For the FC Barcelona has turned into a need reinforce his centre of the field for the next season, especially after confirming that Sergio Busquets will abandon the Spotify Camp Nou when it finish the course. It is a profile that no 'exist' in the staff, because Frenkie of Jong no always has convinced when it has played of pivote, and no any one could occupy this position.
They are many the names that have sounded to reinforce the staff, in the last hours. However, the one who more has been linked with a movement is İlkay Gündoğan, the one who has agreement until 30 June of this year with the Manchester City and still has not defined if it will renew. The culés will try his incorporation, because it would be a traspaso free and simpler to fit in the limit salarial, and Xavi Hernández would be starring the operation.
Gündoğan, real option for the FC Barcelona?
In the last days had insisted in that the international with Germany could extend his stay in the Etihad Stadium because it is very to taste with the role and importance that has with Pep Guardiola. It is conscious that it can be still in the same winning line of these last years and the trainer of Santpedor has done reference to that 'will insist' in his continuity, but a new information of the journalist Javier Miguel, through 'To Only Party', leaves to see that from the City Condal would be advancing more in the possible traspaso.
In fact, according to this information, Xavi would have commissioned to give him 'felt' to the operation to convince to the midfield player and finally would have achieved it. His incorporation would be by the next three seasons, assuming a discount salarial regarding what perceived up to now in the Manchester City. It would be, in case to confirm , a strategic signing for the culés by the polivalencia of Gündoğan and quality -inagotable- that has.
The Barça, to turns with the Fair Play
The operation of the still player 'citizen' will depend, like the rest, of the solutions that the Barcelona entity can find regarding his Fair Play financial. From LaLiga already have warned that are in the obligation to present profits of 250 million euros for no 'depend' of the rule of the 1x4 in the market of signings estival, by what the culés first will have to insist in the sales, cessions and discounts salariales for, later, concretise the possible reinforcements.
The 'good' news with Gündoğan (and is the same case that Leo Messi) is that it is to the doors to finish his agreement with his current club and would arrive free, by what reduces significantly the mount that they would have to free the culés in his mass salarial. However, as we mentioned before, everything will depend on that they can do the 'works' before going out to the market.
