"We do not see necessary to do some powerful signing, but some retouching there will be. You are confusing the player mediático with which fit well in the team. Prioritising the team there will be one or two incorporations of team, that will do team. I do not see necessary to do an investment that can distort what are building, that is a team balanced". These statements of Laporta in his last interview in 'Sportive World' leave clear that the plan of Barcelona market seems to have changed radically.
In principle, the idea of the culés seemed that it was fichar at least a mediocentro of level this summer. That was the priority and therefore it commented that that went to be the only big investment that made to final of season. However, reading to the Barcelona president gives the feeling that no longer it looks for a powerful "name", but it prioritises somebody that can fit well in the futbolístico and also to level of changing room, since the mandator insists a lot in this to "do team".
Besides, although 'Jan' does not speak of the economic appearance, seems an obviedad that this plan also is a consequence of the problems of Fair Play that has the Barcelona right now. It is not clear how much money goes to be able to spend in this window estival and therefore it thinks more in somebody of a low profile, that fit well and that arrive at good cost without doing too much noise. In this sense, the name that more fits of all those that have sounded these months is with a lot of difference Aleix García.
Alexi García, a mediocentro almost perfect for what wants the Barça
The mediocentro of the Girona has exploded this campaign; it knows LaLiga; it plays a football of touch and possession, very seemed to the that historically plays the Barça; it has recognised that "dreams" with playing in the Camp Nou; it would go in to the changing room with respect and working from the first day, and economically is very accessible. In Montilivi explain that his clause of rescission is of 20 million euros, whereas in the City Condal think that is of 12. It was a figure or another, is a price 'low cost' for what is the market nowadays, and besides the barcelonistas could abaratar the cost of the operation with players like Eric García or Pablo Tower, at present yielded in the group 'gironí'.
Aleix Has quality with the ball, a very good trip in long, good vision of game, tácticamente is very intelligent and has a good strike of ball. All this would do him, in principle, fit well in what it wants the Barça for the centre of the field. The only doubt that leaves is that it never has played in a 'big' and this, as it showed with Oriol Romeu, can happen bill. Nevertheless, García is six years old less than his 'paisano' of Ulldecona, and many win of 'eat' the world, appearances also to take into account.
Goodbye To Kimmich and to other expensive signings
If for real the FC Barcelona has descartado a big signing for the midfield, players like Amadou Onana, Joshua Kimmich or even Stanislav Lobotka, that has been the last in sounding, would remain descartados by his cost or his status. The German would cost no less than 60/65 million euros and is a 'crack' recognised, one of the best of the world in his place. On the other hand, Onana does not have the recognition of the germano, but the Everton, in spite of that his value of market is of 40 millions, if it keeps the category and is still in the Premier, will ask by him 60 'kilos', a price that would do him arrive to the Camp Nou with a status of almost intocable. The checho, by his part, has a lower value, of 30 'kilos', but the Naples is used to to ask much more money of the that 'cost' all his footballers, by what could demand easily 45 or 50 to leave him go out.
Unless the plan change, therefore, signings so 'expensive' as these will not have fit this summer in the Barça. Thus, it is necessary to think in players of a lower profile, like Aleix, Mats Wieffer, that also likes a lot and would cost between 25 and 30 millions, or Dion Lopy, by which there was a lot of interest in 2023, that could cost as a lot 20 'kilos' and that in spite of the almost safe descent of the Almería, is doing good season. Of all they, by style of game to 'priori' the one who more fits is the Spanish, but all have interesting qualities that could come him well to the blaugrana and an accessible price that also would fit with what wants the club.
