Sunday evening, FC Barcelona could experience a superb evening. In the event of a victory or a draw during the Clasico, Hansi Flick’s troops would be crowned champions of Spain. Suffice to say that celebrating a title against the sworn enemy would be particularly enjoyable for the people of Barcelona. At the same time, Deco, Bojan Krkic and the club management are already working on the summer transfer window, for which they have big ambitions.
It is particularly in attack that the club wants to invest, with the very probable departure of Robert Lewandowski at the end of his contract. The Blaugranas want to enlist a big name for the number 9 position and Julian Alvarez (Atlético) is the big favorite. A big investment is also expected in central defense, with Alessandro Bastoni as a priority objective. Then, several operations such as those leading to Cancelo, the arrival of a new winger if Rashford’s purchase option is not exercised, and that of the replacement goalkeeper, should also be concluded during the summer.
Two complicated issues
But now the reigning Spanish champion club has just received some bad news. First, the Bastoni track has cooled considerably according to Mundo Deportivo. The player gave the green light to FC Barcelona, but would start to get annoyed to see Barça inactive on this issue. The Italian international is actually waiting for the Catalans to officially approach the management of Inter, and he is starting to hesitate. He only wants to sign for Barca if he feels he is important and has the coach’s full confidence, and he would clearly have doubts about that.
If Barça wants to be optimistic enough for Cancelo, as indicated Sportthe media publishes another article which casts a cold spell on the Julian Alvarez track. The newspaper thus confirms Deco’s very serious interest in João Pedro, in particular because of its price which would be more affordable. The Catalan publication estimates his price between 80 and 100 million euros, while that of the Argentinian would be 150 million euros. So complicated…
