This is information that seems straight out of a completely improbable scenario: FC Barcelona would have set its sights on Domenech. Yes, Domenech, the name necessarily evokes the former coach of the French team, famous for the Fiasco of the Blues in South Africa in 2010. How to imagine that the Catalan club, in full ascent, could bet on a French coach whose last experience in Nantes had turned short? Blaugranas supporters must certainly wonder if Joan Laporta and his disciples have not lost the reason.
But that the socios of Barça breathe: it is obviously not Raymond Domenech. Barça did not fall so low. The Catalan club actually targets Marc Domenech, a young and promising striker of Real Mallorca. At only 18, the Spanish player attracts the eyes of several major European clubs thanks to his early talent and his technical qualities which strongly seduce Barcelona leaders.
Domenech in the viewfinder of Barça?
Negotiations between FC Barcelona and Mallorca have resumed in recent weeks after being suspended for lack of agreement last summer. At the time, the Balearic club asked for 1.5 million euros, while the Blaugranas only offered 500,000 euros. The file has accelerated recently following the change of agent of the young player, now represented by Pini Zahavi, famous super-agent close to Barça and who notably manages the careers of Robert Lewandowski and Hansi Flick.
Rest assured, it's the other Domenech!
To ensure the services of Marc Domenech, Barcelona could be forced to fully settle its release clause set at 4 million euros by Mallorca. A significant but reasonable investment for a young talent likely to become a rising liga star in the coming years.
If the operation is successful, Domenech could therefore soon evolve under the same jersey as Robert Lewandowski. An exciting perspective for the player, and reassuring for Blaugranas supporters who can now definitely forget the bad memory of the French Homonym coach.
