Barça can make another surprise signing, one of those that no longer surprise anyone. Because, in recent years, there have been operations that were hard to find meaning, such as Jeison Murillo, Paulinho, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Martin Braithwaite… and the latest example has been Luuk de Jong. Now, Joan Laporta would be considering giving another stroke, this time, with a young promise who has great potential, and whose cost would not be too high.
His name is Ian Maatsen, and he is being one of the great stars of the Championship, the English second division, which is always very competitive.. Some world stars like Jude Bellingham have come from there, and he is standing out in the ranks of Coventry City. There he arrived this summer on loan from Chelsea, where he had no place in the first team, and that is why they decided to give him, so that he could get experience.
He has not done badly at all, since he has played practically everything, and has impressed with his speed, his power and his physical strength. The 19-year-old left-back has exploited his full potential, and the possibility of packing his bags in January is being seriously discussed.. Thomas Tuchel has thought of recovering him, either to have him at his command, or to make cash with his sale. Because other Premier League squads have had their eyes on him.
After a successful loan to Charlton the previous year, in this one he has finally managed to establish himself in the elite. The ‘blues’ would study its sale, as long as they can receive an amount close to eight million euros. From the Camp Nou they are studying the possibility of paying them, seeing that Jordi Alba has no relief, and Xavi Hernández does not just trust Alejandro Balde.
Maatsen fue recomendado por Ronald Koeman
At Barça, Maatsen’s name is not unknown. Ronald Koeman has already let Laporta know of the great potential that the Dutch Under-21 international had, and that he had no place at Stamford Bridge.
Will London change for Barcelona in the coming weeks?
