Ten years after the departure of Thiago Alcántara from FC Barcelona, just after being crowned champion of the Under-21 Euro Cup in Israel, the Blaugrana team could repeat history with Nico González, who aims to leave Barcelona 'definitely'
In the FC Barcelona, in all his categories, loan special attention to the midfield players. They look for that they follow the style of the club and that comport like the playmakers that promote to all the team. All develops around them and is the main reason by which is so difficult to triumph in the City Condal if you play in the medullary.... And, especially, by what is so complicated to replace them.
The Barça suffered more than the account when they left Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta and is doing it with the goodbye of Sergio Busquets, because they have not found him a relief. Although it still remains more than a month and half so that it begin the season 2023-2024, in the club are many the doubts. They will be able to replace him?, the one who relieve him will adapt rapido?, extrañará to 'Busi' more than the account? The doubts are many because, unfortunately, did not achieve him an able player to substitute him to time.
It was Nico González the indicated?
The true is that the situation of the Barça could have been distinct if it had given him continuity to Nico González, the one who was called to be the natural relief of Sergio Busquets and was formed for this in The Masia. However, it is to a step to go out of the City Condal in a definite transfer (although still there are not formal offers)... To repeat the 'case Thiago' of, exactly, ten years ago?
To do memory, in 2013 the Barcelona completed the sale of Thiago Alcántara to the Bayern of Munich. In this moment, the midfield player already had showed to have a lot of level to be in the first team and be a regular player, but in front of the big competition in the medullary (with Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta in his best moment) had to step at the side and add to a project where could grow and have more minutes. It achieved it under the orders of Pep Guardiola in Munich. The Barça finish arrepintiéndose to have 'given' to one of the footballers that more guarantees can offer from the mediocentro.
The possibilities that the Barça arrepienta
Saving the differences, the Barça can repeat the history with the exit of Nico this summer. It returns of his cession in Valencia and everything seems to indicate to that it does not have hollow in the plans of Xavi Hernández for the next course, although they still do not have fichado to a pivote and that will have a lot of difficulties to do it by the -interminable- financial problems and with the Fair Play of LaLiga. It does not be necessary descartar that, if the midfield player has regulate and him 'forgive' the injuries, can be the new Thiago Alcántara for the culés. Ten years afterwards.
