Rúben Neves causes a 'conflict' at Barça

One of the main obligations of the FC Barcelona of face to the season of 2023-2024 is to ensure the position of the pivote in front of the possible exit of Sergio Busquets, the one who finishes agreement on 30 June and still has not renewed. The club handles several options, but in the last hours has trascended that the possibility that it concretise the traspaso of Rúben Neves, from the Wolverhampton, is more than real.

'SPORT' desveló That the sportive area of the club has "advanced" the operation that could do that the international with Portugal recale in the Spotify Camp Nou in the next course and that it could include the exchange of players like Franck Kessié or Nico González. The 'win' of Neves to play in the Barça can be keys so that it produce the traspaso.

However, in the same information desvelaban that the operation depended on Xavi Hernández convinced or no to Busquets to extend his stay in the club, but in 'MARK' have added that, although from the cúpula Barcelona would have given green light, will not be a simple operation because there is not consensus with the staff technical, comandado by the trainer egarense.

It is not a secret that Xavi always has showed reluctant to the possibility that it was Neves the attendant of suplir to Busquets, in case that it leave , because it is not a player that has stood out for playing as only pivote, that is what is looking for the Barça. They see very difficult that adapt to the 4-3-3 and would be that the main reason by which, to day of today, has created a conflico between both parts.

Joan Laporta and his team are those that defend the possible incorporation of Neves, because it keeps a good relation with his agent (Jorge Mendes) and understand that they can achieve an economic agreement that it was positive for the interests of the club and that, besides, could negotiate an exchange of footballers for abaratar costs. They know that the Portuguese representative can play 'in favour' of the culés.

The others alternative for the Barça

At all times, Xavi has been adherent that the Barça bet by the traspaso of Martín Zubimendi, of the Real Sociedad, although his clause of rescission is of 60 million euros and is not by the work to abandon the Reale Sand, when hardly it goes signing his renewal. It is an alternative more than complicated, but the favourite of the egarense.

The another alternative is that finally they achieve to convince to Sergio Busquets to remain , something that Xavi is trying, although it is conscious that the Barcelona captain has thought to leave to the MLS when it finish the season. If it remains , in any case, would have to reduce his wage (that at present it is upper to the 20 millions by season).

Alternative 'free'

Other players that have sounded like alternatives to reinforce the mediocentro are N'Golo Kanté and Jorginho, players of Chelsea that they still have not renewed his agreement and that they can leave this summer like free agents. However, they are negotiations complicated and the Barça still has not sent them some proposal for tantear the terrain of face to a possible movement.

Finally, the solution of the Barça home is Frenkie of Jong, the one who could become the new defensive pivote of the culés. The Dutch has asked to cries add more responsibilities in the team and is smart to give the big jump, but is expecting that from the club give him the opportunity.
