Strengthen the right side, Barça's great priority at the end of the market

Xavi Hernández left clear in the previous of the party in front of the Valladolid that the priority of the FC Barcelona in the last week of the market of summer will be fichar a right side. After falling the option of César Azpilicueta, the options aim to Thomas Meunier, Juan Foyth and Héctor Bellerín, as long as Sergiño Dest leave this week, as it wishes the technician egarense.

In this sense, Xavi ensured in the previous press conference to the day 3 of LaLiga that "there is different stages. Have win that it finish the market to know the staff that have.

The Wednesday, the míster of Terrassa left clear to Dest that does not have he, giving him grieve 10 minutes of game in the friendly in front of the Manchester City (3-3).

For the moment, the most viable alternative for the Barça is Bellerín, since the Borussia Dortmund and the Villarreal are not had to negotiate by Meunier and Foyth, respectively. Instead, the Arsenal himself is had to negotiate by the defender of 27 years, the one who played the past season yielded with the Betis.

In this regard, Xavi trusts that, if it does not arrive the Madrilenian, with Jordi Alba and Alejandro Balde can cover the left side in the first-half of the season.

"Seeing the projection of Balde have the position of left side very covered. In the right side have to Sergi and Dest, but he already knows the situation of the club and my posture to him. They will have to play Sergi, Ronald or Jules (Koundé). The intention that has the club is to reinforce the position of the right side", sentenced the technician egarense, the one who left to glimpse that Balde will be again title the Sunday. "It is a footballer to take into account for the present and the future. It is not easy to play with this personality", puntualizó.
