With the sale of Franck Kessié to the To the-Ahli, the FC Barcelona has closed officially his second traspaso of the summer.

For the Barça, the next aims regarding traspasos refers are Clément Lenglet and Sergiño Dest. With the Frenchman still there are hopes to find him place in the Tottenham, further of the doubts of the 'Spurs' to close his purchase. In the case of the American, the rescission of agreement earns strength in the last days, since the directive follows without receiving offers by the one of Almere, even, to negotiate his cession by six months or a year.

Regarding shopping, casually the ex pivote of the Girona is the only reinforcement that has required an immediate investment (3.4M€), since Iñigo Martínez and Ílkay Gündogan arrived with letter of freedom. Once they resolve the exits of Lenglet and Dest, the priority is fichar a right side and a mediapunta, in the measure in which the conditions of market and the 'Fair Play' financial allow it.
