The FC Barcelona has made four signings until the moment -Arthur Melo, Clément Lenglet, Malcom and Arturo Vidal- that have reinforced all the lines of the staff, in addition to several important sales. Eric Abidal follows working in this
The FC Barcelona has had a very moved summer regarding high and drops of the staff. Eric Abidal and Ramon Plans, at the head of the technical office, have reinforced the defence with Clément Lenglet, the centre of the field with Arthur Melo and Arturo Vidal and the forward with Malcom spending a total of 126 million euros.
In the chapter of exits, also there has been a wide movement. Gerard Deulofeu has gone to the Watford; Paulinho, to the Guangzhou Evergrande; Douglas, to the Sivasspor; Lucas Digne, Yerry Mina and André Gomes, to the Everton; Aleix Vidal, to the Seville; José Arnáiz, to the Leganés; and Marlon Santos to the Sassuolo. All this, added to the course of Andrés Iniesta to the Vissel Kobe.
However, the movements still have not finish in the staff of Ernesto Valverde. Eric Abidal, backed by Ramon Plans and the rest of technical office, consider that it still does fault a signing more to reinforce the centre of the field, since all the players are of a similar profile -except Arturo Vidal- and needs a type of player more physical.
In this sense, the position of the Barcelona club in this regard of the market of signings is clear: still it has to arrive a midfield player if it gives the opportunity of ideal market to hire him. Until the moment, seems that Adrien Rabiot is the only window that follows opened regarding possibilities and to fit inside the profile of player that looks for .
Other operations like the ones of Paul Pogba or Frenkie of Jong see absolutely impossible to close them before it finish the market of signings and, thus, have parked to 2019, already was in the market of signings of the month of January or in the next period estival.
Still they can have low in the Barça
If the chapter of signings could not to have closed still, neither would have done it the one of drops. In the FC Barcelona still there are players that have the open door to abandon the team. Paco Alcácer seems the one who more possibilities has to go out, but by others like Munir The Haddadi or Rafinha Alcántara will listen offers.
