The captain of the Barça B, Monchu, had the opportunity to debut this past Saturday with the first team in the Camp Nou, jumping to the terrain of game in the minute 84 in replacement of Antoine Griezmann. It was the prize to a big campaign with the filial, in which it has turned into the maximum realizador of his team with 10 goals in 29 parties contested.
"Debut of Monchu! How it deserves it to him!", twitteó his trainer in the B, Javier García Pepper, just after his European première. To his 20 years, the Balearic midfield player already had participated in some friendly parties with the team of Setién, especially during the past pre-season, but until the meeting in front of the Italians had not had the opportunity to dress the T-shirt of the first staff.
It surprised, this yes, that the debutante Balearic went the first change of Quique Setién in front of the aguerrido Naples, when in the bank had available to other canteranos like Ansu Fati, Riqui Puig and Ronald Araújo, those who have had more leadership along the present campaign.
Also it results remarkable the fact that the debut of Monchu arrive in a moment of uncertainty regarding his future, still without knowing if it will be yielded or traspasado to another club of First Division, or if it could have gap in the first team culé. It landed with 13 years in The Farm, in 2012, and since has gone progressing until fulfilling his dream.
What will happen with Monchu?
A dream that could be ephemeral, taking into account the big quantity of clubs interested in doing with his services. Villarreal, Granada, Celtic and Eibar of LaLiga Santander 2019-20, although the Sassuolo of the Series To also could show some interest, in addition to the Southampton of the Premier League.
It treats of a footballer with poster and in full progression, by the one who the FC Barcelona would have to take out economic cut in the case that finally it give him gone out. A thing is clear: if it remains in the first team culé, hardly will be able to enjoy of minutes. Busquets, Arturo Vidal, Of Jong, Riqui Puig, Pjanic and Sergi Roberto, without explaining to Rakitic, block him for now the possibility to play with assiduity.
