The FC Barcelona still has not attained to resolve a problem that has persisted during several years: the fault of a right side of high level. This season thought that Joãor Cancel would be the solution, however, because of the injuries of Alejandro Balde and Marcos Alonso, the Portuguese had to assume the role of left side, leaving the right-handed side to Jules Koundé. Although the French defender can exert in this position with solvency, is clear that, as he same has affirmed in more than an occasion, does not feel entirely comfortable playing hit to the band.

Under this premise, the Barcelona club has seen in the imperiosa need to reinforce this side. Although there is an interesting option home like Héctor Fort, needs a side with more experience in the First Division to avoid load with a so big responsibility to a canterano of so alone 17 years of age. Basing in this, and considering the current economic situation of the Barça that does not allow to do big expendios to economic level, is likely that the Barcelonan cast bet by one of the alternatives for the right side that has yielded in other clubs, as Sergiño Dest or Julián Araujo.

Julián Araujo every time has more 'ballots' to go back to the FC Barcelona

In this sense, the one who seems to have more possibilities to remain in the team from the next season is the carrilero right-handed Mexican, the one who at present stands out in the UD The Palms. It has accumulated 1323 minutes of game, in which it has converted two annotations in 23 commitments, establishing as one of the immovable pieces in the diagram of García Pepper. The game of the square 'pío-pío', fits to stand out, has big similarities regarding tactical concepts with the one of the FC Barcelona, and the native of Lompoc has adapted perfectly to them.

These stood out performances have called the attention of the FC Barcelona, that has been following closely to the '28' of the UD The Palms. Bojan Krkić, the coordinator of the Area of Football, has been monitoring it constantly and would have transmitted him the good feelings of the Catalan club regarding his level of game. These attainments do to think that the Mexican has a lot of possibilities to compete in the combined Barcelona with Joãor Cancel.

However, it will be necessary to see if the Portuguese continues in the Catalan picture the next season, since especula that the Barça and the Manchester City could arrive to an agreement to convert his loan in a permanent transfer. Nevertheless, until there is not an official confirmation of the agreement, everything is in the air.

The future of Sergiño Dest seems to be increasingly far of Barcelona

Speaking of Sergiño Dest, the one who is having an excellent season in the PSV Eindhoven, accumulating 2493 minutes of game, a target and six passes to goal in 30 commitments, has played too much in the left side this campaign. His possible no links to the club culé also could be due to economic reasons, since his wage is higher that the one of the Mexican, and the 'Ranchers' have expressed his wish to exert the option of purchase stipulated in the agreement of loan pactado by Sergiño the past market estival. Therefore, all the parts seem had to arrive to a satisfactory agreement in this transfer.
