FACING THE 2023-24 SEASON
Barça's three free options to strengthen its core
In the event that the signing of Zubimendi fails, FC Barcelona would have three footballers on the agenda to reinforce its midfield. All contract with their clubs ends on June 30, 2023
In the last days has done a lot of upsetting in that the FC Barcelona will bet, again, by the market of free agents. The economic situation of the club follows without being positive and are many the limitantes regarding the 'fair play' financial. The culés are conscious that from LaLiga will not put eases for the registration of footballers, by what each operation will have to be studied with lupa so that it can complete . Of there the urgency for achieving footballers free.
And it is that, although equally it will suppose a quebradero of head his registration in the staff, will be much more viable that the players by which would have to pay a traspaso (by the rule of the '1x4' that forces to free four times what costs the player for the mass salarial). Thus, from the Barça have several plans to reinforce his staff of face to the season, with 'special' attention to the position of mediocentro, in which the first option is Martín Zubimendi, of the Real Sociedad.
The footballer of 23 years renewed his agreement, recently, until 2027 and has a clause of 60 million euros. Considering the economic situation of the Barça, is a quite costly alternative, reason by which follow attentive to three midfield players that can serve of alternative, as it has come informing in the last days. The names of N'Golo Kanté (31 years), Jorginho (30) and Ilkay Gündogan (32) continue in the diary and are options much more viable, at least in the financial section.
And it is that the three, in addition to being between the best midfield players of the last years, are about to to finalise his respective agreements with his clubs (on 30 June 2023) and, for the moment, there are not negotiations for a renewal. The two players of Chelsea are in 'stand by' waiting for a proposal convincente by part of the club, but up to now has trascended that the one who more opportunities has to do his cases is the international with France.
In the last days has informed , in fact, that the Barça has approached postures with Kanté of face to a hypothetical negotiation in 2023, by what is a much more real alternative that the one of a Jorginho that has manifested, through his agent, that his intention is to remain in the Stamford Bridge, although the proposals of a new agreement have not convinced him for now.
Waiting for Gündogan
In the Manchester City is Ilkay Gündogan, the one who is a player that has been constantly related with the Barcelona square. His agreement wins in six months and still has not decided what will do. In the Etihad Stadium bet by his permanence in the team, but everything depends on he. Has in favour that it is very polyvalent, place has shined so much of mediocentro (especially in the Borussia Dortmund) and also like interior under the orders of Pep Guardiola.
