Vertonghen Could be the "covered" to reinforce the defence

The defensive fragility showed by the FC Barcelona during the present season has reopened the debate of the central in the Camp Nou. Puyol Has practically decided to leave and by this reason, the main aim will be definitely, and by third consecutive summer, the incorporation of a player contrasted for the defensive axis. With Thiago Silva and Hummels descartados already in advance, the options that would stir the FC Barcelona would be David Luiz (Chelsea) and Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham).

Although the central Brazilian of Chelsea  always has been the first option, the very high economic requirements of Chelsea complicate the operation. The team londinense will not leave to go out to the player by less than 50 million euros, a figure that in Barcelona considers inalcanzable. In this context, the sportive direction would be working seriously in alternatives more economic.

The second in the list of futuribles is the Belgian head office of the Tottenham, Jan Vertonghen. The player has surprised this week with some statements where leaves the open door to his exit of the Tottenham. "I will not take any decision until after the World-wide, although I am not sure to continue if the team does not contest the Champions the next year". The unrest of Vertonghen could carry him to take the decision to abandon the English group, sabedor that it finds in the diary of some clubs of first level, like the FC Barcelona.

Vertonghen, chosen better defender of the Premier League the past season, arrived to the Tottenham in 2012 pertinent of the of the Ajax. The English team paid 12 million euros and signed by four seasons with option to two more. To his 26 years, Jan Vertonghen was one of the keys in the Ajax of Frank of Boer, the one who advised to the Barça his signing, although this did not arrive to complete .

The problem, however, is that the Tottenham would not have need to give off of his services neither although it was by a good offer. From White Hart Lane limit to say that "we do not want to do any statement on this subject", and the own footballer neither has wanted to comment at all on the increasing rumours that situate him like futurible of the FC Barcelona. 

Vertonghen Can play of head office and of mediocentro, although his usual position in the Tottenham and in the Belgian selection (with which already has contested 59 internacionalidades) is definitely in the defensive axis. Has technician more than sufficient to take out the balloon controlled and is powerful in the aerial game (measures 1'89 metres). The defence would fit to perfection in the diagrams of Gerardo Martino, lately something limited resources in all the positions of the saga. 

With a price of market of 25-30 million euros, Vertonghen would stimulate to Hammered and Mascherano, accommodated during the last parties to the not having a big competition in the eleven headline of the Barça. Still there are not official negotiations, but from England insist in that they already would have had contacts. The next informations will commission of desvelar if his links to the Barça treats only of mere speculations or of something more. For the moment, Vertonghen is the 'covered'.
