Opposing positions! Xavi wants Zubimendi and Barça prefer a physical profile like Onana

It subtracts little less than three months so that it open officially a new market of winter. That is a sufficient reason so that the FC Barcelona, and a lot of clubs, work to time trial in his idea to be able to reinforce the current staff, especially with a new mediocentro, in the case of the Barcelona entity. Conscious of the financial difficulties that confronts, the club looks for a pivote that contribute solidity and work in defensive works, especially.

This is what precisely is offering Andreas Christensen in this second half of season, but remains clear that the Danish has a performance limited when being playing out of position, by what the club understands that it has to follow a similar line regarding defence and physicist, but with a capacity of creation of game improved. There it is where Deco has to Amadou Onana like his favourite option, further of the complicated that it was the operation.

The Barça, in the middle of a 'war' of styles

The player of the Everton is an option that likes a lot, but his price would surpass the 60 million euros, what complicates his signing. On the other hand, Kephrem Thuram, of the Nice, does not fit totally in the profile of mediocentro pure, and situates underneath of Onana regarding potential, but yes that it is a similar option to the one of the Belgian. However, the journalist Fabrizio Romano aims that Xavi Hernández keeps betting strong by Martín Zubimendi, still with his future in the entity in the air.

The Catalan follows without defining if finally it will leave the club when finalising the season or will consider the new request of the president Joan Laporta to keep until 2025. But to the margin of this, the trainer yes that has left clear that has his preferences of market and will not be too flexible if finally it decides to continue, by what keeps signature with the idea that Zubimendi was his new mediocentro.

The Basque footballer has a clause of exit of 60 'kilos', a practically identical price to what could ask the Everton by Onana, but in the Barça do not consider him so much when thinking that it is a profile of player, to physical level, that the club already has in the current staff. However, the information signals that Xavi prioritises other points and is thus that the pivote of the Real Sociedad is his favourite, to weigh also that the mediocampista already has refused to the Barça in a pair of opportunities, something that the barcelonismo has left clear that still does not forget.
