Depay and Eric García, the priorities of the Barça before the closing of the market

The FC Barcelona of Ronald Koeman has begun stepping strong the accelerator in LaLiga Santander 2020-21, with two goleadas in front of Villarreal (4-0) and Celtic of Vigo (0-3) that have given back the illusion to the bloated culé so much by game as by feelings. In spite of having of a wide staff that aúna youth, talent and experience, the reality is that there are some plots of the field that follow being lame.

Sergiño Dest Has arrived to cover the gap of the exit of Nélson Semedo in the right side, and could not being the last in landing in the Camp Nou before it close the market of signings of here to 72 hours. The position of head office and the one of leading centre are zones of the field that to Koeman would like him reinforce, and for this the Barça has aimed two proper names in the diary: Eric García and Memphis Depay.

Eric García, also international with Spain

The group culé will exhaust all the cartridges to try sign them before it finish the next 5 October, although without throwing the house by the window neither commit a madness that engage the economic stability of the club. Luckily, the greater part of the duties already are facts and the hypothetical arrival of Depay or Eric García would be a complement of luxury, although without them the staff also has spare arguments to triumph.

The economic situation of the Catalan entity will not allow to do big efforts in these last days of market, so the Barça will struggle with his arms and will take advantage of also to boost the exit of some player with which no longer explains, like Rafinha, Umtiti or Todibo, and of this way have more liquidity to fund the landing of some aim.

If it has to arrive one of the two, in any case, the most likely is that it was Eric García and no Depay. The central Catalan is priority to reinforce a defensive axis very mermado, and besides is the extra factor that the Manchester City, if it does not sell, will eat with potatoes the course of the player with the letter of freedom in June of 2021, without ingresar neither a euro by him.

Eric García, the one who has more ballots to arrive

Although the offer of 10 million euros of the Barça do not finish them to convince, is possible that to last hour the 'citizens' recess his pretences and finish accepting. Pep Guardiola pronounced in press conference this Friday about the hypothetical exit of his player, and the true is that neither the one of Sampedor knows for sure which sucederá of here to the Tuesday.

"I do not know what goes to happen. I can not answer this question. Today it is our player and the Monday finalises the market of signings, so I do not know exactly what will happen. I know that Eric wants to live in Barcelona, and that the FC Barcelona wants it. But I think that there is not agreement between the clubs. This is what know for now", went the answer of the Catalan technician. They happen the hours and, for the moment, everything is still in the air.
