He is one of the fashionable players in Spain. For several weeks, Pau Cubarsí has made a place for himself that he is not ready to let slip away in Xavi Hernandez’s starting eleven. Tuesday evening, against Naples in the Champions League, he was able to show the extent of his talent and his qualities as a defender to the whole of Europe, notably being named man of the match by UEFA and by our editorial staff. He also won 100% of his duels against Neapolitan offensive players. And this, even though he had some pretty people in front of him…
It was enough to cause a general outbreak. But in Barcelona, we would almost have preferred that the teenager’s performance went unnoticed… And for good reason, his contractual situation is complicated as the daily explained Relevo yesterday. The player thus has a very low release clause, between 10 and 15 million euros. A real gift for other big European clubs given the Catalan’s potential.
PSG is a fan
As indicated Sport, PSG is looking at Cubarsí. A PSG emissary supervised him during this match against Naples. Lamine Yamal was also observed by this same member of the PSG recruitment unit, while Parisian interest in the La Roja nugget had already leaked into the Iberian press last week. Except that the attacker has a release clause of one billion euros which places the Barcelonans in a position of strength against the Parisians, unlike what happens with the defender.
The media specifies that PSG wants to take advantage of the Catalan financial concerns as well as the payroll which will be freed up by the departure of Mbappé to take advantage of the Camp Nou. Frenkie de Jong is also on the list of players targeted by the Ligue 1 leader, without being a priority, according to the Catalan press. But clearly, Barça can tremble…
