Calendar of FC Barcelona

In the last hours, has insisted in that the FC Barcelona will try the incorporation of a mediocentro defensive in the market of wintry signings. They are in the research of a profile that generate consensus in the sportive area and that, besides, have a low price. The culés are in research of a 'bargain' and would be had to sacrifice the registration of Vitor Roque or Gavi in January to achieve to a new reinforcement for the pivote.

And it is that, although from the club and Xavi Hernández repeat that it keeps the confidence in Oriol Romeu, equally would be in the research of a player that can recalar in the club in the month of January. The operation is conditioned by the Fair Play financial, by what forces to the sportive direction to do 'miracles' with very little margin of manoeuvre in the market. A stage to the that already are accustomed the Barcelona.

The possible candidates of the Barça for the pivote

The case is that, with conditions so clear-cut and a very low budget, and Barça will have big problems to find to a player that can satisfy the needs that has the club. There is big players that will be in the market, but the economic factor 'limit' more than the account to the Catalans. It begins the game in which Deco and the representatives of the sportive direction will have to do magic.

'SPORT' Has elaborated a list of the possible candidates to reinforce the pivote in which it appears Guido Rodríguez, of the Real Betis, that has been in the diary of the culés by a long time. His agreement wins in 2024 and still has not renewed, by what no descarta that from Benito Villamarín finish putting it in the market to avoid that it leave free in June. Other alternatives, inside LaLiga, are Lucas Torró (Osasuna), that could cost €9m, Aleix García (Girona), whose value of market brushes the €10m, Fran Beltrán (Celtic) also by €10m.

Without place to doubts, the better option valued always has been the one of the mediocentro Argentinian, but is likely to be the highest. The before quoted source signals that the movement could reach the €28m, an inaccessible figure for the Barça in the short term. The others alternative that are in Spain would be more economic, but are not players that the club pose on a long-term basis and one of the conditions that have for fichar is that it was a bet that was further to cover the gap in the 2024.

The alternatives of the Barça out of LaLiga

In case that the players that are in the Spanish tournament do not finish convincing, there are other alternatives out of LaLiga that can call the attention of the culés, but that obviously will mean an important investment. It is the case of Leandro Walls (ACE Rome) by some €9m, Özcan (Borussia Dortmund) by some €13m, Jorginho (Arsenal) by €15m in front of the possibility that it do not extend his agreement in London, Zakaria (ACE Monaco) by 20 millions. Ezequiel Palaces (Leverkusen) could cost 35 'kilos', whereas Lavia (Chelsea) would brush the €50m.
