The FC Barcelona has done all his duties to be able to fulfil with the offensive wishes (to exception of Morata) that has wanted to Xavi Hernández for this second half of season. However, the previous technical office had in mind the incorporation of Samuel Lino, a stranger for many and that, according to the observers of the club, could be a total tarpaulin for the next years.
Nevertheless, the little investment that did the Barça in summer left in 'pause' the movement by the forward of Gil Vicente Portuguese, and preferred to bet by 'Ez' Abde. To the equal that with the Moroccan, the intention was ficharle so that it was alternating between the filial and the first team, but the operation could not concretise. The Brazilian was in the 'orbit' blaugrana, but the subject left for afterwards.
Now, the Athletic of Madrid did not leave to happen the opportunity and burst into in the plans of the Barcelona to finish signing him for the next campaign. Luis Suárez seems that has his days explained inside the group colchonero and the offensive of the 'Cholo' Simeone has been duramente criticised in this season. It is thus that Lino is one of the indicated to add arms in the front of attack rojiblanco, and unlike the Barcelona, have him fichado so that it do life in the first plantel.
The Madrilenian directive has seen sufficient potential in him to include him directly in the staff. With 22 years, handles very well with both feet and has a hammer in short powerful that guarantees the desborde in the one against one. Besides, it is a big striker and can finalise the played. Several teams like the Port wine and the Benfica have been after his steps during this season, but the surroundings of the 'canarinho' wanted to give 'the big step' and land in Spain. Another 'bargain' that escapes him to the Barcelona.
Thinking in the spare of Dembélé
Although Ousmane Dembélé still saw the elastic culé and keeps on being an important player for Xavi, the true is that his exit is practically imminent. That's why a footballer of the characteristics of Lino could have been an interesting piece under the orders of the egarense. In spite of this, the opportunity has banished and now remains to expect the recovery of Ansu Fati and explore the next market of signings, having in mind that the big aim of Joan Laporta is Erling Haaland.
