Despite its precarious economic situation and that the manager should not sign, Barcelona intends to strengthen itself this January. After the meetings between the technical secretariat with Ronald Koeman, the priorities for signing have been set. There are three positions susceptible to reinforcement: central defender, center forward and midfielder, the first two coming from afar. Last summer the Catalans fought until the last minute. It seemed that striker Memphis Depay (Olympique de Lyon) and defender Eric García (Manchester City) were booked, but …
The absolute priority is to bring in a center-back despite the obvious lack of goal that the team shows. And he has a name and surname: Eric García, who for two million euros did not wear the Barça shirt. Contract ends in June, so if Guardiola’s men want to get some money, it is now or never.
There is an important advantage for the culé team if it achieves its objective and that is that the 19-year-old from Barcelona was not registered for the Champions League, so he could play in this competition.
With the footballer everything has already been discussed. It will come yes or yes. Now or in five and a half months.
It remains to be seen the predisposition of the City and if the Manager can undertake such an operation. The president of the same, Carles Tusquets, will meet with the candidates for the presidency to seek a consensus and carry out this signing. And to do so, a footballer would have to leave the club. Aleñá will go to Getafe and Junior Firpo wants West Ham.
