Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
After an XXL recruitment in all areas of the game (Kessié, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Koundé or Christensen …), Barça does not intend to stop there and hopes to continue to strengthen with heavy recruits. But before welcoming other recruits, the Catalan club must also slim down.
And in this sense, Xavi would be ready for radical decisions with two main victims: Memphis Depay and Sergiño Dest. Indeed, according to information from Sport, the former OL striker would be purely and simply pushed out, the Spanish coach having indicated the exit door to him this summer under penalty of having very little playing time. Except that Depay would only agree to leave on being released as he did a year ago, which is not going to make things any easier. The American side is therefore the other victim of Xavi’s decisions, with a preseason with almost no playing time where the message was rather clear. Except that Dest wouldn’t want to leave…
Angelino offered to Barça!
Departures that could provide some funds for another priority: recruiting a left side able to compete with Jordi Alba. For weeks, Marcos Alonso has been mentioned as a priority. But negotiating with Chelsea after winning the battle for Jules Koundé promises to be difficult. Plans B must therefore be dug and Barça may have just obtained a golden opportunity. In effect, as Sport explains, the left side of Leipzig, Angelino, would have been proposed to the Catalan club. Indeed, the latter has just seen David Raum arrive from Hoffenheim who threatens him directly. To the point that a departure is in the pipeline. Will Xavi ask his club to jump in for a left-back, Spanish moreover, experienced in the requirements of the high level?
to summarize
Barça’s 24hfootnews market is still far from over, both in terms of departures and arrivals… Indeed, Angelino could be available to become Jordi Alba’s competitor on the left lane of the Catalan club.
