BARÇA WANTS TO SIGN IN JANUARY
Barça's five 'low cost' alternatives to reinforce the pivot
FC Barcelona would have the intention of signing an 'extra' pivot for the second leg of the 2023/2024 season and from the club they assume that it will have to be an economic operation to be able to fit him into the Fair Play
It goes finishing the market of signings estival, but already the FC Barcelona would be thinking in the possible incorporations for the month of January. As it comes informing in the last days, the Barcelona would try to concretise the incorporation of a mediocentro that serve of reinforcement. Right now, only there is a pivote in the staff (Oriol Romeu) and Xavi Hernández, beside his technical body, fear that sometime it can have a physical problem and remain without alternatives.
Frenkie Of Jong is another of the players that can play in the mediocentro, but is not a guarantee. The trainer of Terrassa prefers that it play beside another midfield player to explode all his qualities. Of there that in this season was showing his more reliable version and was being, beside Jules Koundé, the most important player of the Barça. They do not want to him change of position and, thus, would be in the research of an alternative in the market.
The options of the Barça for the pivote
The big problem for the Catalans is that they will not be in conditions to face up to him a millionaire operation. The priority will be to inscribe to Vitor Roque, the one who will arrive pertinent of the Athletico Paranaense, by what the options to add more reinforcements will be viable only if they are operations 'low cost'. 'Sportive world' has done a list of the possible candidates and appears the name of Guido Rodríguez is in the list. It was an alternative in the past market, but did not generate consensus.
It finish agreement with the Real Betis on 30 June of the next year and there are not conversations for his renewal, by what in January could go out by a quite reduced price if they finish deciding by him. There is very good relations with the verdiblancos. Another alternative is Jorginho (Arsenal) that has seen displaced to the bench from the arrival of Declan Crimp to the Emirates Stadium. His agreement also wins in 2024, but in front of the little quantity of minutes could finish going out of form 'low cost' and the Barça would take advantage of it.
Players experienced and the 'perla' charrúa
The international with Italy is a player with a lot of experience that from the City Condal have valued for many years. It is a similar case to the of Thiago Alcántara, of the Liverpool, the one who already could go out this summer. It has seen relegado to the bank of acting in front of the big competition in the centre of the field, but already knows very well the style culé and would add a lot of 'harp' to the medullary in spite of his 32 years.
Another that is in equality of conditions is Rabiot, the one who finishes agreement with the Juventus in juno. It is in a good state of form, is polyvalent and a player that has been in the diary culé during a long time. Finally, it is the very commented option of Fabricio Díaz, pivote of the Liverpool of Montevideo that it could recalar in the City Condal by 'alone' nine million euros.
