Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona, in the past market estival, undid of several young players that now are standing out in several teams of LaLiga, already was through traspasos with some conditions or by means of loans. In this sense, there is at least four players 'Made in The Masia' that are showing his cost in other Spanish teams: Mika Marble, Chadi Riad, Eric García and Julián Araujo.

Curiously, all these players form part of the defensive line, with the three first being central defenders and the last a right side. At present, the Barça is experiencing basic problems of cupboard in this zone because of the injuries of Marcos Alonso and Iñigo Martínez. Therefore, it is not an extrañeza that the club could be evaluating all the possibilities to bring of turn to some of these players, considering his potential to future. Nevertheless, because of different reasons, these transactions present levels of distinct complexity.

Eric and Julián, those that more options have to return to the Barça

In this sense, between the names mentioned previously, Julián Araújo and Eric García are those who have greater possibilities to return to the FC Barcelona the next season, since when the club yielded them to the UD The Palms and to the Girona, respectively, did it through loans without option to purchase. Under this premise, so much the Mexican like the Catalan would have to return of his respective cessions in the summer of 2024.

Regarding the possible return of Julián Araujo, his name is winning increasingly weight in the City Condal. Although the Mexican still has not had the opportunity to debut officially with the Barcelona T-shirt, in his first experience in European floor with the square 'pío-pío' has accumulated 16 parties in which it has converted two goals, added 931 minutes and has adueñado of the right side. It has showed to be an active valuable for the Barça in the next season, since the team needs a natural right side that can compete and be an alternative for Joãor Cancel.

Regarding the return of Eric García, the one who at present has turned into leader of the defence of the Girona, has contested 12 duels and 919 minutes. It has showed to have the credenciales necessary to reinforce the Barcelona defence. In addition to being a solid defender, the one of Martorell also can exert like pivote. It has strengthened his mentality and has showed to have good tactical concepts, showing agile, very situated and with a remarkable capacity to initiate the construction of the game from the defence. These qualities are very valued in the Catalan group.

Chadi Riad Depends of the accionar of the Betis

Another of the alternatives that could be in the list of possible returns to the FC Barcelona is Chadi Riad. The Moroccan defender was yielded to the Real Betis to the end of the season, but his loan comes with a peculiarity: an option of purchase by part of the club verdiblanco, which stipulated in three million euros by 50% remaining of the rights of the player.

This option of purchase would go back compulsory if they fulfil a series of conditions that, until the moment, seem feasible. Chadi Riad Already has faced 13 meetings and added 1074 minutes, and factors like the exit of Luiz Felipe to Saudi Arabia and the injury of Marc Bartra could contribute to that fulfil these conditions, since it will see a lot of more action of the presupuestada. Nevertheless, in case that this occur, the Barça would have the option to exert a clause of repurchase that is established in seven million euros.

Mika Marble, the most complex transaction

Now well, the case that apparently goes back much more complex is the one of Mika Marble. The central defender does not belong to 100% FC Barcelona neither is in loan. However, his current situation has some peculiarity, that traces back to his transfer to the Andorra in 2022.

In this moment, the Catalan cast reserved 50% of the economic rights of the player and an option of repurchase in the future. In the past market of signings, the UD The Palms decided to purchase his traspaso, buying 50% of the rights that were in hands of the Andorra. Therefore, the Barcelona still possesses the another 50%. In this sense, if the Barcelona club wishes to go back to incorporate it, would have to negotiate with the 'pío-pío' to purchase the remaining 50%.
