The FC Barcelona is not for 'give' central. Samuel Umtiti is lesionado and will not go back to get dressed of short until February, whereas the record of injuries of Thomas Vermaelen does to think that, in spite of the big performance that is offering in the last weeks, is not neither a reliable option until final of season by the risk to lose him in several parties.
It is thus that the Barça wishes that Mascherano, although it finds in the door of exit of face to the next market of signings of winter, report a true economic profit to the club like contrapartida for leaving before fulfilling the agreement that has signed until June of 2019.
The FC Barcelona would have the intention of fichar to Yerry Mina or to another reinforcement in winter to counter the course of Mascherano, and is thus that from the Catalan entity would ask 10 or 11 million euros to the Chinese club that wish to do with the services of the Argentinian, since in spite of his 33 years Mascherano continue being one of the best of the world in his position.
What will happen with the future of Mascherano?
The Barcelona club would consider insufficient the offer of 5-6 million euros that says that they would be had to offer from China, and from 'MD' ensure that in the Catalan entity expect that said quantity increase at least until the 10 millions.
It will be necessary to expect to new informations, in any case, to know if fragua a course of Mascherano that still is in the air, although the player already has ensured in multiple occasions that wishes to have more minutes and that it is conscious that it no longer has the same leading paper in the FC Barcelona that in previous years. For the moment, know how will resolve the traspaso is an incógnita.
