There is casting in the FC Barcelona of face to the future in the desperate research of a player that can turn into a leader, to short and average term of the team. What already would be confirmed for the Barcelona picture is that it will not be Dani Alves, the one who has sounded in the last weeks like a possible reinforcement for the team, considering that the carioca is without team and that, in fact, offered to return to the Camp Nou, if the club needs it.
"If the Barça thinks that it needs me only has to call me. I am still thinking that I can contribute in any place, but more in the Barça by the quantity of youngsters that has now", declared Alves does some weeks, after it terminated of his agreement with the São Paulo and began his research of team, to the 38 years. Nevertheless, from the City Condal already have warned him: they are not considering his return.
From 'Orne Football' have desvelado that the Barça has not moved neither contacted with the right side to value a possible return to the Camp Nou. Joan Laporta and company keep the idea that the 'reform' of the Barcelona team has to be based in young players, preferably of The Masia, and that do not want to more veteran footballers in the changing room... Because already there is too many.
The case is that, of agreement to the half before quoted, the Barça is very conscious of the level of the player that does some months carried the gold in the Olympic games of Tokyo and of the leadership that could contribute in the changing room (that it does fault), but do not pose give him a 'opportunity', like this need reinforcements. In definite, has not existed any movement and, save to a big surprise, will not have it.
Another point that goes in in consideration is the subject salarial and is very very known that the FC Barcelona is not in conditions to do some effort, because the conditions are not given. It is necessary to remember that the entity culé crosses a delicate economic crisis and that, besides, exceeds (by a lot of) his mass salarial, reason by which has to stick to the rule '1 to 4' of LaLiga, which establishes that by each four euros freed by sales with plusvalías and discounts salariales, will be able to invest a euro for the registration of a new player.
Dani Alves, one of the best right sides of the history, always has had wages very high and surely in the Barça would not be the exception, by what is another reason so that since the Camp Nou the 'descarten' completely. A "thank you, but no" of Laporta and all his team and a decision more than 'positive' for the club.
The wrap with the right side
There are not doubts that the right side is one of the positions that more headaches gives to the Barça, because there are three players 'natural' for this gap: Sergiño Dest, Sergi Roberto and Òscar Mingueza. Regarding the North American, Koeman has been it testing like right extreme and his performances have been very stood out, because add to the offensive gives him much better that defend, reason by which aims to remain in this position.
In the case of Sergi Roberto, are many the doubts that there is regarding the of Reus, because his level is alejadísimo to the true requests of the team. It commits a lot of errors and sins to be very slow to the moment to pursue to the rivals, without explaining that it no longer is a reliable player to add to the attack. Mingueza, finally, has remained like a very effective resource, although his natural demarcation is like right-handed head office. The canterano has fulfilled, with solvency, even surpassing to the captain culé.
