THE FOUR SCENARIOS THAT BARÇA HAD
Kimmich, Zubimendi... The four media that Barça prioritized before signing Romeu
Before completing the signing of Oriol Romeu in the last market, FC Barcelona considered the incorporation of four other midfielders, but for different reasons they could not complete their incorporation
After the dispute of the Classical, Oriol Romeu has remained quite distinguished. It carries a few weeks in a very low level and the doubts have asentuado, to the point that has lost his condition of headline and Xavi Hernández has opted for delaying to Ílkay Gündogan to the position of pivote to look for the consistency that the one of Ulldecona is not giving. His figure is being quite discussed and have begun the rumours on the possibility that the FC Barcelona go out to the market in January in research of a mediocentro.
It is an option that is in "will see", because it depends of the Fair Play financial and the priority will be the arrival of Vitor Roque, but the alternative is on the table. The Barça would want to a player 'low cost' that it can reinforce the position, but are conscious that it will be extremely complicated. In the middle of the chaos, has remembered all the 'efforts' that did from the sportive direction to find to a '5' when Sergio Busquets confirmed that it did not go to renew his agreement and that, therefore, went to do his cases to abandon the City Condal.
The first error of the Barcelona entity was not having a relief in the staff. It was Frenkie of Jong, yes, but was not the same profile that the one of Badia, whereas Gündogan was in way, but the 'dream' of Xavi Hernández is to see him more near of the area, as in the Manchester City, where better surrenders. From the dispatches of the club, with Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff like protagonists in that then, began the works to achieve to a player and produced approaches to four pivote.
The alternatives that had the Barça for the pivote
The first, that was very commented in his moment, went Joshua Kimmich. The Barça tanteó the possibility of 'take him out' of the Bayern of Munich, but the economic factor went in at stake. They did not go him to leave go out by less than 60 million euros and the midfield player neither had win to abandon the Allianz Sand. From Germany commanded several 'darts' to the culés by the increasing interest in the footballer and finish desisting of the idea to do with his services, although it was one of the better options valued by the sportive direction and staff technical.
It was an identical case to the of Martín Zubimendi, the one who has been in the diary of the Catalans since Xavi Hernández landed in the City Condal. However, sucedió the same that with Kimmich. It did not want to go out and his club, the Real Sociedad, was not by the work to sell. Besides, it had renewed his agreement, in October of 2022, until 30 June 2027 with a clause of exit of 60 million euros, a mount that the blaugrana were not in conditions to allow in this moment (and keeps ).
Brozovic And Amrabat, real options?
The others two footballers that were in the diary were Marcelo Brozovic, by which the Barça arrived very late when it already had all done to leave the Inter of Milan and leave to the To the-Nassr in a traspaso that did not surpass the 20 'kilos', whereas in the case of Soyfan Amrabat the 'serial' came from January. The Catalans tried to do with his services after the irruption that had in the World-wide, but in front of the refusal of the Fiorentina to yield it, left it in 'stand by' until the summer. It was not the favourite option of the sportive area and finish descartándole very soon. It finish in the Manchester United, in quality of loan.
