The FC Barcelona begins the pre-season with 'overbooking' in his defensive back. Xavi Hernández has, right now, six players available and two, foreseeably, will pack their bags

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona, as in each summer from does some years, has 'overbooking' in his defensive saga. Waiting for the movements that pretends to carry out the Barcelona sportive direction, there are six available head offices in the staff. It foresees that they can complete two exits, but to day of today all the operations are detained by different reasons... And they cause a new quebradero of head for the interests of the club. These weeks can be key.

To day of today, Xavi Hernández has Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen, Jules Koundé, Eric García, Clément Lenglet and the recently fichado Iñigo Martínez. The Biscayan arrived like free agent after culminating his agreement with the Athletic Club. To this, it is necessary to add him that Marcos Alonso also is an alternative for the axis of the defence, although in front of the exit of Jordi Alba is predictable that go to add more minutes like left side, turning into the 'acting' of Alejandro Balde.

Besides, it is necessary to take in account that Koundé has a lot of options to follow playing like right side a season more. The intention of the culés is fichar to a natural footballer for the position and is attentive to what can happen with Joao Cancel (Manchester City) and Pablo Maffeo (RCD Mallorca). However, the blaugrana depend on the solutions with the Fair Play financial and, to day of today, there is not a lot of 'answers' positive... By what the Parisian has a lot of options to remain , of permanent way in the band.

What central will remain in the Barça?

To be like this and taking in account the cases of Marcos Alonso and Jules Koundé, the trainer egarense will have the 'intocables' Araújo and Christensen, Eric García, Clément Lenglet and the incorporation of Iñigo Martínez. The intention is to close, as soon as possible, the exit of the of Beauvais. The negotiations with the Tottenham keep , but go to slow step because it does not exist a concenso economic and are slopes of the wage of the player, to the that in the next course would touch him earn 20 million gross euros.

Xavi never has had Lenglet and his exit ess prioritaria, because it would leave at least ten 'kilos' in the arks of the club. Likewise, it is on the table the possibility that Eric García do his cases this summer because will have fewer minutes of action in front of the arrival of Martínez. It had been linked with the Real Betis, but have not existed advances in the conversations between both clubs. In any case, seem to be one of the big 'signalled' and, if it remains , will be still in the bench.
