BARÇA DOES NOT KNOW IF HE WILL SIGN A SIDE
The 'free' wildcards for the right side of Barça
As of today, there is no certainty that FC Barcelona can sign a right-back during this summer transfer window. For this reason, from the club they will pay a lot of attention to the 'free' options that are in the squad
The FC Barcelona is preparing , to fire very slow, for the market of signings estival. In the middle of the economic difficulties by which is crossing the club (that it will force, for example, to the managerial board to present a guarantee to avoid sanctions), foresees that the list of possible incorporations was very short, more than the expected. Thus, to day of today is descartada the incorporation of a right side.
The problem is that, for the moment, in the staff of Xavi Hernández there is not any natural player for this position. There is 'overbooking' of head offices, balance between the offensive and attacker midfield players, but the Barça does not have to a right-handed side neither to a defensive pivote. They would have to be the big priorities of the culés and, although they are in the research of a relief for Sergio Busquets, a player for the band is not in the list.
The possible solutions for Xavi Hernández
The trainer egarense and his staff technical will be forced to be followed 'resolving' with what there is home. Already in the season that finish to finish saw how bet of constant way by Jules Koundé like right side. It is not an unknown position for the French, but yes notice him lacks. It developed in this position in the inferior categories of the Girondins of Burdeos and, in several stretches, exerted in this place in the Seville and recently in the selection of France.
Koundé Has fulfilled, but has not been comfortable like side. It has cost him in the shrinkings and is not one 'bullet' to the hour to add to the attack, but yes is the most reliable alternative in the staff. The international with France has rotado with footballers like Ronald Araújo (in special parties) or Sergi Roberto, the one who by his polivalencia has added a lot of minutes in the right band, although it is not a fixed in the plans of Xavi. Not even like midfield player.
The one of Reus is not an option with which Xavi will explain to 100%, but will follow rotando and 'supporting' from the bench. In the case of Araújo, foresees that it will continue appearing like side in punctual cases, when they have players very difficult to defend by the band, as it is the case of Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid). The charrúa, by physical power and capacity to impose in the one against one, is a player that can resolve a lot of problems by the side. The problem is to the hour to add to the attack.
It does not be necessary descartar, neither, that Alejandro Balde can add minutes by the right. To weigh that it is a fixed in the left side, in several occasions appeared to leg changed for 'cover' the gap in front of the absences of other players. It is very likely that, in cases of emergency, leave to Marcos Alonso in his place 'favourite' and pass to play in the right-handed band.
Possible signings 'free' for the side of the Barça
It is necessary to take in account that the Barça could add two reinforcements for the side: Sergio Dest, that will return of his cession of the AC Milan and still does not have offers to abandon the City Condal. To the trainer culé never has convinced him for the position (therefore it asked that it went out), but could be an option validate if they do not find him team. Of the same way, is the case of Julián Araújo that will test during the pre-season with the first team and aims to add a lot of minutes under the orders of Xavi... If it convinces.
