Barça overtakes Arsenal in the 'race' for Renato Sanches

Afterwards to move his pieces in the wintry market with the signings of Ferran Torres and Dani Alves, the FC Barcelona continua in the research of new reinforcements in spite of the difficulties with the limit salarial. Xavi Hernández has had in mind incorporate another defender or a leading centre, as Álvaro Morata, the one who has sounded strong in the Camp Nou these last weeks. However, the door is not closed for the other positions, and an old known of the Catalans would be again in the orbit culé.

According to the Portuguese chain 'Elevate', the Barça finds again interested in Renato Sanches, the midfield player of the Lille. The ones of Joan Laporta already had asked after the luso the past summer, and Olivier Letang, president of the French club, ensured that it already existed an agreement with the player to leave him free if it arrived an offer of the Barcelona by him. Nevertheless, the operation did not concretise because of the economy of the Catalan group.

Now, it seems that the Barcelona directive wants to do with the services of the Portuguese. Included, the same information reveals that the barcelonistas already would have advanced to the Arsenal in the negotiations. The group londinense has been wrapped in the conversation by the born in Lisbon, and an offer of 25 million euros to achieve him would have been on the table of the club Frenchman. But, by the moment, all continue 'in the air'.

In spite of all the informations, the landing of the footballer in the City Condal in this window of traspasos sees extremely complex. The irruption of young players like Ferran Jutglà, Gavi and Nico, have done that the medullary blaugrana was covered in all sense, by what a traspaso of such calibrate would subtract him leadership to which will be the future of the entity.

Differences of game

Although Renato have only 24 years, and enjoy of a big quality, the characteristics that looks for Xavi in a midfield player do not accompany his style of game. Pedri, Of Jong and the own Sergio Busquets are a go past, and would separate him to a second plane where will not have of the comforts neither the minutes that has at present in France. It would be a signing without value for the technician egarense, by what is almost unfeasible his arrival.
