In the summer of Barça the right back has changed in the order of priorities several times, but now he has risen in a way that could be definitive in the need to compete next year
Jules Koundé suffered, and a lot, in the meeting of LaLiga in which the FC Barcelona fell in front of the Ray Vallecano this past Wednesday. Although the performance of the French was far of the expected for a headline of the Barcelona team, the reality is that it is complicated to signal to a player that is playing out of position, in spite of all the experience that has like carrilero right-handed during his career.
The problem is that the ex Seville really is not a specialist of this zone of the defence, and already in the final of the World-wide in front of Argentina noticed . In spite of his speed and physical profile, suffers a lot with some extremes and to the hour to attack is not the most indicated by his limitations. Thus, in the Barça there is an open debate if for the next market has to have a signing or no to reinforce the right side.
The signings have to begin to order
The Catalan team already is scheduling the next season and Xavi Hernández knows that it will not be able to fulfil all the requests that has and thus it prioritised the arrival of a defensive pivote, beside the signing of Gundogan. However, 'Sport' aim that in the sportive area seems them an absolute priority reinforce this part of the defence and now will be one of the main duties.
The information details that although they follow considering that Koundé and Araujo could fulfil this paper beside Sergi Roberto, the managers of the sportive direction have seen that the last performances of the French have created doubts. The reality is that the signing of the Frenchman was to play like head office and when it has done it, especially with Araúijo, has seen a very solid couple.
The team culé needs a bargain in the market
In front of the limited resources culés, the operations like the ones of Foyth or Frimpong do not seem too realistic. Thus in the Barça think that it would be much more feasible to go to by an opportunity of market with some player that also contribute experience as they are the cases of Cancel and Meunier. The first could arrive in a cession, whereas the another -much less attractive- is in the market to the drop for finishing agreement in 2024.
