Xavi ticks the name of a great hope of AS Monaco
Barça Mercato: After the arrivals of Franck Kessié and Andreas Christensen, the FC Barcelona is not satisfied and wants to enlist a Monegasque nugget.
Barça Mercato: Xavi wants a solid defense
This season, FC Barcelona will be very ambitious and the Catalans are tracking increased potential to match their ambitions. A difficult task which complicates the transfer window of the Blaugranas. The main track, Robert Lewandowski, is still blocked by Bayern Munich who are intractable at the negotiating table. FC Barcelona also wants to secure the services of Jules Koundé. The Blaugranas come up against Sevilla FC who claim 70 million euros. A sum deemed too large by Barça who would have found a plan B.
According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, Xavi appreciates the profile of the AS Monaco defender, Benoit Badiashile. The 21-year-old left-handed defender could land in Catalonia to replace Clément Lenglet leaving for Tottenham. Benoît Badiashile benefits from an exit voucher granted by his training club. Barcelona will necessarily have to pay 40 to 50 million euros to secure the services of the Monegasque nugget. Internally, we praise the calm and the quality of ball recovery at the foot of Benoît Badiashile which are compatible with the famous ” Barca DNA »
Barça Mercato: Discussions continue for Frenkie de Jong
The Catalans formalized two new signings yesterday. Frank Kessie and Andreas Christensen are also FC Barcelona players. Two reinforcements of choice for Xavi who should be able to count on an expanded group this season.
At the same time, discussions are continuing between the entourage of Frankie de Jong and Manchester United where the Mancunians seek to convince the Dutch international. According to the Spanish press, the Dutch midfielder has two options, lower his salary and stay at the Barca, or accept with Manchester United. Barca management want Frenkie de Jong to make a decision quickly to act on it.
