Aleñá, with options to leave Barça in January

The centre of the field of the FC Barcelona has an important 'overbooking' in the present season. Three places for seven footballers (Frenkie of Jong, Arthur Melo, Sergio Busquets, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic, Sergi Roberto and Carles Aleñá) do that many of them are having an alarming fault of leadership, being meat of traspaso in January.

Although the most commented case in the last days is the one of Rakitic, does not be necessary to cover the eyes in front of the situation of Aleñá​. The circumstances that surround to the canterano Barcelona are more than odd, especially because the FC Barcelona put special impetus in avoiding his course in summer in front of the interest of the Real Betis for doing with his services.

From the technical body, considered to the midfield player of Mataró like a key piece and, in fact, Ernesto Valverde gave him the titularity in the first party of LaLiga Santander against the AthleticClub . The problem for him was that only it lasted 45 minutes on the terrain of game, in which the technician extremeño him abroncó of conclusive form and signalled him changing it in the rest.

The worst of everything is that the 'punishment' of the Txingurri to the boy of the Masia prolongs until the actuality and proof of this is the invalid participation of an Aleñá that has been absent by technical decision in seven lists of summoned and has remained in the bench in two parties more in which, obviously, has not contested neither an alone minute.

The situation of the Catalan midfield player is complicated and no longer is at all descabellado think in a more than possible change of airs in January. To the 21 years, Aleñá needs to play regularly to follow progressing and turn into an important footballer, but does not seem that Valverde have thought a change of plans with him. Anyway, girlfriends do not go him to be missing.

Rakitic, in a similar situation

The case of Rakitic is distinct, but with the same bases that the one of Aleñá. The Croat is 31 years old and, in front of his fault of minutes, has to take advantage of now that has poster in Europe to sign what can be his last big agreement with another club. Quality him leftover, but the patience begins him to exhaust for being without opportunities. Like the Catalan, is a firm candidate to go .
