The challenge of the pivot and the future of João Cancelo
FC Barcelona faces several challenges ahead of the next summer transfer market. One of the aspects to be resolved is the situation of the pivot, in addition to the future of João Cancelo. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia expresses her desire to join the Blaugrana team.
The possibility of an unexpected sale
To address multiple signings, president Joan Laporta could authorize an unexpected sale, according to signings.net. This measure is considered necessary to unblock operations. In addition, the possibility of selling Andreas Christensen is mentioned, who is not a starter in Xavi Hernández’s team, but could generate significant income for the club.
Christensen’s market value and potential exit
Despite having a market value of €40 million, the lack of playing time under Xavi Hernández has led to consideration of the possibility of selling Christensen. Although FC Barcelona has no intention of getting rid of him, the Premier League shows great interest in the player, which could result in a tempting offer for president Laporta.
Manchester United’s interest in Christensen
Manchester United could lose Raphaël Varane this summer, making them a prime candidate to acquire Christensen’s services. The English press suggests that coach Erik ten Hag is interested in signing him, considering his performance at Barça and his experience in the Premier League.
Barça’s defense and the possible sale of a central defender
In addition, the possible incorporation of Jules Kounde and the emerging presence of Pau Cubarsí provide balance to the team’s defense. With five centre-backs in the squad, Joan Laporta could consider selling one of them to reinforce other areas of the team.
