Calendar of FC Barcelona

With the exit of Ronald Koeman, the FC Barcelona began the paperwork to take out to Xavi Hernández of the Sharjah FC of the Arab Emirates, and give him arrived again to the Camp Nou. The one of Terrassa is one of his symbols of the club, and all a referent of the good game. With him it would initiate a new process of reconstruction, and the paramount aim was an attacker. Ferran Torres and Dani Elm were the candidates, but the arrival of the Valencian was the most accessible in January. And like this it was.

As 'Sportive World', first gathered Xavi with the player, and saw in the one wise personality, a willing attitude and a feeling that indicated that 'would sweat' the T-shirt in each party. It saw a leader. Afterwards it gathered with Joan Laporta, and remained 'loved' with what the Barça offered him, and how a dream went tornando reality. Of return to England, the now ex Manchester City also put of his part to be able to speed up the process. It spoke with Pep Guardiola, his trainer, the one who in multiple occasions already had left clear that neither he, neither the club, went to retain players against of his will. Although it is true that the injury that suffered the forward had weight in his exit, already the work was done.

When Mateu Alemany decided to gather with Ferran Soriano, CEO of the 'citizens', with an offer of 40 million euros on the table, to the English did not remain them more than listening. The culés went seriously, and began the true negotiations, that besides had the "himself" of the player. The City recess his initial price of 70 'kilos' and the Barcelona went up it to 55, and the agreement closed .

It was obvious that a player that has fulfilled for two personalities as they are it Luis Enrique and Guardiola would have the guarantee of Xavi. The youth of the Valencian is not problem, since it has had minutes in the elite of the football. It has played in the Premier League, in LaLiga with Valencia and also in the Spanish selection. The Barça smiles and the feelings that leaves this signing, for the moment, are the best.

What offers Ferran to the Camp Nou

With 21 years, the steering wheel shows like a big offensive piece, with characteristics very become attached to the ideology of game that wants to implant the míster in Catalonia. It is polyvalent, and has a capacity of association that could be only when Pedri and Ansu Fati are back.

The roots of the 'Tiki-taka' could go back, and what better that have to the teacher like director of orchestra in the bench.
