Confessions on the signings of Ousmane Dembélé and Arthur Melo

Urbano Ortega was one of the observers that worked in the technical office of the FC Barcelona that headed Robert Fernández until the arrival of Eric Abidal to the charge. In a talk with Esports Cope, spoke on some of the signings that made in previous stages as they can be Ousmane Dembélé or Arthur Melo.

One of the cases to mention is the one of the ex of the Guild of Carry Cheerful, that was fichado this past summer but that the previous technical office commissioned to leave tied. "To Arthur knew him from the 16 years and when we saw him already think that it was a pelotero style Xavi", said, adding that "Brazil is a selective market and remain by the big way players. Guild is a big club that knew to work with him and give him the handle".

Urbano Ortega also commented the case of Ousmane Dembélé, of the that recognised that already they knew his problems of irresponsibility: "When him fichamos, already knew of his problems of indiscipline and of his surroundings, that does not help him at all. Sometimes you have to risk, we think that it only was a problem of youth and could reconducir the situation"

The ex observer culé was more far and admitted that it could arrive Ousmane Mbappé: "No only there was the two options of Mbappé and Dembélé, there was some more. Sometimes the decision takes by a lot of circumstances: by the economic conditions, because this player does not want to come to argue him the place to a headline or because it prefers to step intermediate, as already it had happened us with Dembélé when we wanted to sign him a year before and went to the Dortmund".

The signings of Of Ligt and Of Jong

Urbano also spoke on the interest of the FC Barcelona in the fashionable Dutch couple in the Ajax: Frenkie of Jong and Matthijs of Ligt. The ex Barcelona observer recognised that they are two operations complicated to economic level by the competition, by what there is to try convince them by the road argumental.

Even it warned of the power of Paris Saint-Germain in both operations: "The competition is big. Paris Saint-Germain is a club with a lot of economic power. The Barça has to convince to the player with other arguments: come to a club where goes to enjoy playing of a very clear-cut way and where goes to compete by the big championships".
