As we approach the business єɴԀ of the transfer window, a ɾєρօɾτ fromGerard Romerohas claimed that a meeting betweenBarcelonamanager Xavi Hernandez, assistant manager Oscar Hernandez, and sporting directors Mateu Alemany and Deco took place today.
TheBarcelonaquartet will likely have discussed in detail the club’s transfer movements at a time when certain positions are yet to be filled.
What’s on Barcelona’s agєɴԀa?
The agєɴԀa of the meeting at theCiutat Esportiva Joan Gamperis likely to have been the pєɴԀing operations thatBarcelonaare keen on closing, both incoming and outgoing, before the transfer window closes.
Alemany reminded last night that Dembele is already in Paris ahead of his move to PSG.
“We are in the process of resolving the transfer. Dembélé is no longer in the first team dynamic, otherwise, he would have been at the Gamper,”he said.
“Dembélé is in Paris. When the agreement is signed, we will communicate the figures of the operation and with that, we close another folder.”
Franck Kessie is another who is on the verge of departing while theBlaugranaare still exploring avenues for players like Sergino Dest andClement Lenglet.
At the same time, however, player registration is of utmost importance and the meeting of the quartet will possibly have that discussion as well.
“The necessary exits have been made, on the other hand, we are in the process of resolving the issue of registrations.
“We are pєɴԀing two payments that have not been made. I am always optimistic, now we only think about registering everyone,”Alemany was quoted byMundo Deportivo.
Who’s on the radar?
It goes without saying thatBarcelonaare one of the busiest clubs in the ongoing transfer market.
So far, they have made several signings in Ilkay Gundogan, Oriol Romeu, and Inigo Martinez, while Vitor Roque’s transfer has also been sealed.
But the management wants more numbers to be added to the roster. At the moment, a midfielder and a right-back are said to be Barcelona’s priority.
For the right-back slot, Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo had been topping the list but a move now appears unlikely. The likes ofIvan FresnedaandJuan Foythare seen as alternatives.
As far as signing a midfielder is concerned, Bernardo Silva had been the absolute priority, but the doors on that move appear to be shut now, withGiovani Lo Celsothe chosen backup.
