The Catalan management is close to completing two arrivals, while Xavi has made a strong choice for the coming season.
This winter, FC Barcelona has been quite active, even more than expected. But it is especially in the offensive sector that the Catalan club has recruited, with Dani Alves as the only arrival in defense. A signing in the very short term, moreover, and reinforcements for Xavi’s rearguard are therefore expected from the end of June. And that’s good, according to Sportthere are already two defenders who have gone very well to join Barça in the summer.
They are César Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen, the two Chelsea players who will be released in June. The first will be a significant reinforcement of experience for Xavi, able to play in the axis as on one side, while the Dane will come to bring muscle in the central hinge. The two operations would be very advanced, and would also have the validation of the Barcelona coach.
Koundé, the defender of the next decade?
But that’s not all, since the latter asks for even more. Still according to the Spanish media, the former midfielder insists that the management recruit Jules Koundé. He’s sure the team needs an elite defender, and he’s sure the Sevilla is the great defender of the next decade. A player who is already operational and who could lead the defense for the next few years.
His profile also seems to adapt perfectly to what Xavi wants, with a good game on the ball and enormous versatility. All the same remains to negotiate with Sevilla, who never wanted to let him go for less than 80 million euros, the amount of the release clause. And there will be competition…
