Joan Laporta, new president of the FC Barcelona, already contemplates distinct alternatives to reinforce the position of '9' of face to the next season

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The position of leading centre is one of which more concerns to Joan Laporta of face to the next season. In spite of that the FC Barcelona directed by Ronald Koeman has stood out during this campaign like a big offensive team and with an important efficiency of face to rival goal, the reality is that in the parties of elder sues the Barcelona picture suffers the consequences of not having the presence of a '9' goleador that decide said clashes.

Afterwards of the game of Luis Suárez, the staff culé remained with Martin Braithwaite like only attacker with the function of striker. This appearance has forced to the Dutch technician to adapt his diagram to these lacks, treating to take out the maximum of players that are more creators that finallizadores, as Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembélé or Lionel Messi. An approach that has not resulted of the all bad to the team. However, of face to the next course, president and trainer have clear that needs an ariete of area to be able to aspire to achieve all the competitions. When analysing the market, the Barcelona sportive direction already has of seven finalists to reinforce the front of attack.

The two more wished forwards

Those that head the list of wishes of Laporta, and of the barcelonismo whole, are also those that will demand a greater economic effort: Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. These footballers are called to lead the world-wide football during the next decade. The president considers them like an investment, by what would generate so much to sportive level as of income. Nevertheless, the big problem resides in the economic requirements of the PSG and Dortmund to leave them split.

His signings rondarían near of the 200 million euros, an astronomical figure, especially in a situation where the big clubs have seen gravely affected owing to the pandemia. Although, in spite of the critical situation of the institution, Laporta no the descarta. The president will look for to free mass salarial with the heavy exits of Griezmann or Dembélé, for like this have the necessary budget for his signing. It will not be simple, but Laporta will try to cost of his contacts to convince to these stars.

Two difficult signings

Likewise, the pair of the Inter of Milan convinces a lot to Laporta. Lukaku Was one of the requests of Koeman when it arrived to the Camp Nou. It coincided with the Belgian forward in the Everton, by what knows his potential. It is a physical attacker, possesses big definition and is a big striker, that would offer an aggregated value to the parties equalised: 25 goals in 34 parties this course endorse him. On the other hand, Lautaro Martínez would go back to go in to scene. It is a '9' fighting, solves fast and never gives a balloon by stray. Besides, has a good relation with Messi and his 23 years is an important plus.

The main problem of both is his cost. The Belgian forward has an agreement until 2024 and a value of 90 millions. It is one of the most valuable pieces of his team, by what will not leave it go of simple way neither economic. Whereas with the Argentinian, the negotiations froze and could renew his agreement in the weeks to come. His price also is high (70 millions). Laporta Follows his situation closely. As if they force his exit, could offer an interesting proposal.

The most affordable forwards

The list of finalists close it the three more affordable options, and that have sounded with strength to land in the Camp Nou. Sergio 'Kun' Agüero no descarta change of airs after finalising agreement with the Manchester City. This besides would be a good argument to facilitate the renewal of Messi. It is a '9' that him sobran the goals, but his 33 years and the grave injury that suffered this course generates doubts. On the other hand, Memphis Depay also could arrive free and is a wish express of Koeman. LaLiga Avoided his incorporation in the market of summer, but follows had to join to the Barcelona club, and to follow Koeman in the bench, could do reality.

Laporta Also contemplates like option to Lacazette. The forward of the Arsenal finalises agreement in 2022, and the gunners would facilitate his course not to leave him go free. It is fast and good goleador. It is 29 years old and it could offer an immediate performance and several years of good performances. Likewise, it is important to highlight that neither president neither technician wish another year without a '9' that ensure the important goals each season. Has options and prices of all the colours. The cleaning of the staff will be what will finish defining what sucederá.
