FC Barcelona remains in the eternal 'battle' to get a pivot to serve as relief for Sergio Busquets. Despite the fact that the 'solution' may be at home, at the moment the club is ruling it out

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona does not give by defeated in the mission to achieve a new mediocentro. It has turned into an operation costs up, because every time they are less the options in the market: The alternatives of Joshua Kimmich (Bayern of Munich) and Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) are practically descartadas by the available price -60 million euros, apróximadamente-, and the option 'low cost' of Marcelo Brozovic every time is more difficult because it would be near to sign with the To the-Nassr.

The difficulties that has found the Barça have carried to the possibility that, maybe, have to look to what there is home. Like this they appeared talents like Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernández or Andrés Iniesta, with the recent cases of, for example, Gavi. In The Masia there is big talents that can serve for the centre of the field... But for the club, for the moment, would be preferable an option with more experience in the elite.

Marc Casadó, descartado by the Barça?

In the list of alternatives to low price appeared the name of Marc Casadó. It has been one of the proper names of the Barça Atlètic of Rafa Márquez in the last season and also had the opportunity to see minutes with the first team, in the Champions League against Viktoria Plzen. In this moment, Xavi Hernández stood out his implication and character splitting from the position of pivote, that has remained orphan after the exit of Sergio Busquets.

In this last season has left clear that it is a player that, although still it remains him a lot for growing and show, has wood to be one of the 'cracks' of the Barcelona future. Thus, from the club have decided to not to launch it to the full sea of sharks. A recent information of Adrián Sánchez desvela that "in the club think that to Marc Casadó still remain him stages for fulfilling in his development futbolístico. It considers that by the moment is not prepared to cover the drop of Busquets". For the moment, it lines a new name in the list.

A 'operation pivote' impossible

The Barça has deepened in a 'operation pivote' that it is increasingly complicated and that, each day, feels more impossible. Xavi Hernández wants to have a player that have characteristic similar to the ones of Buquets and that do not require long to adapt , but this means to do a very big investment that, for now, the club is not in the capacity to assume by all the economic problems that pursue him. The list reduces ... And the time runs against of the interests blaugrana.
