The directive of the FC Barcelona has like priority for the summer, once close the pending renewals and resolve the return of Leo Messi, fichar a pivote that cover the drop of Sergio Busquets. Martín Zubimendi is the favourite of the technical body, but by budgetary questions lucen more feasible options like Sofyan Amrabat and Rúben Neves, although both generate doubts in the technical body.

In the last hours has sounded with strength Joshua Kimmich, the one who also could work without problems like reinforcement for the left side, but between the available folders there are two Uruguayans that the directive still has in his radar. This is the case of Fabricio Díaz (20 years) and Manuel Ugarte (22 years), both mediocentros defensive that come adding good performances in the last semester. The case of Ugarte is more complex, since it treats of a more sought-after player.

Díaz already left opened the door to the Barça

Previous to the beginning of the World-wide Sub-20, the player of the Liverpool 'charrúa' had been consulted by 'Sportive World' on the possible Barcelona interest "Know, know, do not know at all. Obviously, one follows the social networks and, for the time being, all see everything. This handles it my representative, handles it my club. Now, I am entirely focused here, want to do a big World-wide (Sub-20), want to win the World-wide with Uruguay. First, this. Afterwards, it will see what sucederá. It would be beautiful, himself (play in the Barça). How no", it said the one of The Stones.

Díaz adds an assistance in ten official apparitions this year with his club and, with a current value of market of 5 million euros, his traspaso could close by a mount near to the 10 'kilos'.

Besides, Chelsea, Tottenham and Aston Villa also have showed interest in the footballer of 22 years.

Knowing that our project goes through to sell and that do not classify us for the Champions League...", it expressed with weighing the trainer luso. This season, Ugarte has been indisputable in the Sporting, contesting a total of 47 parties (6 in Champions).
