FC Barcelona and Joan Laporta may be on the verge of saying goodbye to one of the star signings requested by the Barça president

Calendar of FC Barcelona

In the offices of the Camp Nou continue working to reinforce the staff of the first team of face to the next season. The FC Barcelona wants to complete "three or four signings" as it has confirmed the president of the club, Joan Laporta, recently. However, the financial situation is critical and the culés, with a lot of priorities, would be near ofp erder to one of the big aims of the club to reinforce the defensive saga.

Although it is true that the culés have 'overbooking' in the defence, with six head offices, in the club have like priority achieve a central left-handed of quality because there is not confidence, at all, in Clément Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti. Thus, from the City Condal had activated his radar and between the options has been, at all times, Aymeric Laporte, international with Spain and player of the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola.

The true is that, a priori, is an operción more than complicated because in the Barça are having a lot of problems to give him gone out to players that do not have space in the approach of Koeman. The club can achieve the traspaso of Samuel Umtiti to the Olympique Marseilles, but is difficult by the very high index card of the player (of 12 million euros) and the little physical reliability of the French player, remembering all his injuries. With Clément Lenglet, on the other hand, there are not offers still.

However, in spite of these two possible exits (natural), the mass salarial would continue being very high, by what the club has to sincerarse and put on the table operations of traspaso that are really possible. The one of Laporte, as it has aimed 'Sport', does not have a lot of feasibility for the culés because, to weigh that it is a player that likes to the club and to Laporta, in specific, from the Camp Nou consider that there are options of more level and younger (the 'citizen' is 27 years old).

Without barter, more difficult

In the last months had jumped the possibility that the Manchester City and FC Barcelona did a barter. The culés asked to Laporte to reinforce the central left-handed and offered to Sergi Roberto more some quantity of money, but from the Etihad Stadium did not agree and withdrew of the option, although Pep Guardiola wanted to 'help' to his ex team with a player with which does not explain.

On the other hand, the City does not want to leave go out to the ex of the Athletic of Bilbao by a low figure. Only they would consider his traspaso if it arrives an interesting offer, but is true that the Barça crosses an important financial crisis and can not allow a traspaso millionaire, that is what expect in England by the player.
