Calendar of FC Barcelona

The closing of the market estival arrived the past 2 September without that producieran two operations that carried sounding from did weeks in the FC Barcelona: the signing of Neymar Jr and the exit of Ivan Rakitic. The negotiations with both footballers and with the clubs related, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, were very advanced but at the end no fructificaron, because of the pretences of ones and others.

Nasser To the-Khelaifi asked impossible figures in return to leave escape to Neymar Jr, whereas the 'Vecchia Signora' of Paratici tried to take out the best possible offer by Bernardeschi, requesting to the Barça to Rakitic and a total of around 23 'kilos'. The FC Barcelona did not have any need to yield in front of the pretences of any of the two clubs, by what Neymar remained in Paris and Rakitic in the Catalan capital.

His respective cases, however, follow open and the most likely is that they give new chapters when it go back to open the market of signings, in the wintry window of the next month of January. The recent informations that appear on the future of both begin to heat his respective 'serials', although it will be complicated that to half of course give movements of similar importance.

Everything will depend on how advance these last months of the year. If Neymar Jr begins to play with the PSG, goes back to win the affection of the fans and links good performances, the safest is that it finish the season in Paris and, from then, already would go back to board conversations with the leaders Frenchmen and the surroundings of the Brazilian to arrive to an agreement. But if the things do not go him well to the footballer in this period, the operation could accelerate to the month of January with Neymar Jr recalando in the Barça in quality of yielded.

The situation with Rakitic is seemed: if the Croat does not have of minutes with regularity and sees relegado to the bench a party after another, the most likely is that in January improve his exit for like this earn an ingente quantity of money. Ernesto Valverde hardly has conceded minutes to Rakitic in the three first days of LaLiga Santander 2019-20, and anybody says that the stage can change in the short term. If it does it and Rakitic feels important, will not do the cases until it arrive the summer of 2020.

Regarding the FC Barcelona, his big priority will be not altering the calm and tranquility of the changing room to half of season, and even less if the team keeps a good series and finds in disposal to struggle by all the titles to these heights of the course. It will prioritise that Valverde have of the best group of players and, if it has to do some retouching, the most likely is that it was not drastic.

The Barça only will do a revolution if necessary

Everything will change if the FC Barcelona accumulates a negative series of bad results that involve changes of relief. Then yes it would go back to put on of the table the name of Neymar Jr, and also the one of Rakitic to receive to Bernardeschi in a barter or, of the contrary, earn an ingente quantity of money that allow fichar to an aim wished in the 'mercatto'. The future of the two players that have mentioned, for now, is in the air. And the next dates will be keys to decide if they change or no of T-shirt in the short term.
