FC Barcelona has three top-level centre-backs in Araújo, Koundé and Christensen. For this reason, taking into account the difficult distribution of roles and the need to raise money to undertake other urgent operations, the Catalans could sell one of them in the summer

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Name by name, the FC Barcelona has one of the best sagas of all the continent. The four head offices of the Barcelona picture are of first level and have experience more than tested in the elite. Especially, Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé and Andreas Christensen could be headlines in almost any team of the world, something that speaks very well of the 'clinical eye' of the culés to the hour of ficharles.

The problem with these three big defenders is that they hamper a lot the distribution of roles of Xavi Hernández. Up to now, the technician has gone saving the 'ballot' betting by Ronald and especially by Jules like right side when all have been healthy, but this every time is more difficult. To the French does not like him play of carrilero and on the arrival this past summer of Iñigo Martínez, that loves him to the míster, complicates it everything a bit more.

The central Basque advanced in the rotation to Christensen before lesionarse and was playing to good level. The Danish, that this course no longer is indisputable and that is playing less, therefore it wants to go back to be more important. By his part, Koundé, that is surrendering to a level quite 'mediocre' this campaign, wants to play the maximum possible in the centre. Araújo, finally, is titularísimo and there is not too much discussion with him.

The Barça will have five head offices with Chadi Riad

Besides, in case it was little with all this, in the Barcelona seem to have decided that Chadi Riad will return in the summer of 2024. The Moroccan is doing a temporadón in the Betis, where has showed to be one of the best defences of LaLiga, and the blaugrana seems that they will do effective his option of 'repurchase' by 7 million euros, once the béticos use his option of purchase. With his presumable arrival, the staff will have five defenders, by what 'sobrará' one.

By all this and because economically it does lacking money to fulfil with the Fair Play and can tackle other operations of market more urgent, as they aim from the newspaper 'SPORT', in the Barcelona would have taken the decision to sell to a 'heavy weight' of the centre of his defence. Taking into account that Chadi is a bet of future in which it trusts a lot and that Iñigo is by age an active little valuable of face to the market, the candidates would be Araújo, Christensen and Koundé.

Koundé Or Christensen would have serious options to go out

Specifically, the two players with more options to go out would be the French and the Danish, since the charrúa is for Xavi, for the club and for the fans almost 'intocable'. Ronald is the defensive leader culé and one of the most important footballers of the changing room, in addition to one of the best head offices of the world when it is in shape, by what the idea would be not doing box with him. The Bayern of Munich has him between 'eyebrow and eyebrow' and could offer until 100 millions by him, but except surprise will refuse any ofrecimiento by the Uruguayan.

Therefore, the sale of the Barça seems that it will go out between Jules and Andreas. In the case of the Nordic, when arriving to cost zero his sale would report a countable profit elder that the one of the Frenchman, that arrived by more than 50 'kilos' in 2022. Nevertheless, also it is necessary to take into account that the value of market of the ex of the Seville is greater that the one of the ex of Chelsea. Although any is going through his best moment, is likely that by Christensen can arrive offers that ronden the 30/35 'kilos', whereas by Koundé the normal is that they surpass the 50 that cost in his day.

Koundé Has more margin of improvement that Christensen

Nevertheless, to decide to who sell, in addition to the economic subject, that is very important taking into account that the culés need margin and money in cash to be able to reinforce the midfield in summer, also is necessary to take into account the margin of growth of each one. The Danish is two greater years and, in principle, does not remain him a lot to arrive to his 'prevail' as footballer. The French, however, still has 25 years and the feeling is that has a lot of margin of improvement still, by what in spite of his irregularity, sell him now could be renounce to one of the next five or six better head offices of the world.

It will be necessary to see what decides to do the Barça, that will have to put in some scales all the pros and contras of traspasar to one or to the another. What seems evident, more after seems it that decided arrival of Riad, is that both can not be still in the staff beside Araújo by a question of roles and minutes. The three does not seem that they can be headlines and play all what want, by what in 2024 will arrive the moment of deprenderse of one of them.
