The strategy of the FC Barcelona in the market veraniego was not the best, but after some months of doubts has made the best of the signings with the renewal of Leo Messi. Even finding in a season of transition, the Catalans want to follow aspiring to all the titles at stake, and for this could correspond to the ambition of the Argentinian with some incorporations in January.
Between all the candidates follows having one stood out, Philippe Coutinho, that could not play the Champions but would give an evident jump of quality to the staff culé. With the Brazilian like alternative in the centre of the field could manage better the efforts of Andrés Iniesta, that would be cooler in Europe with a relief of a lot of level in League and Glass.
It is thus that the Barça will arm of patience to go back to insist to the Liverpool, that knows that his will be the best offer by the footballer. Still there is time of reaction in a course that has not begun of the best way and the one of River is one of the keys of the group that directs Jürgen Klopp, but of the same way, the money ingresado by his sale would allow to tackle some reinforcements for the defence of the 'reds', of far his worst line.
More options
What has clear the Barça is that it will not risk more than the necessary to retouch the staff in January, and only will bet by players contrasted that they can fit in the plans of Ernesto Valverde. The wintry market comports a lot of danger for finding enmedio of the season, and options like Mesut Özil still generate doubts. Coutinho Does not present them, but neither will turn into a drama like the one of the past August: apurarán the options by his arrival but will not televise a new serial. It is not the moment.
