Who are the 7 players that Barcelona will use as a currency to hire three market stars

The pandemic of coronavirus changed the world. And also to sport. As is the case with countries in much of the world, whose economies were affected by the arrival of the virus COVID-19, soccer clubs suffered millions in losses due to the stoppage of activities that was generated due to the health crisis.

Except the German Bundesliga, which restarted its championship last weekend, the rest of the big football leagues in Europe are still waiting for the confirmation of what will be the return to competition. Beyond returning to training following strict care protocols to avoid the spread of contagion, the footballers await the resumption of the game to try to end the season.

Pending the resolution of the case, the European clubs will be waiting for what will happen in a transfer market that will be special due to the economic blow that the institutions suffered due to the pandemic. In this sense, FC Barcelona would have decided to use several of the footballers of the first team led by Quique Setién to renew the squad for the 2020-2021 season.

According to the newspaper Sport, of Catalonia, there would be seven chosen players for the management leadership led by Josep Maria Bartomeu to use as a possible currency in future transactions. In order to better surround Lionel Messi, Barça would showcase Semedo, Junior Firpo, Rakitic, Umtiti, Arturo Vidal and two other footballers on loan –Aleñá and Rafinha, on loan to Betis and Celta, respectively- to try to get three market stars in football Old continent.

To the interest already known for adding Lautaro Martinez, the Argentine striker who became a vital piece of Inter Milan, two other Juventus players also joined: the Bosnian Miralem Pjanic and the Italian Mattia De Sciglio would be chosen by the Blaugrana team to reinforce the professional staff. According to the Spanish press, the negotiations to add the former Racing Club de Avellaneda scorer would be very advanced and the transfer of the also player of the Argentine team could be completed once the return of football in both countries is confirmed.

Different is the case of Pjanic and De Sciglio. By the central midfielder who reached the Vecchia Signora in 2016 coming from Rome, the agreement between the Bosnian and the culé institution would be total. As indicated Sports world, The midfielder has the desire to move to Barcelona to play with Messi and has already rejected a succulent offer from Paris Saint Germain. For his part, the Italian defender would also have an agreement with the Catalan leadership and hopes how the negotiations between the two clubs will progress. With almost 200 matches played in Italian football, Setién would welcome a polyfunctional defender, since he can play on both sides of the defensive sector.

Beyond possible additions, the culé team knows that several of the footballers put in the window are coveted by potential buyers. The best known case is that of Arturo vidal: The Chilean is required several seasons ago by Inter and in the last season he joined the desire of the new Neroazzurro coach, Antonio Conte. Like the trans-Andean steering wheel, the Croatian Rakitic He is another footballer wanted by several teams. Both end their contract with Barcelona next summer 2021.

The unknown in that list is Samuel Umtiti. The central defender who became world champion with the France team in Russia 2018 is 26 years old, with good resale power, a key scenario for the Catalan club to get rid of him in the next transfer market. Culé for four seasons, the intention of the leadership would be to recover the 25 million euros that the institution paid for him to Olympique de Lyon.
