The FC Barcelona understands that it has to reinforce for the second half of the season and also of face to the future, since there are some movements that could occur inside the staff in the next months. The one who more calls the attention is the exit of Sergio Busquets, since it is for finalising his agreement and does not seem to have intention any to renew.
The exit of the captain with possible destination to the MLS leaves in a crossing to the technical body and to the Barcelona executives because there are several candidates that can do with the position. Although the club prefers to incorporate talent to cost zero as they are it Youri Tielemans, Jorginho or N'Golo Kanté, also exist other names that step firm and that like much more in the offices of the club.
According to an information desvelada by the journalist Gerard Romero, the favourite pivote of the technical office is Martín Zubimendi, the midfield player of the Real Sociedad. The Basque has agreement until 2027 with the group donostiarra but his clause of exit keeps in 60 million euros, a figure that could be negotiable as long as the player put of his part to facilitate an exit.
However, for the president Joan Laporta would be Rúben Neves the one who more fits him for the present and future of the Barcelona, since it is an option that Jorge Mendes has put him on the table. For anybody is a secret that the mandator has very good relation with the 'superagente' Portuguese, what would facilitate the negotiations so that the mediocentro seen the elastic culé.
The posture of Xavi Hernández
The technician considers that Zubimendi is the ideal spare for 'Busi' for the medullary, so much by youth as by his characteristics on the terrain of game. Nevertheless, the quoted source ensures that in case that the elected went Neves, would like him remain with Busquets at least by a season more. This would have to see with the adaptation of the luso to the style of game of the Barça and because the pivote is a very important position in the approach of Xavi. The club can not fail in the relief of one of the most important players in the history of the institution.
