Warning: earthquake warning at the Camp Nou. The urgencies to close a galactic signing in the winter market are about to detonate.
The FC Barcelona should make at least a signing in January. Money is there because it has not yet invested all of the 222 millioneuros that were charged by Neymar.
However, one of the premises is very clear: do not spend to spend. The other is that, with the departure of Javier Mascherano, it is a priority to sign a central office.
Yerry Mina is ready, but he is still very young and in the club they see the Colombian as a central quarter. You have to train it but it is still not in the position to be a holder.
On the other hand is Thomas Vermaelen. The Belgian footballer has reached his best level since he came to the Camp Nou, but he was always a crystal player. There is no guarantee that he will resist.
As a precaution, and assuming that Piqué and Umtiti also have the right to be injured from time to time, Barça needs a relief at the height of Mascherano. A third guarantee center.
Iñigo Martínez returns to win whole
And the favorite of Ernesto Valverde is Iñigo Martínez, who also likes Bartomeufor a simple reason: it is probably the cheapest. It will cost 32 million euros.
The other options are Aymeric Laporte - his rescission clause is 65 million but Athletic could sell it if the recovery of Yeray is confirmed - and the young Matthijs de Ligt (Ajax).
However, we must not forget Valverde's request : a titular player. Messi also wants a reinforcement of guarantees. But they do not agree.
From the surroundings of the Argentinean star it is commented that the preferred one is Philippe Coutinho. But it can not play the Champions and costs between 120 and 150 million euros. Very expensive.
Messi would be delighted with Coutinho because he has the profile that best fits him. Footbal player, but with good shot, fast and very refined technique. He is the perfect player to be able to do both Neymar and Iniesta, saving the distances in both cases.
Coutinho or Griezmann
In contrast, Valverde has another name between his eyebrows. Al Txingurriloves Antoine Griezmann and believes it would be worth waiting for summer to sign him, although Messi is not convinced that could affect the performance of Luis Suarez .
The operation by the French would best price: 100 million of euros. Although there are other clubs willing to take it. Especially, Manchester United and Manchester City.
Valverde will accept to bring any kind of reinforcement, but with the recovery of Dembelé and Rafinha will have two new staff to rotate with Paulinho, Iniesta, Rakitic, Denis, André Gomes, Paco Alcácer, Deulofeu and Aleix Vidal.
The sensation that prevails in the club, nevertheless, is that there are too many second swords and that a player with more gallons is missing. Coutinho, Griezmman or both?
