Manchester City have already helped Barça solve their problem with the right-back and now they could do so with the midfielder, especially with Deco being the great interest in having the 'discarded' Kalvin Phillips
As we already explain this Wednesday in FCBN, Kalvin Phillips has clear the interest of the FC Barcelona in doing of his services. The operation would have like big manager to the sportive director of the institution, Deco, the one who follows him from his stage in the Leeds United, when the Portuguese exerted like representative of Raphinha.
Like this it explains it 'ACE', aiming that the luso-Brazilian wants to base in this knowledge to try leave clear to Xavi Hernández and his staff that the British player could contribute this balance that so much needs the Barça in the medullary zone and besides do it with an immediate performance. The situation seems necessary in a moment of the course in which they define the titles and after it already has remained clear that the bet of Oriol Romeu has not finished being the one who the Barcelona club expected.
The Barça will have to struggle very strong by this balance that so much needs
However, the Barça confronts to a complex problem, since the player wants to take a decision on his future the next week at most, and the culés do not have the economic availability to assume the wage of the English, that is not precisely low, as it is used to suceder in the Premier League. Besides, so much the Athletic of Madrid like the Juventus also are interested in his services, without descartar other clubs of the Premier League.
Of this way, if the Barcelona wants to fichar to the English, would have to go in in a bidding that does not seem to be the simplest of all, but that if Deco is able to converse directly with Phillips could increase his options if it exists a good roll between both parts and leaves him see his possible titularity 'ensured' in the team culé once can be available.
A bet that is not exenta of risk for the Barça
Deco Would be betting by a mediocentro that in little more than half season has not explained almost for Pep Guardiola in the City. It accumulates only 89 minutes in the current Premier League, divided in 4 parties and adding all the competitions grieve has played 10 meetings. Only 319 minutes seem to leave clear that if the Barça complete the operation would be receiving to a player that can arrive without competitive rhythm, further of his checked quality, especially in the English selection.
