Barça bets on La Masia to make up for recent departures

The FC Barcelona has had a market of signings of summer 2023/2024 with big moments épicos. After closing recently the cessions of Joãor Cancel and Joãor Félix, the Catalans have finished the window of transfers in which only they have invested 3,4 million euros, but in which they also have incorporated players of the size of Ilkay Gündogan, Iñigo Martínez and Oriol Romeu.

Of course, to carry out all these operations, was necessary to free to several players of the staff. Some were yielded, as Ansu Fati, Eric García, Clément Lenglet, Julián Araujo, Pablo Tower and Sergiño Dest, whereas others were traspasados, as Ousmane Dembélé, Franck Kessié, Nico González and Ez Abde. Besides, four players, Samuel Umtiti, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Álex Hill, left in freedom.

The Barça has remained with a short staff for this campaign

Although this massive exit of footballers of the Barça has generated an economic profit of 102 million euros, also has created a peculiar situation, since the combined of the City Condal has remained with alone 19 available players in his staff of the first team, the lowest figure from the season 1993/1994. This is a small problem to take into account, considering that the Barcelonan cast will have to face four competitions this season and with a so tightened calendar, would be convenient to have a greater basic wardrobe to warn fatigues and injuries.

The solution is in The Masia

The solution to this small setback, caused by the need to reduce the wages of the first team, is to resort to the talents of the filial team. In this case, two names stand out especially: Lamine Yamal and Fermín López, those who have won deservedly a place in the staff. The espluguense has gone back one of the referents in the offensive of Xavi, contesting up to now 175 minutes (14' in front of the Getafe, 85' in front of the Cádiz and 76' in front of the Villarreal CF), where in spite of not having converted goals, has attained to concretise two assistances and erigirse like the 'MVP' of the duel in front of the 'Yellow Submarine'.

Now, when it treats of the native of The Campillo, has had a bit less than opportunities, but presents like a 'ace under the sleeve' for the technician egarense. Although only it has played four minutes in official competitions, as the showed in the Barcelona pre-season in the United States, seems that the offensive midfield player will have a lot of more opportunities to play, especially with the temporary absence of Pedri by injury.

Finally, but no less important, also are available values like Ander Astralaga, Pau Cubarsí and Marc Casadó, players of the filial inscribed already in LaLiga EA Sports, those who could be of big utility for the aim wished to struggle and win all the possible titles.
