FC Barcelona is looking further after “no” from Ajax | Football

sport">The Spanish champion wants to attract a replacement for Ousmane Dembélé, who again suffered a major hamstring injury this week and has been eliminated for months. In the event of a long-term injury outside the transfer period, Spanish clubs may bring a player from one of the two highest divisions in their own country or, if necessary, a clubless football player.

sport">“If possible, we want to get a player who is versatile,” said trainer Quique Setién a day before the competition match with his old employer Real Betis. “It is not easy, because the market is closed and we will therefore first have to get permission from the Spanish association.” Dembélé will be operated in Finland next week and will then hear how long it takes to recover.

sport">Barcelona also has a few months without the injured striker Luis Suárez. In Spanish media, Willian José (Real Sociedad) and Angel Rodriguez (Getafe) are mentioned as possible substitutes for Dembélé. Barcelona already tried in vain to steal Dusan Tadic away from Ajax, as the Telegraaf / Telesport already revealed. “It is clear that we need a player who comes to help us,” said Setién.
