Forced to register departures to unlock its recruitment, FC Barcelona does not refrain from contacting the coveted players. The Catalan club notably surveyed the entourage of former Lyonnais Sergi Darder, relegated to the second division with Espanyol Barcelona, but not necessarily in a hurry to leave.
Xavi will have to be patient. Admittedly, La Liga has validated the economic plan presented by FC Barcelona. But the Blaugrana coach is probably not ready to welcome rookies into his locker room. Barça must first finalize sales and reduce its payroll. In the meantime, the Spanish champion does not refrain from contacting the coveted players.
Barca want Sergi Darder
We know that Xavi wants to strengthen his midfield. This is why the sports management is interested in Sergi Darder. According to information from Catalunya Radio, Barça have probed the entourage of the Espanyol Barcelona midfielder with a view to a transfer this summer. It must be said that the former player of Olympique Lyonnais represents a good deal on the market.
His release clause is currently set at 10 million euros, and will increase to 15 million euros from August. It is therefore not surprising to learn that other teams (Atlético Madrid, Mallorca and Almeria) have taken the same initiative as Barça on this issue. We are talking about a player who, after his unconvincing spell at Olympique Lyonnais, has found his best level on his return to Espanyol Barcelona.

His performances will easily allow him to bounce back after his team’s relegation to the second division. But according to the daily As, the 29-year-old Spaniard, very attached to his training club whose history he could mark, is in the middle of a dilemma. Not sure that Sergi Darder agrees to abandon his family in this situation, especially if his departure brings him to the neighbor and rival. For the moment, the middle is enjoying his vacation and will not make a decision before his return.
