The Barça has to decide this summer if index card one or two head offices

The season 2017-18 began in the FC Barcelona with a discussion that repeats from does already quite a lot of years, and is if the central axis of the defence is prepared to surrender to the maximum during all the course. After confirming that it would not move his pieces, has been necessary sortear all class of obstacles, and not even with a change in winter have avoided the sobresaltos.

Since it landed in the City Condal, Ernesto Valverde asked reinforcements in the saga, and although it seemed that they would arrive, opted for throwing with what there was. Months afterwards, and with a lot of more perspective on the subject, the planning finds in the same point, although this time yes is clearer that there will be incorporations to improve the retaguardia culé.

The question is that it poses an alone arrival for the defensive line, and this explaining that the technician wants to four effective to his disposal. With Gerard Hammered like main option, there are more doubts with the rest, because Samuel Umtiti has not renewed still, Thomas Vermaelen lesiona too much and Yerry Mina has not adapted as it would have to.

It remain or no the French, perhaps would be necessary to do an effort by two signings, to ensure a defence that would have level and youth to last a lot of years. If it bets by the favourite aims of the Barcelona, with Clément Lenglet and Matthijs of Ligt would attain a tandem of a lot of quality and with a brilliant future, guaranteeing the relief on a long-term basis but also adding options of present.

In the leaf of route of the Barça could have an only active for the saga, because all aims to that Umtiti will remain and the agreement of Vermaelen apurará a year more. The Colombian could go out yielded to a team of LaLiga, and like the Frenchman is a reference and the Frenchman convinces when it is healthy, will allocate money to other operations.

The Masia, an alternative option

As it is usual in the Barça, the Masia appears like background option, but Valverde has left it almost descartada warning that I do not want players going up and going down constantly along the course. The Txingurri prefers that his promises go settling calmly, because if they do not lose the reference of the aims by which have to struggle. In few words, that does not want to feel dizzy to his youngsters.

In the last days of the course, this yes, the extremeño has summoned to one of the projects with more future of the filial, Jorge Cuenca that with hardly 18 and some months like Barcelona will travel with the first team to South Africa. Although anybody wants pressures with the Madrilenian, his presence aims to a statement of intentions of the trainer, that could study to the canteranos in turns it of the next pre-season. From here it could go out another central.
