The 5 qualities of Saúl that have convinced Koeman and Barça

The FC Barcelona​ wanted to fichar a physical midfield player, with experience, arrival and character this summer. In summary, the culés looked for a similar prototype to the of Georginio Wijnaldum, that was the 'Plan To' of Ronald Koeman​ and of the Barcelona. However, the Dutch planted to the Catalan group when already it had it everything almost enclosed and decided to leave to Paris Saint-Germain, where offered him an a lot greater wage.

Since, it has related to several means with the Barça, but any has gone in for real in the radar of the blaugrana by his price. The Catalans can not spend money this summer and only can fichar to cost zero or by means of a barter. And precisely of this form and thanks to Antoine Griezmann​, is as it seems that they go to achieve the barcelonistas to the mediocampista that so much ansían.

It treats of Saúl Ñíguez, that goes to go in in an exchange by the French forward. Seemingly, already there is consensus between the club and Koeman, that would be loved with the arrival of the rojiblanco. So much the entity like the trainer of Zaandam see the profile of the ilicitano that that so much looked for. In concrete, there are five reasons by which the canterano of the Athletic of Madrid has 'enamoured' of one or another form to the Barcelona.

The first is that it is a physical player, strong and that does not go to leave of presionar and run while it was in thefield . Although physically it is a stair underneath of Wijnaldum, is powerful and will be very useful to defend upwards. Another quality that likes a lot of the of Elche is that technically it is a good footballer and no desentonará with the game of touch that it practises the Barça. It is not to the height of Pedri or Frenkie of Jong, but will fulfil with grow.

Besides, the third reason by which convinces Saúl is that has a lot of arrival to the rival area, as they accredit the 9 so many that annotated the campaigns 15/16 and 16/17, the 6 that marked the 17/18 and 18/19, and the 7 that annotated in the 19/20. The course happened only marked two and went definitely his worst season since it plays in the Atleti. And precisely here it is another reason for ficharle, since it will be extra motivated and will want to claim and show that to his 26 years still can be this midfield player 'top' that aimed in his starts.

Saúl already is a veteran in spite of his youth

On the other hand, also it values his experience, since in spite of being youngster already carries seven campaigns in the Atleti being important. It has played a final of Champions League like headline and had a paper stood out in the achievement of the past League. It will be a good complement for Pedri, Busquets and Of Jong, that will have in the bench a half of first level and with distinct qualities to give them rest.
