FC Barcelona would be in a position to recover Chadi Riad for next season. This, in turn, would allow the club to have a greater capacity to sell one of the big names it has in its defensive line, with Andreas Christensen being identified as a possible candidate
The season 23-24 that is living Chadi Riad in the Real Betis has been a grata surprise for all and sundry. The Moroccan went out of the FC Barcelona in the past market of summer in an operation that enciphered in 2.5 M€, but in which the Catalan club saved 50% of a future sale and a clause of repurchase of 7 M€. A priori it presented like an opportunity of gold so that the defender confirmed all what came showing in the Barça Atlètic, but in some much more competitive surroundings like LaLiga.
By chances of the destination, the native of Palma de Mallorca, the one who landed in the picture 'verdiblanco' with the hope to be practically a revulsivo that had some action, has seen benefited by circumstances like the injury of Marc Bartra and the course of Luiz Felipe to the To the-Ittihad. These events have opened him a door that has taken advantage of to the maximum, contesting 15 duels and accumulating, up to now, 1253 minutes. It has strengthened like one of the big 'guardians' of the background line of the square of Manuel Pellegrini and has been one of the gratas surprises in the current championship.
The profits of the 'repechage' of Chadi Riad for the Barça
In front of this, the Barça, would be in position to exert the clause of 'repechage' that stipulated on him and repatriate it next summer. This traspaso could be generating profits by several fronts. On the one hand, the Catalan cast would have a central youngster that already has showed solvency in the First Division, a left-handed with a lot of guarantees and with projection like future title in the defence, all this by a very low price (3.5 million euros).
On the other hand, the arrival of Chadi Riad to the FC Barcelona would involve that the club of the City Condal would have the capacity, and probably would do it, to put on sale to one of his head offices of first level because of the excess of players in this position. The main candidate would be Andreas Christensen, the one who, according to his value of market, would be around the 40 M€. The same would occur with the possible return of Eric García of his loan in the Girona FC, since also it would remain without a place in the team and would have clear options to go out.
