Barcelona news: Ernesto Valverde has pointed out four fantastic players for January transfer

The club wants to strengthen its staff. Part of the reinforcements should arrive this market of winter. The rest, during the next summer.

Three months after starting the season and having had time to analyze coldly what there is and what is needed, Valverde has four clear things. He knows what he has. He knows what he likes about what he has. He knows what he does not like. And he knows what he needs.

The great wished is Philippe Coutinho, but his signing will not be easy. The Liverpool still castled and 120 million of euros asking too much crave. There are better quality-price options.

Valverde has put two names on the table that fit and, interestingly, both are in the Royal Society . They are Mikel Oyarzábal and Adnan Januzaj.

They are 20 and 22 years old respectively. The first is the star of the quarry and the closest thing you can find to Coutinho, although Oyarzabal is more extreme than the Brazilian.

Januzaj, on the other hand, is the promise coming from less than the Manchester United youth team . He did not triumph with the Reds and had to emigrate. In San Sebastian it is recovering its best version.

Oyarzabal and Januzaj

The Belgian footballer, originally from Kosovo, works better on the right. But, like Oyarzabal, he can play both as an attacking midfielder and as a playmaker. Has a lot of talent.

One of the two could reach Barça in the winter market if there is no way to close the signing of Coutinho. Another alternative is Mesut Özil, who can play the Champions League.

There are still two other fantastic ones in the Realthat like the Txingurri. And, in addition, they will be necessary in the near future.

Iñigo Martínez and Odriozola

A center, because the march of Thomas Vermaelen is sung and that of Javier Mascherano is possible (both end the contract in 2019). The one he likes is Iñigo Martínez.

And a right side. Nelson Semedo is not doing badly but sometimes he is a rookie. Aleix Vidal has the days counted and Sergi Roberto is not lateral. Álvaro Odriozola likes it a lot , although Real Madrid follows closely behind.

The best of the players of the Real Sociedad, club where the Barca looks more and more, is that being trained by Eusebio are sucking much more the system of Barca game.
