FC Barcelona is heading towards a new title of champion of Spain. Hansi Flick’s troops once again displayed great superiority on the national scene. But in Europe, they have broken their teeth. Once again. In the offices of the Catalan club, we know that currently the team still has certain shortcomings that prevent it from going all the way in the Champions League. Particularly in the defensive sector, hence the very pronounced interest of the Blaugrana in Alessandro Bastoni (Inter).
Julian Alvarez (Atlético) is for his part the number 1 track for the attack, and this seems rather mutual, while the club also intends to keep Cancelo and enlist a winger, who should not be Marcus Rashford, whom the Barcelona will let return to Manchester United. In terms of departures, Marc Casado is the big favorite to leave and leave a small check in the club’s coffers, while the departure of Robert Lewandowski will free up payroll.
A relatively affordable price
But Barça knows it, to be able to strengthen, it will probably take other departures. Several players are thus in a sort of somewhat vague in-between. They are not necessarily on the market, nor pushed towards the door, but they will be sold if there is a satisfactory offer. This is the case for players like Ferran Torres, Jules Koundé, Alejandro Baldé, Roony Bardghji, Ronald Araujo or even Frenkie de Jong. As indicated Sportthe management of FC Barcelona even set the starting price of three of these players, namely Koundé, Baldé and Araujo.
Indeed, the Catalan club is asking 50 million euros for its defenders. This is the price set for Alejandro Baldé, who is particularly coveted in England, with strong interest from Aston Villa. The media explains that the club’s requirements will be similar for the French defender and the Uruguayan defender. Relatively affordable amounts for regular players in a big European club, especially in the case of Koundé, who also benefits from French international status. Hansi Flick is counting on them for next season, but they will not be selected in the event of an interesting offer, therefore around 50 million euros. Notice to interested parties.
