Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona began with good feelings the era Quique Setién, but still has some pending subjects. The technician has warned that in spite of the good feelings, the intention is to follow improving, keep the ascending dynamics and pulir all the defects what before, not to lose the rhythm in the demanding fight by the titles. In his way, besides, has crossed a key decision for the future of the club.

In the Camp Nou will go back to celebrate a summit to speak on the planning of the staff, and the priority is the debate of the nine. So much with Ernesto Valverde as now with the Cantabrian to the controls, the absence of Luis Suárez forces to think in urgent solutions, since it is a key piece in the diagrams of the first team and there is not a natural spare for a drop that will lengthen at least four months.

It does some days, the recently arrived argued that it needed to know something more to the changing room, and now already has more information after several sessions of trainings -in which it has valued to diverse footballers of the filial- and a party against the Granada. In front of the rojiblancos, although they generated occasions and Leo Messi finish resolving, could check that to the culés would come them well a specialist in the tip of attack.

The question to day of today is if it is necessary fichar or no, with the advantages and inconvenient that this comports in winter. The technical office carries time looking for attractive options for the month of January, and names like Dani Elm, Pedro Rodríguez or Krzystzof Piatek are in the diary. What it is necessary to close, once and for all, is if the best is to bring them now or expect to the summer and bet by the planning established.

The alternatives of the Barça B seem almost descartadas in this case, since except the usual like Ansu Fati or Carles Pérez, the rest of attackers is thinking in changing of airs. Alejandro Marquis, that finish agreement on 30 June, could go in in an operation of barter with the Juventus, and Abel Ruiz is very near of pactar a cession of a season and average to the Sporting of Portugal.

The Barça closes the door to more exits in January

As 'Sportive World', also is necessary to study the offers that have some cracks, although all aims that the door of exit is closed in January. Carles Aleñá and Jean-Clair Todibo already left to loan, and to speak of Arturo Vidal, gone on down the Inter of Milan, and Ivan Rakitic, contacted by the Juventus and the PSG, it will be necessary to expect to final of course, in a summer of 2020 that foresees very animated.
