Xavi ‘releases’ Wagué – AS.com

Moussa Wagué (23) has no future at FC Barcelona. The Senegalese winger, who still has a contract until the summer of 2023, has been told not to join the club’s discipline on July 4: Xavi Hernández has given him permission for one more week to find a team that fits within his claims. The problem is that Wagué, after having been injured for more than a year due to a serious injury to his right knee when he was on loan at PAOK, has barely played games and his physical condition is an unknown quantity.

The truth is that Xavi does not have the defender and has already given orders to the club to find an urgent exit for him. Wagué joins in this way the players that the Blaugrana coach has granted permission to not join yet because he does not have them and hopes that they solve their cases as soon as possible. We are talking about Clement Lenglet, who is very close to closing a loan to Tottenham, Óscar Mingueza, Riqui Puig and Samuel Umtiti. The Dane Martin Braithwaite is also among the discards, but in his case he will not join until July 11.

Wagué’s situation worries and occupies Barcelona. Signed in the summer of 2018, he played one year in the subsidiary and then spent a season in the first team, with Ernesto Valverde as coach. However, the coach from Extremadura decided to release him in the winter market, being loaned first to Nice and later to PAOK in Thessaloniki, where he ended up seriously injured.

After undergoing surgery and almost a year and a half later, Wagué is willing to continue fighting to feel like a footballer again. He already knows that at Barcelona it will be impossible, but his intention is to find a place in a team from a lower league to finish the year he has left and then look for life as a free agent.
