With the omnipresence of the Julian Alvarez file in the Spanish media landscape, we almost forget that FC Barcelona has other priority projects to resolve. It must be said that the Barcelona attack is already well supplied. Especially since the surprise arrival of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United last Friday.
Defense is also a major point on which the club management is working, discreetly. After the failure to recruit Alessandro Bastoni, Barça finds itself with only one upcoming recruit, Joao Cancelo. The versatile Portuguese side, on loan from Al-Hilal, should stay in Catalonia according to Mundo Deportivo.
It is also possible that several players, once untouchable, will leave the ship during the summer transfer window. Notably Jules Koundé. Barcelona does not rule out a transfer for the Frenchman, who is highly rated in England, and intends to put him in competition with young people from the training center.
Barça’s defense weakened?
If the right side leaves, Hansi Flick would then find himself with a reduced defense since Alejandro Balde will not be retained either, again according to Mundo Deportivo. The only full-backs available would be Joao Cancelo, Xavi Espart, Jofre Terrents, Gerard Martin or even the professional centrals Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo.
There are no crowds in the area either. Aside from the last three players mentioned, Barça will only be able to count on Pau Cubarsi and Andreas Christensen, who is regularly injured, if they do not start looking for new players today.
