The FC Barcelona will lose this summer the signing of Matthijs of Ligt, that will put course to a Juventus of Turín that will pay him more money -almost the double that the Barça- and besides will offer him the opportunity to be indisputable headline, with aspirations to the conquest of all the titles. It does not be necessary to criticise the decision of Of Ligt, the one who recalará in one of the best clubs of the European panorama.
And neither, from the barcelonismo, it is necessary to carry the hands in command. The signing prioritario of the Barça for this summer was the one of Frenkie of Jong, and already closed it with time during the past market of winter. The progressive renewal of the centre of the field was more necessary that the one of the defensive saga, taking into account the presence of Gerard Hammered, Clément Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti in the staff.
The first is 32 years old, but the past season was one of the best that remember him to level of performance, by what expects that it can follow to this level during a minimum of two or three seasons more. The second was the big discovery of the Barça the past campaign, surrendering to a good level and maturing futbolísticamente to steps enlarged. Of face to this new course, expects that it give another step forward.
And regarding Samuel Umtiti, there are hopes that this summer, with the possibility to contest the pre-season from the start with the FC Barcelona and without physical ailments from does months, can recover progressively the level that carried him to be considered recently time one of the best head offices of the planet. To his 25 years, has a lot of route in the Barça and will compete with Lenglet (24 years) by the titularity.
All this without leaving out of the equation to Jean-Clair Todibo, that to his 19 years has options to remain in the staff and act like fourth option for the defensive saga, evolving little by little waiting for confirming the expectations that there is deposited on him. Has a brilliant future and some ideal conditions to triumph in the Barça, but will have to confirm it in the next seasons.
The Barça no descarta fichar to an alternative for the saga
With these four defenders foresees that the Barça form his defensive saga the next campaign 2019-20. And, if it needed some another reinforcement to give exit to Todibo in quality of yielded, would attend to the market of signings in search of some alternative. For the moment, Lindelöf (Manchester United) and Romagnoli (AC Milan) are two of the options that have sounded, but will not be the only.
