The Barça poses the signing of Thomas Vermaelen

As it publishes "Sportive World", the sportive direction of the Barça follows working to reinforce the defence. Once closed the contracting of the French Jeremy Mathieu, the central of the Arsenal Thomas Vermaelen could be the following. The polyvalent Belgian defence would have won integers in the list of Andoni Zubizarreta after the impossibility of fichar to Marquinhos. The Brazilian continues being the big aim, but the refusal of the PSG to negotiate force to the Barcelona team to look for alternatives. According to the Catalan newspaper, Luis Enrique wants to bend all the positions and would have asked to the club the signing of another central left-handed. With I Hammered and Bartra covering the right, the idea is that it arrive another central to compete with Mathieu in the left. Besides, it ensures that Blind has fallen definitively of the list -does not convince to all-, Hummels is impossible and Vertonghen likes a lot, but would go out more expensive.

The English press carries weeks especulando with the exit of Vermaelen of the Arsenal. The last informations aim to that the "gunners" would be negotiating already the signing of Matija Nastasic (Manchester City) like spare of the Belgian, to the one who plant in the Manchester United of Louis Go Gaal. To treat to achieve his signing, the group of Old Trafford would be had to disburse a near figure to the 15 million euros. The negotiations could be very advanced.

Captain of the Arsenal and polyvalent left-handed head office that also can play in the left band. The footballer 'gunner' is 28 years old and finalises agreement his current club in 2015, by what would be more near that never to abandon the Arsenal to ship in a new European adventure. His relation with Arsène Wenger has worsened in this last season, in which it has lost the leadership in the central axis of the saga in favour of the couple formed by Koscielny and Mertesacker.

The Barça, therefore, would have fixed in Thomas Vermaelen to reinforce the feeblest position of the Barcelona staff, the one of head office, and do besides with the services of a polyvalent defence, swift and with sufficient quality as to take out without problems the balloon played. The Arsenal it fichó in 2009 pertinent of the Ajax and now would accept a reasonable offer, possibly situated around the 15-20 million euros, to give off of the Belgian. The alternatives, therefore, begin to appear after multiple signings frustrated.
