Barcelona seeks to rebuild after the tough elimination of the Champions League. Josep María Bartomeu promised strong changes and the first was the arrival of Ronald Koeman as new technical director. The Dutch coach wants reinforcements and would have given the go-ahead to add a ‘9’, a left back and a central.
As reported by the Sport newspaper, the three signed up for those positions are Lautaro Martínez (Inter), Jose Luis Gayá (Valencia) and Eric Garcia (Manchester City), respectively. For these operations to be carried out, Barça is clear that it must sell first, so it does not rule out including players such as Junior Firpo, Semedo, Emerson (on loan from Betis) or Jordi Alba as part of the payment.
By Lautaro A competitor emerged in the last hours and it is Manchester City. In this sense, it was rumored that another option for Koeman for the attack is that of his compatriot Memphis Depay, a forward from Lyon.
Meanwhile, the possibility of Gayà It is not easy since it is a benchmark for Valencia and has a termination clause of 50 million euros. For this reason, Mundo Deportivo reported that it is also interesting Nicholas Tagliafico, who would cost between 25 and 35 million euros. The Argentine is wanted by Leicester, so Angeliño is another name in the folder of the culé team.
Finally, Sky Sports reported an alleged interest from the Blaugrana club in Calvin Stengs, a 21-year-old winger from AZ Alkmaar. It should be noted that he made his debut in the Netherlands National Team with Koeman as DT.
