º with 51 key passes). Equally, it situates between the 20 better pasadores of the local contest, occupying the place 14 with 1417 positive deliveries made.

In addition to his provision to defensive level, the dianense also has showed a remarkable capacity goleadora, having converted six annotations in 34 commitments this course. It is the maximum second goleador of Valencia, only surpassed by Hugo Hard, the one who has marked 12 targets. Given this stage, would not be surprising that the Barça interest in a midfield player that has showed so much skill in the handle of the balloon like excellent conditions in defensive works. Nevertheless, to purchase it, would have to consider a traspaso, since Pepelu has agreement with the combined Valencian until 2028 and a clause of rescission of 100 M€.

Although the value of market of the mediocentro round the 16 M€ (as 'Transfermarkt'), is possible that the picture 'che' can ask more money by him in case of a possible transfer. It will be necessary to expect and see how finishes the season for the player. By the way, it is likely that Pepelu participate in the next party between Valencia and the FC Barcelona in LaLiga, that will carry out the Monday 29 April in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys to the 21:00 hours. It will be an opportunity so that the Barcelonan group observe again the performances of the Valencian midfield player and, who knows, maybe this motivate them even more to do a bet by a player that, to the suitable price, could be an addition of luxury for the team culé.
