The FC Barcelona has fulfilled this summer with the chapter of reinforcements for the staff, and waiting for concretising some incorporation more, has centred in the operation gone out. An important paper in this subject play it the contingents for non-EU players, because in spite of the course of Paulinho follows having some problem. With Yerry Mina and Marlon Santos looking for an exit of the club, the normative could have consequences in the Supercopa of Spain.
In the national competitions, the maximum number of players without a European passport is limited to three, and without having the previously mentioned, the culés have four. The key piece is Philippe Coutinho, that carries some months transacting a Portuguese documentation that it could obtain thanks to his wife Aine. The forecasts aim to that for the start of LaLiga, the carioca already will have freed a square, although for the duel against the Seville would go something juster.
If the institutional answers do not arrive to time, Arthur, Malcom or Arturo Vidal could remain descartados, although the three are apt and were in the plans of Ernesto Valverde for the tournament. Attending to his work in the pre-season, the Chilean would have more numbers to be the displaced, because although it is smart to go in in action, carries fewer days working beside his new mates.
The strategy, in this sense, would go through to inscribe to the carioca like non-EU and expect novelties, since to last hour could do a change. The one of Rio de Janeiro would fulfil with the requirements and his place would occupy it without more obstacles one of the recently arrived. It will be necessary to be slopes of what occur in the next days.
Coutinho, headline or rest in the Supercopa?
Another alternative that seems less likely is that it was the own Coutinho the one who rest, after a year in which it has been key for the Liverpool, the Barça and the Brazilian selection. Although it is true that has more automatisms with the rest, also is it that it carries more wear in his legs, and that it will be a concerning the long of the next course.
The attacker arrived in January and did not take in winning the confidence of Ernesto Valverde, that this campaign already will be able to use him in all the competitions. His absence in the Champions for having participated with the 'reds' was a serious problem, what turns him into one of the big reinforcements of the Catalans for his European aims.
