Sergio Busquets announced a few days ago his retirement from the Spanish national team, something that Barça makes believe that the player will also end up announcing that he will not continue at the Camp Nou for next year, so he needs to decide on his new pivot
The FC Barcelona is right now in his mission of recognition to continue adding names to his folder of mediocentros. The Barcelona club has that Busquets will not continue the next season and Frenkie of Jong does not convince to the technical body to be the headline indiscutido of this position, adding besides that his continuity does not seem ensured.
In front of this the culés follow looking for pivote in the market and N'Golo Kanté is one of the footballers that generates more consensus between directive, sportive area and technical body. In fact, 'Sport' signals that already there are negotiations advanced, but the player has haste for ensuring his future and tightens to the club blaugrana to have something signed in the month of January.
The negotiations has directed them directly the director of football, Mateu Alemany, that has gone adding footballers to his list with the premise always that they could arrive in summer to cost zero. This stage also allows to the Barça can tie to some player with a precontrato and already to final of season close everything without having to compete to last moment with another important club of Europe (PSG especially).
In the case of Kanté the conversations have flowed of correct form, but there is not a decision taken and this concerns to the surroundings of the midfield player. A player consolidated in the elite obviously has important offers on of the table and does not want to leave for final of season his final decision. Another point for the French is the year that has had full of injuries, by what wanted to advance an agreement in the case that late much more in going back to his best level.
The favourite of the bargains
With a summer that will have a 'fair play' adjusted and without the possibility to activate another 'crowbar' as in the past summer, in the club blaugrana there are several options on of the table to cost zero like Jorginho (Chelsea) or Tielemans (Leicester). However, Xavi thinks that this profile is the one who more fits. In addition to Martín Zubimendi, Kanté seems the player that better values the technical body.
