Without Messi already in plans, and Busquets and Jordi Alba not returning next year, FC Barcelona will get down to work in the preseason to define who will complete their quartet of captains

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The exit of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba the next 30 June has left free two places between the four captains of the FC Barcelona. This stage leaves to Sergi Roberto and Marc-André ter Stegen, in this order for now, like the two names confirmed to carry the strip the following course, by what so much the technical body like the changing room have to begin to define who will be able to complete the quartet, already without Leo Messi like option.

So much the one of Reus like the guardameta have gone up in hierarchy with the exit of Busi and Alba, especially by the antiquity of both in the staff and his ancestry on a full group of young footballer. From here in more open several options, taking into account that a name like the one of Dembélé is very popular in the changing room and also surpasses the five years already in the entity.

There is multiple options to reconstruct the changing room

The another big possibility is the one of Ronald Araújo, that in spite of his youth and lower time in the club has won a profile of leader and is an indisputable headline in the staff. Finally there is other two names that seem something obvious to go in in the vote of the own staff to complete the two vacant places, Frenkie of Jong and Robert Lewandowski, this last with fewer possibilities as it aims 'Sport'.

The peculiarity of any one that was the final quartet is that surely the first captain, Sergi, do not finish exerting his function in each party to the not being a fixed in the XI of Xavi. This same situation could happen in the Real Madrid, where Nacho would be the first captain if it finishes renewing. What himself is sure is that already the changing room will not expect by the return of Messi to include it in the vote after his decision to accept the offer of the InterMiami .

The future also sees ilusionante

Already to half and long term, and with Araújo surely still dressed of Barcelona, players like Pedri and Gavi will be called to take the bracelet, although right now they are still very young to assume the responsibility. Both mediocampistas have agreements on a long-term basis with the Barça, to the equal that expects that it make with Alejandro Balde, another footballer that could be in that quartet in some 4 or 5 years.
