FC Barcelona received two loan offers by Junior Firpo and Martin Braithwaite when there was little left until the winter market was over. The Catalans decided to reject both and stayed with the players
The FC Barcelona only did two movements in this past market of signings of winter. One of them was to command to Carles Aleñá yielded to the Getafe so that had the minutes that was not having in the Barça. The another, that went the last day of market, was to yield to Jean-Clair Todibo to the Nice after agreeing the end of the loan with the Benfica. The lusos did not want to to the French, that went to the group of his earth until final of campaign, with an option of purchase of 8,5 million euros.
But the group barcelonista could have done two operations more to last hour. As it affirmed the journalist of 'RAC 1', Gerard Romero, the Catalans received two offers by two players to which the club put in the market the past summer. It treats of Junior Firpo and of Martin Braithwaite, by which interested two teams of the Premier League, that asked both cessions.
But the Barcelona, that knows that it needs to all his players this campaign, preferred to not to give off of any of them and said "no". The Arsenal was the club that wanted to to the left side to reinforce his left-handed lane, whereas it has not gone out to the how conjoint light wanted to to the Danish. It was as it was, the culés refused the proposals and the two will remain in the Camp Nou at least until final of this course.
Nevertheless, of face to summer could change a lot of things, especially in the case of Junior, that has his hours explained in the Barça. The Hispanic-dominican arrived like one of the carrileros more promising of LaLiga, but goes way to turn into one of the big disappointments of these last years. The performance of the ex verdiblanco has been very underneath of the level that expected of him and has complicated to give him the turn to the situation.
Firpo Has showed to have a lot of lacks so much in his offensive game, where has been inconsistente and desacertado, as in the defensive, where has been clumsy and too relaxed in many of his actions. By all this, the club would have decided to give off of him of face to the season that comes. In Italy ensure that the Milan could be his destination and that even could have already an agreement with the 'rossonero'.
Braithwaite Has won a place in the Barça
In the case of Braithwaite, although it does some months took for granted that it would go out in summer, now is not at all clear. The forward has taken advantage of the opportunities that has given him Ronald Koeman and has turned into an important resource in the staff. It carries already 6 goals between all the competitions and seems that it goes to more party to party. His exit could depend on if it arrives or no another attacker, that could be Memphis Depay.
