Jeremy Mathieu, near of fichar by the FC Barcelona

As it has published the newspaper "Sport", Mathieu will be probably the first player of field in fichar by the FC Barcelona this next summer after the arrivals of Marc-André Ter Stegen and the recovery of Rafinha Alcántara and Gerard Deulofeu, yielded the past course to Celtic and Everton respectively. To his 30 years (will fulfil 31 in the month of September), Mathieu is a defender experienced that stands out mainly by a polivalencia that allows him play of left-handed head office or in the left side, being able to exert also functions of extreme.

The technical office headed by Andoni Zubizarreta would carry following his performances from the past season, and unlike operations more complex like the one of Marquinhos, this could close in question of few days as long as Valencia do not put up the price of his economic requests by a footballer that finds already in the decline of his career. The Catalan newspaper, besides, dares to affirm that the signing of Claudio Bravo like second goalkeeper could fall this same week, and that after the arrival of the Chilean the following in announcing would be the one of Mathieu.

Valencia, by his part, could have already tied to the relief of the French player, the Senegalese Cheikhou Kouyaté, of the Anderlecht, that would arrive also to cover the drop of an Adil Rami that was yielded the past season in the Milan and probably remain .

No ilusiona for nothing to the barcelonismo

In the last survey launched by the newspaper "Sport", only 2% of the users marked the name of Mathieu like option to choose to reinforce the defensive saga of the FC Barcelona, in comparison with 22% that chose to Marquinhos. The French is not bad player, but does not have the sufficient level to play in the Barcelona group and besides remain him few years of football to the maximum level. If it confirms his arrival, to the price that was, will not be a big solution for the defensive problems of the team.
