To these heights of the market estival, still subtracts a lot for resolving in the offices of the FC Barcelona to finish to make the staff for the 2023/24. The technical body insists in adding, at least, a pair of reinforcements more, between them a mediapunta, independently of the resolution of the 'case Dembélé'. Bernardo Silva is the favourite of the technical body, but is clear that, in the financial, is the most complicated option for the club.
Thus, the sportive direction keeps the name of Giovani Celso on the table. The Argentinian has the 'ok' of Xavi Hernández to arrive and, after a good pre-season with the Tottenham, has showed conditions that would turn him into a very valuable reinforcement for a Barça that prioritises the alternative 'low cost' in front of his limited flow of box and margin salarial.
Celso still does not have clear his future
Before the beginning of the pre-season, the Argentinian gave by safe his course of the Tottenham. 'Gio' Was the last year and half yielded in the Villarreal, where added 3 goals and 4 assistances in 51 parties. The rosarino knows very LaLiga after his go through the 'yellow submarine' and the Betis, club that opted by traspasarle to the group londinense in 2019 by 32 million euros.
With a value of current market of 14 'kilos', the 'spurs' prioritise the traspaso of the mediocentro by a near price to the 20M€, but his performance in the pre-season has seeded doubts in the technical Ange Postecoglou, with a pair of so many and a good physical state. In addition to the Barça, Betis, Aston Villa and Napoli have showed interest in ficharle, although for the moment there are not concrete offers by the player of 27 years.
The Barça only would look for the cession of Celso
For the Barça, a cession by a year, without option of compulsory purchase, is the only feasible formula for fichar to 'Gio'. The club still has pending to resolve the arrival of a right side and, if finally neither prospers the negotiation with the City by Joao Cancel, is very likely that the managerial go to by Iván Fresneda. Regarding mediapuntas, also have sounded Yannick Carrasco, Joao Félix and, en última instancia, Neymar, but up to now the club has not done movements by any of these players.
