The FC Barcelona has closed officially the signing of Paulinho by 40 million euros, and already has to the reinforcement that was looking for so that it exert the same function that in his day fulfilled Seydou Keita, a hybrid of muscle, technical and arrival
The FC Barcelona finish to incorporate officially to a new player for the medullary, Paulinho. After the arrival fallida of Verratti, Paulinho presented like a more feasible alternative to fulfil the role that in his day had Keita in the rows of the FC Barcelona, the one of a footballer that do not have why be indisputable headline but surrender whenever it was ranged on the lawn.
That at least would have been the will of the technical secretary of the FC Barcelona, Robert Fernández, when considering to Paulinho like a player with similar characteristics to the of Mali. It treats of a footballer of big physical potential, but no exento of a good technician for no desentonar in a team of virtuosos, with aggressiveness to defend and steal balloons and also with good arrival to finish played.
Something that did to perfection Keita, that marked 22 goals in his stage in the Camp Nou. This type of player missed in parties of the past Champions like those two fateful nights, the one of Paris and the one of Turín. One had solution, but the another no longer there was way to remedy it. Thus, the club does not want to repeat errors and has fichado to a player with similar characteristics to the ones of Keita. A lung that was not coarse.
After Paulinho, can arrive Coutinho and Dembélé
With Paulinho in the staff of Ernesto Valverde, the big victim will be a Samper to the one who the Barça already would have communicated him that it will not have place in the first team this next campaign. It foresees that in the next days land also Philippe Coutinho, and in this case Burn Turan will be the attendant to do the cases, without descartar that join him Rafinha Alcántara or some another effective of the centre of the field.
Little by little, the Barça goes defining the staff to few weeks already so that it close the market estival of signings. After Paulinho and the imminent arrival of Coutinho, Dembélé could be the fifth and last signing of the FC Barcelona this summer to cover the place of Neymar Jr.
