The future of Barça
Futbol Club Barcelona faces several challenges ahead of the next summer season. One of the topics to be resolved is the situation of the team’s pivot, as well as the future of the player João Cancelo. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, there are rumors that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would be interested in wearing the Barça shirt. However, the club is struggling financially to deal with new signings and there have been no significant sales so far.
A possible unexpected sale
To unlock operations, President Joan Laporta could consider a windfall sale. According to the web portal fichajes.net, one of the players who could be sold is Andreas Christensen, who has not played a prominent role in coach Xavi Hernández’s starting team. Although Barça have no intention of getting rid of the player, his high demand in the market, especially in the Premier League, could make the club listen to interesting offers.
Christensen’s possible fate
Manchester United are one of the clubs who could be interested in Christensen as they could lose defender Raphaël Varane this summer. On the other hand, Newcastle United are also looking for reinforcements to improve their squad. According to the English press, Manchester United is the main candidate to sign Christensen, as coach Erik ten Hag is said to be interested in the player.
The balance of Barça’s defense
With the possible departure of Christensen, Barça could focus on other options to strengthen the defense. Together with Jules Kounde, the appearance of Pau Cubarsí has brought balance to Barça’s defensive line. With these players, Joan Laporta has the freedom to sell a defender without affecting the stability of the team.
