Araújo, Koundé, Cubarsí... Barça will team up with 8 centre-backs and will have to make decisions

The FC Barcelona goes to have to take a lot of decisions this summer regarding the position of head office. The culés have right now to five players for the place: Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé, Iñigo Martínez, Andreas Christensen and Pau Cubarsí, that already has settled in the first team. The French and the Danish are playing right now of right side and of pivote, respectively, but both are and feel defenders, by what of face to the course that comes it is necessary to explain them like such.

A payroll of five central defenders is well for a big team like the Barça, by what in case of not wanting to 'touch' at all, would go in inside the normal follow with all they. The problem is that to which already are go them to add like minimum two more, that could be three or four depending on several factors. The two footballers that will return with security will be Eric García and Clément Lenglet, that will go back after his cessions in the Girona and the Aston Villa, respectively. The Catalan has given a big level with the ones of Míchel, whereas the Frenchman, although it has taken in going in in the plans of Emery, at the end has attained it and also is revalorizando.

One of the two incógnitas of the Barcelona to add to this 'overbooking' that there will be in defensive phase is Chadi Riad. The Moroccan, that is 'going out' in the Betis, would be a bet of present and future, since it has tested his level in LaLiga and has an enormous potential. The problem with him is that the Betis has an option of purchase that will exert with security, and in this case the option of repurchase culé, enciphered in 7 million euros, will not be able to be efecctiva until 2025. In case to want to could negotiate his purchase this summer putting in the operation perhaps 50% of the rights of Abde that saved the Barcelona. Nevertheless, seeing the populated that is the position, the normal would be to expect to the 2025 for 'repescarle'.

Finally, the Barça also could have wrap with Mika Faye, promising central of the filial. The Senegalese is showing in First RFEF that the category remains him small and so much he like the own club consider that the next season would have to give the jump to the elite. The problem is that in the first team does not seem to have hollow, by what in his case, in spite of the brutal conditions that has, the normal is that it finish going yielded or even traspasado with option of repurchase, since there are a lot of pending teams of him.

Eric only will have options if they go Koundé or Christensen

Taking into account all the cases, the FC Barcelona will have to decide with who remain. Ronald Araújo and Pau Cubarsí seem the only indisputable to day of today, although the need to do box with somebody to be able to fichar in other places does that the exit of the charrúa was not 100% impossible. Nevertheless, in the entity would prioritise the exits of Koundé or of Christensen, although the Danish has gone back to leave clear that does not move , what complicates all more. Iñigo, after arriving this past summer, probably also will remain like basic wardrobe.

Once cleared that the exits of the current members of the first team do not go to be simple, Eric and Lenglet have all the ones to lose. The French does not convince and is a descarte clear, by what the idea is to try take out a good figure by him. With García there are more doubts, since it still is young and has a style that fits to perfection in the Barça. Koundé Or Christensen went out, the one of the Girona would remain with almost total security, but if there are not movements with which already are goes to have almost impossible to remain.
