Josep Maria Bartomeu and the technical office of the FC Barcelona decided to put on sale to several 'holy cows' of face to this summer. Luis Suárez, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic, Samuel Umtiti or Jordi Alba are prescindibles and the club wants to remove them of on as it was. The problem is that varied of them has agreements too high that very few teams in the world could pay with the age that have.
One of these cases is the one of Alba, that renewed recently until 2024 with a substantial improvement of wage. The left side is in the list of transferibles, but in the Barça have increasingly clear that goes to be almost impossible to sell him. Precisely by this, Ronald Koeman has wanted to speak with him to know at first hand how is and to transmit him what wants of face to the campaign that is for coming.
The Dutch and the one of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat would have spoken recently as it aims in the Catalan press. In this exchange of opinions, the new trainer barcelonista would have left him clear that has he and that it can be important if it wins it to him in the field. The surroundings of the footballer would have glided that the Catalan is trusted after the words of the Dutch and that sees being headline as always.
Nevertheless, it is necessary matizar that Koeman would have given him a lot of importance to the state in which it was Jordi. The international Spanish has not been to the height neither physically neither futbolísticamente this last season and this is something that can not repeat. If it wants to play with the one of Zaandam goes to have to tune in pre-season and go back to be the carrilero vertical, sure, fast and decisive that has been along his stage in the Camp Nou.
He same trusts to go back to his best level in spite of having already 31 years and come of a course in which it has had a lot of physical problems. Precisely his age and the injuries could be the big problem of the ex of Valencia, that will have to leave backwards all this to convince to Ronald. But in the club do not finish of fiarse of the all of his performance and therefore the idea is fichar another left-handed side of level that can compete of you to you with him.
The Barça wants to fichar a left-handed side of level
It says that Junior Firpo does not go to continue and that will leave to the Series To where has several beaux. The money collected by the ex of the Betis would go allocated to the purchase of this carrilero that compete with Alba. José Luis Gayà is the favourite, but can not descartar that Angeliño or Nicolás Tagliafico can aspire to the place. Although the valencianista is surely the more resembled Jordi of the three, all are players with experience in Champions League, with clear offensive vocation and with possibilities to stand out in Can Barça.
