To the time that sounds with strength the possible signing of Filipe Luis by the FC Barcelona, the group culé there would be descartado already -or would be about to to do it- to Ferland Mendy of the list of possible reinforcements for the left side, as future relief of Jordi Alba. The youngster and talentoso carrilero French is progressing to steps enlarged with the Olympique of Lyon, and the conjoint Frenchman would not want to 'give him'.
Still it saves bad memory of the traspaso by 25 million euros of Samuel Umtiti, the one who to the following season confirmed like one of the best head offices of the world in the FC Barcelona. Ferland Mendy Is another promise that evolves quickly, and the Olympique of Lyon would have priced him in a price that in the Camp Nou would not be had to pay.
The Lyon would not leave to escape to Mendy by less than between 45 and 50 million euros, a quantity to which the FC Barcelona will not access taking into account that has other priorities in the staff, once have renewed to Jordi Alba. Before that spend this money in Ferland Mendy, would prioritise the possible signing of Matthijs of Ligt, waiting for seeing which sucede with Umtiti.
Also the arrival of a young forward and of guarantees that offer competition to Luis Suárez, and that it can relieve him in a future no very far until the FC Barcelona have capacity to do with the services of another forward 'top' as Kylian Mbappé, that is the preferred by the barcelonismo and also by the managerial board.
Filipe Luis snatches the position to Mendy
The case is that Ferland Mendy runs the risk to disappear of the immediate diary of the FC Barcelona, that could reinforce with Filipe Luis. In spite of that would arrive to the Barça with 33 years, would do it with the letter of freedom and would offer a big experience and experience like carrilero acting of Jordi Alba, playing punctual parties to surrender in them to the maximum level.
In favour of Filipe Luis plays also the fact that it is a perfect connoisseur of LaLiga Santander, thing that likes to Ernesto Valverde and also to the technical office of the club. The Brazilian, therefore, would have converted from already in a more feasible option, for the Barça, that Ferland Mendy.
