The Serbian 'jewel' that Barça will lose at the hands of Bayern or Napoli

Been born in Germany, but of Serbian nationality, Matija Popovic is one of the jewels of the generation of 2006 and a fundamental player in the juvenile Sub-19 of the Partizan of Belgrade. However, it has decided to carry his goals to a much more demanding level after not renewing his agreement with the Serbian team and remain like free agent of face to this wintry market.

In front of this profile of 18 years of age and 1,93 metres of height, the FC Barcelona had put the eyes on the forward to continue with his politics to look for 'jewels', so much in the European market like the suramericano. Like this it has remained contrasted with the signings this summer of players like Vitor Roque, Noah Darvich or Mika Faye, adding a lot of others in 2022 and 2021, but in this opportunity the Bayern of Munich and the Napoli are those that lead the 'career' by the player.

Like this it has informed it this Wednesday the journalist of 'Sky Germany', Florian Plettenberg, standing out that the Italian team is being the favourite to complete the operation to the day of today, and even adding that "the signing can complete prompt". This stage arrives a week afterwards that the player could not arrive to an agreement with the AC Milan, even after having travelled to Italy to sign his new agreement with the group 'rossonero'.

The Barça will see to Popovich mudarse to Italy or Germany

However, Italy is not the only likely destination for the youngster since Plettenberg aims that in the last hours the Bayern has gone in in the bidding offering an agreement of long term and besides "very yielding". The new sportive director Bavarian, Christoph Freund, is decided in fichar to Popovic, the one who also prefers to arrive to Germany, although from his surroundings try to keep him convinced to take the option of the Napoli.

Like this, it seems that the Barça will remain without a player that could arrive free to the filial culé for afterwards do the next pre-season with the first team, and that besides can manage like mediocampista offensive, extreme, leading centre and mediapunta. But with two 'big' leading the possible operation, and the culés with other priorities, will be a bet that will not complete except a twist of unexpected script by part of the Catalan group.
