FC Barcelona does not know if it will be able to go out "comfortably" to sign this summer, but if they manage to do so, they are clear that they will bet on a midfielder. Joshua Kimmich and Martín Zubimendi are the 'approved' options for Xavi Hernández, according to Mundo Deportivo

Calendar of FC Barcelona

One of the most notable folders of the FC Barcelona of face to the market of signings estival is the possible incorporation of a mediocentro. From the exit of Sergio Busquets, in 2023, the Barcelona are in the research of a player that can turn into his relief, but have not found him. Ficharon To Oriol Romeu from the Girona (€3.4m) and also have tested with the alternatives that offered the staff: Andreas Christensen, Frenkie of Jong and the own Ílkay Gündogan. Any has finished of 'convince'.

The intention, of face to this summer, is to do with the services of a footballer that can settle like pivote and elevate the level of the team from the axis of the room of machines. It is not a simple task, taking in account that the economic situation is not the ideal and are many the problems that exist with the Fair Play financial: If the club does not carry out sufficient operations and movements to fix his accounts, will not be able to go in in the parameters of the economic control of LaLiga and, therefore, will have a lot of problems to try reinforce.

From the dispatches of the club show absolute confidence in that they will attain the aim, although the panorama is not favourable. It is thus that from the sportive direction keep a casting open to define who will be the pivote that lead the centre of the field of Xavi Hernández. In the list have appeared a sinfín of names, but according to a recent information of 'Sportive World', have remained with two footballers: Joshua Kimmich (Bayern of Munich) and Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad). The two have been the profiles approved by the technical body in case that, finally, can go out to the market.

The options of the Barça.. Feasible?

There are not conversations boarded with any of the two neither, much less, concrete proposals on the table although, recently, the sportive director culé, Deco Souza, gathered with the representative of the born player in San Sebastián, Iñaki Ibáñez. It was a meeting scheduled and only for 'sondear' the possibility. It does not be necessary to overlook that, it does so alone some days, Zubimendi recognised quand "am happy in the Real Sociedad, is like my house", said to 'Koora', adding that "I can not say that I will play all my career in the Real because perhaps the club do not want to that it continue in the future. And I do not concern me by these rumours".

In the Barça are conscious that they are not in conditions of 'launch' to the career by any of the two mediocentros that are in the diary before defining if, really, will be able to assume his traspasos. It does not be necessary to forget that the player of the Real Sociedad has a clause of 60 million euros (that they do not pretend to go down) and that the Bayern of Munich would value the exit of the midfield player Teutonic by 50-€60m. The situation is not ideal and will require a reinforcement 'brutal' by part of the club to complete the wish of Xavi to have a pivote.
