Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona and the Juventus of Turín follow negotiating to arrive to an agreement of exchange of players, a formula that supposes an ideal alternative in the frame of a financial stage very weakened by the descent of income caused by the stop of the competitions owing to the coronavirus. The conversations advance fluently and there are several names on of the table.

In the first place it is the one of Miralem Pjanic, a player that the Barça already wanted until in two occasions in previous seasons and that finally could arrive to the 30 years, with a curriculum impoluto that gives him reliability. Several sectors of the national and international press ensure that the culés already have the 'OK' of the midfield player bosnio, that would sign for the next four seasons.

The culés have a second name whose agreement already would be practically in the pocket. It treats of Mattia Of Sciglio, Italian side that stands out by his polivalencia and versatility. His operation is not so advanced like the one of Pjanic, but everything goes by good way and seems that finally the player also will give the seen well to close his pass to the Camp Nou.

According to the informations published pro the newspaper Sport, the Juventus also would have to a player of the FC Barcelona entirely agreed to. It treats of Jean-Clair Todibo, to the that the Catalan club considers more a piece of exchange that an alternative to close the staff of Quique Setién. The culés prefer to Ronald Araújo and the Italians also would have agreed to the agreement with the player.

Rakitic, key to close the barter

Arthur Melo​ is the favourite player of the Juventus of Turín to close the agreement with the FC Barcelona, but the Brazilian denies in rotundo to go out and only an offer estratosférica to economic level could do him change of opinion. Besides, the club culé also prefers that the deal close with another midfield player, in this case one of the two that have the highest index card of the staff: Arturo Vidal or Ivan Rakitic.

The Chilean seems that it has it done with the Inter of Milan, by what the Barça would be loved that it was the Croat the player that dressed of bianconero, since it finishes agreement in 2021 and urge take out profit by him.

In the Juventus, in spite of that prefer to somebody young like Arthur, also could see with good eyes go to the load to by Rakitic as they already did in 2019. Nevertheless, the Italians will have to convince him with a good offer since, by the moment, the Croat prefers to remain to be able to leave free to the Seville in 2021.
