Unexpected turn: Barça would have contacted Marc Bartra

The FC Barcelona is centred in the 'leading operation' and search desperately the signing of one or two attackers for the market of winter. Besides, also it works in the arrival of Erling Haaland for summer, although it will not be at all easy to concretise the traspaso. It was as it was, up to now the Barcelona have showed that the zone that more concerns in the breast of the entity is the forward.

Nevertheless, in spite of everything, in the newspaper 'SPORT' ensure that the defensive line also generates some restlessness in the club. Eric García, arrived in summer of the City, seems not having the confidence of Xavi Hernández that up to now it has decanted more by Clément Lenglet and even by Samuel Umtiti. The French, however, neither generate tranquility and could abandon the team sooner that late, especially the one of Yaoundé.

Ronald Araújo​ himself is a wall backwards, but still has to renew and can not descartar to 100% that the Barça listen offers by him if for real it needs to collect money to fund the signing of Haaland. Finally, Gerard Hammered has already 34 years and do not remain him more than one or two to good level. The '3' no longer is the one who was and in Barcelona have to find him a substitute of guarantees that like to the trainer.

By all this, in the mentioned sportive newspaper announce that the culés would have initiated contacts with Marc Bartra. The ex canterano barcelonista is surrendering to good level in the Betis, would be an economic incorporation and would be loved to go back to which went his house. From the breast of the entity also thinks that his return could be very positive, since to his 30 years has the experience and the know be that it did not arrive to have in his stage in the first team blaugrana.

The defender finishes agreement in 2023 and has not renewed, by what could be relatively simple agree his traspaso with the Betis. His price of exit could be some 10 or 12 million euros, a figure more than asumible for the Barcelona. Besides, his wage neither would be high, something that also is necessary to take into account. Reduce mass salarial is key for the Catalans and 'change' the wage of Umtiti or the one of Lenglet by the one of Bartra would be positive in this sense.

An interesting signing for the bench

For the moment, only there would have been a first contact between the Barça and the defender, although in the next months could have more. Xavi will have a lot that say in this, since only it will arrive to the Camp Nou if he gives his seen well. His paper in the Barcelona picture would be clearly secondary, since it does not give the level to be titularísimo, but like fourth head office could be an interesting signing.
