The urgency of the FC Barcelona by fichar a mediocentro that him of balance to the team carried to the culés to ask after the pivote of the 'farolillo red' of LaLiga. Dion Lopy, that fichó by the Almería this past summer in return of 6,5 million euros, seems that it was in the diary of the culés during the past market of winter. 'Sportive world' ensures that the Barça followed closely to the Senegalese of 22 years but the high pretences of the almarienses made impossible the operation.
The young footballer is being one of the surprises of what goes of season in Spain, in spite of the bad that is going him to his team. The midfield player has stood out from the first day, showing a big physicist and a good technical chord for the place that occupies in the field. The Barça looked for precisely a profile as his, powerful, with route, hablidades defensive and a good deal of ball. Thus it tried an approximation that did not have neither much less the success wished.
The Almería knows that this next summer goes to be able to take out enough money by Lopy and therefore it has refused all the offers that have arrived him by him in January. The most substantial was the one of the Eintracht of Frankfurt, that offered some 15 million euros for ficharle. The Andalusians, however, did not want to remain without his pivote title to follow litigating by the permanence. If it does not happen at all odd, inside some months will be still raining interesting proposals, even more than the one of the Germans, by what there is not any fear in that his cotización go down.
Christensen, the option of Xavi for the pivote
At the end, therefore, the Barça remained without the option to be able to reinforce his centre of the field and forced of this form to Xavi Hernández to take unexpected decisions. The technician, conscious of the need of the team for finding a player that him of solidity to the midfield, bet by Christensen against the Alavés. The Danish went out of mediocentro defensive and gave a good level, achieving balance to the culés. It can that that was the solution of the trainer until final of season since the option Oriol Romeu seems to be descartada.
