The Barça looks to the future: Four signings more for the summer 2019

After starting the stage of Ernesto Valverde in the bench with a promising doublet, the FC Barcelona made some changes in his planning, that have been executed by the recently arrived Éric Abidal. In addition to a marked pre-season by the Masia, the Catalans accelerated with the signings and have effected four big contractings, and waiting for the closing of market, already look to the future.

With Arthur, Clément Lenglet, Malcom and Arturo Vidal, have covered the immediate needs of the staff, beginning besides a relief generacional that will continue in next campaigns. It is clear that, for example, the Chilean does not embody this renewal in the changing room, but in his case contributes the necessary experience in an incorporation to which foresees something less than route. It is another complement necessary.

The case is that this year they prioritised the centre of the field, of the defence and the forward, but the one who comes there will be other zones to reinforce. The sides, the centre of the field -again- and the place of '9' could begin to have relief, in another summer in which there will be movements and that will depend a lot of the present campaign.

The aims of the FC Barcelona 2019

Sides

It has been commented like the signing 'surprise' of this window estival, but the true is that it was valued like a possibility on a long-term basis. In a year there will be sufficient to analyse and see if Juan Miranda will be the definite bet for suplir to Jordi Alba or brings to another player, and if in the filial rises another canterano to complement to Nélson Semedo and like this give back definitively to Sergi Roberto to the medullary.

Midfield players

The centre of the field keeps on being the main axis to reform because of him depends the game of the Barça. In this case, the culés are slopes of the evolutions of Arthur, Riqui Puig and other jugones, but also look for other profiles for the room of machines. In addition to a Frenkie of Jong that seems the absolute priority, also has sounded Adrien Rabiot and no descarta a 'galactic' as Paul Pogba or Christian Eriksen.

Leading Centre

This year it could go out Paco Alcácer and will test to Munir, but is clear that Luis Suárez needs a spare. The Uruguayan is a reference in the team, but the years begin to weigh and it will be necessary to observe the market. Antoine Griezmann seemed a perfect candidate but erased of the equation, so in some months it will be necessary to see by where go the shots of Abidal and company. The look on a long-term basis is for Abel Ruiz.

Alternatives

In addition to the priorities, it is necessary to explain that it can have unforeseen, and in this case looks to the goal and to the central. As they left Paulinho and Lucas Digne this year, in spite of not being in the operation gone out, the one who comes could occur with Jasper Cillessen, that already has been tempted, and Thomas Vermaelen, that still has not renewed and finish agreement.
