Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Arkadiusz Milik’s “Little Brother” interview!
Last Thursday, Barça held its annual high mass on the occasion of its traditional general assembly. And while we expected a classic speech, Joan Laporta made big announcements, promising a very ambitious return for his club on the transfer window with 600 million euros of investment planned. Xavi Hernandez, the Blaugrana coach, insisted to his president on the importance of being present again on the transfer market. Indeed, after the big GA, the two men met, as revealed by the daily acethe opportunity for the former midfielder to share his priorities.
Lewandowski and Koundé in priority
First of all, and this is a track known to all, Robert Lewandowski is the Catalan’s number one target. FC Barcelona may have to pay 40 million euros to convince Bayern Munich to sell it. The second priority objective is called Jules Koundé. The French international from Seville should leave Andalusia no matter what, but at what price? Its leaders want 80 million, but the Blaugrana would like to integrate a player, we are talking about Sergino Dest, to lower the bill. The goal is to register these two reinforcements as quickly as possible so that they can be present in mid-July on the occasion of the American tour.
Secondary folders
After these two crucial cases for Xavi, he also took the time to make other requests, certainly less important, but necessary in his eyes: Raphinha, the Leeds winger who would replace Ousmane Dembélé in the event of departure, Bernard Silva, who would replace Frenkie De Jong, as well as the two Chelsea defenders Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso, two files more easily achievable. Finally, the media specifies that the Franck Kessié (AC Milan) and Andreas Christensen files have already ended several months ago and that they will soon be announced, the two players being free of any contract at the end of June.
