This Wednesday, from Brazil has confirmed that the FC Barcelona has decided to exert the right of purchase by Gustavo Maia, left extreme of the Sao Paulo by which the Catalan club paid one million euros to block his traspaso and other three and half for leaving him fichado. In total, the Brazilian will arrive to the Barcelona group in return of a total of 4,5 million euros.

The signing of Gustavo Maia contrasts with one that does some months the FC Barcelona did not want to close: the one of Takefusa Kubo. The mediapunta Japanese, that already had played previously in the inferior categories of the club but that went by bureaucratic problems, was had to go back, but finally finish fichando by the eternal rival, the Real Madrid, although it was yielded to the RCD Mallorca.

The decision of the FC Barcelona in the cases of Gustavo Maia and Takefusa Kubo was very distinct, but the club explained the difference. It did it through Xavier Vilajoana, director that commissions of the Barcelona subsidiary, in addition to the juvenile teams, of the Formative Football and of the Feminine.

That is to say, that the decision of the FC Barcelona based in the economic, since the club denied to pay to the Japanese footballer the index card that his surroundings asked to the club, that rondaba the million of euros by each one of the five seasons of length of the agreement that never arrived to sign.

To day of today, Takefusa Kubo is one of the big hopes of future in the Real Madrid, especially by the big season that has done in the RCD Mallorca. His desborde and his individual quality turn him into a footballer of big future, splitting besides that in spite of his nationality, dominates perfectly the Spanish to be able to communicate with his mates.

Gustavo Maia, a more economic bet

On the contrary that Takefusa Kubo, the cost that will suppose Gustavo Maia will be very inferior to the of the Japanese. This yes, it is necessary to take into account that the Japanese was a player that already knew in the Masia by his enormous talent and that the Brazilian still is a melon for opening. It will be necessary to see if in the future rentabiliza the operation that the FC Barcelona has closed with the Sao Paulo.
