The start of the transfer window was hot for FC Barcelona. Sending a big message by spending 80 million euros on Newcastle’s English winger Anthony Gordon, the Catalan club then set things on fire by reaching an agreement with Julian Alvarez. However, the Argentine striker quickly saw Atlético de Madrid show the muscles to keep him. Also involved in the Bernardo Silva file since the latter has reached the end of his contract with Manchester City, the Blaugrana club has been active, but the situation should change in the coming weeks.
While the World Cup will occupy the football world, FC Barcelona will not go crazy with its movements. As reported Marcathe Blaugranas are not going to play bidding wars with Real Madrid, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain who would be ready to put 150 million euros for Julian Alvarez. The Catalans are still interested, but do not want to go beyond 100 million euros. This is a fairly similar story in the Bernardo Silva case. According to Sportthe Barcelonans had made good progress in the file, but first intend to send away Ansu Fati and Marc Casado. In addition, Barça does not plan to raise its offer for the Portuguese player who is also followed by other teams.
Deco calms things down
A posture which really differs from that announced at the start of the transfer window with a big offer quickly concluded for Anthony Gordon. But precisely, the desire of FC Barcelona is to be active, pay the price, but not to do uncontrolled madness. In addition, Deco offered itself a certain peace of mind in the transfer window as highlighted Sport. Launching numerous files behind the scenes, the Portuguese sports director is under no pressure and can prolong discussions that have already started.
This is particularly the case of João Cancelo, who was loaned last winter by Al-Hilal and who should stay permanently. In addition to the Portuguese, Chelsea’s João Pedro is seen as plan B in the event of failure in the case leading to Julian Alvarez. Deco also intends to release players and in addition to Ansu Fati and Marc Casado, it is the Frenchman Jules Koundé who could pay the price. Taking a few days off with his assistant Bojan Krkic during the Barça legends tour in Seoul, Deco is playing for time and intends to show that Barça will be active, but not under any conditions.
