The signing of Rúben Neves by the FC Barcelona could have fallen after the 'summit' that sustained Jorge Mendes the Monday with Rafa Yuste, Deco and Mateu Alemany. Further of the insistence of the agent in ensuring the arrival of the mediocentro of the Wolverhampton to Catalonia, the directive has clear that the player does not have the 'ok' of Xavi Hernández, by which his arrival would suppose an unnecessary cost.

In principle, Neves has agreement with the 'Wolves' until 2024, but the luso gives by done his course and, even, had a moving farewell of the Molineux Stadium in his last party like venue in the Premier League. The operation proposed by Mendes rondaría the 30 'kilos', with an agreement by four seasons that the Barça already there would be descartado, as the signing would force the exit of a pair of players culés, between them Franck Kessié and Ferran Torres.

Neves Does not fit in the plans of Xavi for the summer

Although the technician egarense has left clear the need of fichar a substitute for Sergio Busquets, the profile of Rúben Neves does not convince him to occupy the position of pivote. For Xavi, the ideal is to have a footballer with a more defensive profile, able to lead the exit in front of the central. Martín Zubimendi is the elected of the of Terrassa, although the price of the donostiarra (€60m) keeps on being almost 'prohibitivo' for the finances culés.

The another viable alternative for the technical body is Sofyan Amrabat, the one who also insists in dressing the T-shirt culé and already tried to force his exit of the Fiorentina in January. In fact, in front of his insistence to go out, the violet group is had to listen offers by a near value to the 20 million euros, the half of the stipulated in his clause of rescission.

Rúben Neves Also has future in the Premier

To fall , definitively, the possibility to play in Barcelona, Rúben has interesting alternatives to play in several 'big' of the Premier. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have showed interest in his future, since the luso has surrendered to good level from his arrival to the Wolverhampton in 2017. Further of the changes in the bench, the player of 26 years has kept the titularity and, with a value of current market of 40 millions, the 30 'kilos' that would accept the 'Wolves' represent a mount quite affordable for the finances of the English clubs.
