Barça's low-cost options to strengthen the midfield in January

"If we achieve to have 'fair play,' the idea is to have to a midfield player that somehow compensate the drop of Gavi. It would be a cession until finals of season, as it does a lot of years did with Edgar Davids". Like this it explained Joan Laporta this Monday the posture of the FC Barcelona to begin in brief the market of winter, one in which the culés will add to Vitor Roque, but also wanted to improve his midfield.

And it is that that mediocampista Dutch allowed to the Barça of the 2003-2004 can have a second almost perfect turn in League and finish to only five points of Valencia champion that when it approached January had taken out almost 20 points of difference on the Barcelona group. It is thus that in the middle of an irregular course, with a Girona and Real Madrid that have kept some regularity, Laporta bets by a possible wintry signing 'low cost' and in FCBN review some possible options.

Wilfred Ndidi

It does already a lot of months that the mediocentro is in folder of the Barça. With a much more defensive and tactical profile that Kessié, the Nigerian represents the ideal opportunity for the Barça to take advantage of a bargain when finishing agreement the next 30 June and besides add a physical profile to the team of Xavi. Ndidi Is indisputable, and figure, in the Leicester City that is playing in the second division of England and is leader of the competition after 22 parties. If it keeps his posture of not renewing the Barcelona team could try take it out by very little money, giving him besides a jump to his career.

Renato Sanches

The Portuguese has had to continue his career with the title of promise fallida during the last polish. His Euro in 2016 was sublime, but the injuries and fault of continuity have prevented him reach his best version again. Now, in the Rome, is not being the leading that expected José Mourinho and the Barça could take part to burst into his cession from the PSG and try take advantage of some four or five positive months. It is an operation with risk by his record of injuries, but the French team is assuming already almost all his index card, by what would not mean a big economic problem.

Kalvin Phillips

Surely the footballer more 'easy' to relate with an exit in winter of his club. Pep Guardiola spoke openly on the no continuity of the English in his project and put him in the ramp of exit. Precisely this, in addition to his scarce minutes, does that almost any team was had to do an investment by the pivote and bet by his cession, something that the Barça also could try. Physicist, with good exit of balloon and 'bred' by Marcelo Bielsa and Pep, could be a solution of first level to a problem that persists in the team of Xavi in front of the drop of Gavi.

Nico González

The canterano is not cuajando for the moment in the Port wine, and although the Barça already sold him of definite way and only conserves a clause of future sale or of repurchase, yes that the good relation with the lusos -thanks to Deco- could open the door to a short return of the mediocampista of 21 years to the City Condal, in shape of short cession. Surely the big handicap for Nico was that it left to Portugal to the not being able to convince to Xavi that now it could see him with other eyes when having a lot of doubts with Oriol Romeu in this zone of the field.

Andrey Santos

Be the best player of the Sub-20 Brazilian of Vitor Roque indicates that Santos is a very interesting player. In fact, already it was in the diary of the Barça during months, but Chelsea and his millions finished prevailing. It is yielded inside the same Premier, although without minutes, by what the English team is opened to negotiate a new operation and coincide with the Brazilian forward right now in winter would seem a bet more than interesting. Youngster, strong and with capacity of goal for a Barça of Xavi that without Gavi has lost a lot of.
