BARÇA FORGOTTEN THEM JUST A YEAR LATER
Atlético signs two former Barça targets for their defense
Atlético de Madrid has closed two incorporations that were in the orbit of Barça last summer. However, both movements could have changed the course of the great culé present
The FC Barcelona was after the steps of several footballers to reinforce his defence the past summer. The 'crowbars' of Joan Laporta gave oxygen to the arks of the institution and allowed movements that marked the course of LaLiga and the Supercopa of Spain. Pieces like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé were of the most stood out for Xavi Hernández, although some of them could have not been protagonists.
And it is that in the dispatches wanted to do with the services of César Azpilicueta and Javi Galán to reinforce the saga in front of the shortage of sides. Both had left very good feelings in the last campaign and his affordable prices opened the door so that the blaugrana went in of full in his incorporations.
The Barça had them to shot
However, his signings could have changed the course of the good campaign culé. Galán Liked a lot to the technical body and had a value that oscillated the 18 million euros, but his contracting there was opacado the big evolution of Alejandro Balde, the one who from the second day of League turned into indisputable headline for the technician. Everything remained in at all and continued his way inside the Celtic of Vigo.
Added to this, 'Azpi' offered guarantees by the right band but the times and the problems to inscribe him inside the payroll of the first team agrounded the operation. The navarro finished renewing by a campaign more with Chelsea because of a unilateral clause in his agreement and would be Koundé the one who would take the reins of the right-handed side as 'covered'.
The Athletic did with both defenders
A year after the facts, has been the Athletic of Madrid the one who has done with the services of the two defenders by a mount a lot of minor of what demanded to the Barcelona. Galán Will land in the Cívitas Metropolitan by five million euros more Manu Sánchez, whereas Azpilicueta will arrive free and earning some emolumentos inferior to which perceived in England.
