Follow the 'soap opera': The three options for 'Operation 9' are complicated

The FC Barcelona follows studying his options to reinforce the forward the team. The priority of the directed by Xavi is to tackle the signing of a '9' of first level, a figure contrasted that him of the jump of necessary quality to the staff to be candidates to win everything. A lot of names have rondado around the offices of the Camp Nou, but the three favourites are Erling Haaland, Robert Lewandowski and Mohamed Salah. However, the operations will not be at all simple.

The Norwegian is the favourite of Xavi Hernández and the managerial culé, but his operation antoja quite complicated. His clause of rescission of 75 million euros and his wage 'affordable' to be a star of the football, did to see to the culés this signing like something more than possible. In spite of this, the very high commission of 100 million euros, that would deliver between his surroundings, has represented a grandísimo problem for the club. The Barcelona entity is conscious of his delicate economic situation and does not plan to do madnesses to bring to a player.

However, from Can Barça expect to convince to the forward of the Borussia Dortmund to go down his economic pretences. The Catalans support in the promising sportive project and the opportunity to be the main championed of the same to attract to the goleador to his rows, by what the hopes still are not lost of the everything.

On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski would be in the 'ramp' of exit of the Bayern of Munich. The Pole finishes agreement in 2023 and has not arrived to an agreement with the Bavarian team, by what is likely that the player do the cases to new 'horizons'. It is here where goes in the Barça, that see this like an opportunity inmejorable in case of not being able to concretise to Haaland. The '9' of the Bayern would arrive to give immediate performance, however, from the club still are not convinced of his signing. The problem would be his age (fulfils 34 years in August), and the fact to have to negotiate with the team muniqués for fichar to the footballer. It is the less likely option of all those that handles the club.

'Joker' Salah

The Egyptian has appeared with strength during the last days. The footballer and the Liverpool have broken, for the moment, the negotiations to extend his agreement, which wins in 2023. From Can Barça see this like a 'train' that would not have to leave 'escape', when being one of the most notable figures of the world of the football. His age gives him some advantage regarding Lewandowski, since the 'pharaoh' is 4 lower years that the Pole. However, his price (the signing would not go down of 90 millions) and his lace in the club, have woken up the doubts in the City Condal. His arrival would depend on his interest for testing new 'airs' and the level of Aubameyang, that no entorpecería the possible role of 'Mo' in the team and that would remove him to the club the need to buy a '9'.
