The hiring of another forward has gone into the background. The priority of Barça is to achieve the registration of Ferran Torres as soon as possible and for this we have to work before the exits. Sports management is focused on the most feasible cases such as that of Philippe Coutinho, today the only transferable with consistent offers such as Aston Villa, which would agree to a year and a half loan. His departure would release salary mass and facilitate the discharge of the former City.

Massimiliano Allegri, the Juventus coach, has refused to let him go as he considers him essential for his project, as he explained to the player in a recent meeting and as he later publicly stated. The Madrid striker, however, is not willing to give up the call from Barça and will rush all the options, even if it requires a lot of patience.

He said the same about Cristiano Ronaldo and in five days he was traveling to Manchester to join United.

There had been talk of Mauro Icardi, with a free pass from PSG to find a team due to the need to lower the salary bill, but Juventine interest has not prospered. The Barça advantage is that they have the approval of the former Atlético.
