The market of signings of the summer 2019 has like protagonist to the FC Barcelona, immersed in another important reform of his staff. The Catalans want to step advance and already have confirmed several reinforcements for the first team, although they do not lose of sight the inferior categories and also have done officials some incorporations that will improve the filial.

Between the recently arrived to the City Condal finds Hiroki Abe, an attacker of hardly 20 years that played in the Kashima Antlers. The priority of the window estival was to concretise the return of Takefusa Kubo, but when they complicated the negotiations with the ex of the Masia, the managers culés activated another contracting of a lot of carats.
