Barça could sign Rúben Neves at a 'bargain' price

The stage of Sergio Busquets in the FC Barcelona could be coming to an end. After 15 seasons in which it has contested, up to now, 685 parties and has written his name in letters 'golden' inside the history of the club, the captain would abandon the one who has been his house during all his sportive career to test new challenges to his 34 years. With a year of remaining agreement, 'Busi' would opt for going out like free agent and in the MLS already have touched his door, by what all seems to have a clear end.

For this reason, in the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou already study the possible reemplazantes of the of Badía and Rúben Neves is the name that more likes in Can Barça to occupy the place that would leave the captain. The Portuguese has been in the diary of the Barcelona institution from does long and these would go back to the 'load' by his contracting during the next window estival after not being able to do with his services during the past summer.

And it is that the Catalan square was very interested in the midfield player in the previous market of signings, but the requirements of the Wolverhampton prevented his arrival to the City Condal. The 'wolves' are conscious that Neves is a very contributed footballer in the Premier, by what expected to perceive, at least, 50 million euros by the index card of the player, which had to be delivered in an alone payment. An impossible figure to reach for the barcelonistas.

However, from 30 June 2023 the 'winds' would begin to 'blow' in favour of the Barça. The reason behind this is that the agreement of Rúben with the 'wolves' expires in 2024, by what these would see in the obligation of traspasarle if they do not want that it go out to cost zero. Thus, the 50 'kilos' that pretended to receive in return of the player during the past summer could reduce even to the half, as it informs 'SPORT'. Besides, the English would be interested in some canteranos culés, which could 'abartar' even more the operation.

The player wants to be culé

By his part, Rúben Neves has very clear his wish to change of 'airs' to some team of the European elite, being the Barça his destination preferred, by what does not pretend to renew his agreement. Like this then , the figure of Jorge Mendes, representative of the footballer of 25 years, begins to win 'weight' in the negotiations, since his good relation with Joan Laporta could be key so that the blaugranas achieve a good price by the mediocentro.

Far of Zubimendi

Of equal form, the 'operation Neves' antoja very different to the situation of Martín Zubimendi. The midfield player of the Real Sociedad was the main candidate of Xavi Hernández to occupy the place of Busquets in his team, but his signing is extremely complicated. The donostiarra has agreement with the 'txuri-urdin' until 2025 and finds in conversations with the club to extend it until 2027. Besides, the Real does not want to give off of one of his figures by what would remit to his clause of rescission, which is valuada in 60 'kilos' and could increase to 90 millions. Like this then , Rúben follows winning whole.
