The Barça already would have to two favourites if index card a central in January

Samuel Umtiti will go back in brief to the City Condal and will evaluate the state of his knee, but in the meantime the FC Barcelona does not lose the time and follows preparing the possible signing of another central. Gerard Hammered and Clément Lenglet have gone back to remain solos, and with the fragility of Thomas Vermaelen is too dangerous to play it in front of another relapse of the ex of the Olympique of Lyon.

The rumours that carry sounding months will receive official answer in the weeks to come, and a short days of the reopening of the market, the informations have outlined which would be the aims of the culés. 'RAC1' informs that the two favourites would be two veterans with experience in the European football, and would treat of Branislav Ivanovic and Martin Skrtel.

The Serbian is 34 years old and plays in the Zenith of St. Petersburg, after happening a long stage in the rows of Chelsea. In spite of his age, keeps in good form in Russia, and in case to be the elected would contribute a lot of solvency to the retaguardia. Besides, it has another important argument, and is that it is able to surrender in the sides and offers an alternative that could be useful along the course.

The Slovak has also 34 years, and in his case now is a member of the Fenerbahce. After standing out in the Zenith, turned into reference of the Liverpool, although it stepped to a side and did a place in the Turkish league. It is a more specific closing, and stands out in the same virtues that the previously mentioned. It is safe by high and by low.

These two possibilities would underline the bet of the Barça, that would go through a central right-handed, with little need of adaptation and with European passport. The Barcelona would opt by a cession not to engage his planning, since they try to close the incorporation of Matthijs of Ligt for the summer of 2019. The intention is that it give immediate performance and to low price, although it would negotiate a payment for any club.

The filial will be the immediate answer to the injuries of the Barça

Until esclarezcan of definite form the plans of the Barça, the immediate answer will be the filial, that already planted to Chumi like acting in some parties of the first team and now could repeat it with Óscar Mingueza or Jorge Cuenca. Ernesto Valverde follows studying closely to the youngsters, because they could solve some setback because of the numerous injuries that have appeared in this campaign.
