Ansu Fati, Sergi Robero, Memphis Depay, Eric García and Umtiti do not travel due to injury, and Gavi does not enter due to suspension.
Xavi It also has four players from the subsidiary: Jutglà, Balde, Ez Abde and Arnau Tenas.
Alexander Balde it could be one of the keys to facilitate the operation. The Argentine’s contract ends in 2023, but Balde could go on loan to Ajax as a replacement for Tagliafico, according to Oriol Domènech in Esport3.
One of those who can go out on loan this winter market is
Inaki Pena. Barça’s third goalkeeper is considering his options, and one of the ones that sound the strongest is that of the
Galatasaray. Barça has opened the doors for him to go out on loan, since the goalkeeper wants to add minutes in the elite, and in the Barça scene it is very difficult today.
The Barça stopped his exit to the
Granada last season, but the same will not happen in this market window. In the event that Iñaki left, the one who would take his place would be Arnau Tenas, the subsidiary’s goalkeeper, so he would enter into the dynamics of the first team.
The
Blackberry option continues to sound strongly in the heart of Barcelona. The contacts for his possible arrival at Barça intensified at the beginning of January, but the operation was diluted because the
Juventus could not find a 9 of guarantees to replace it. Despite this, Álvaro Morata continues to yearn for his transfer to Barça, and
Xavi Hernandez he keeps pining for him, and even more so after Ansu Fati’s injury.
However, Barça is not entirely clear about it for two reasons. The first and most urgent: the
‘financial fair play‘. Everyone is aware of the difficulties Barça has in registering players in LaLiga, and Morata’s salary would not be exactly low. The second:
Erling
Haaland. Joan Laporta wants to bring the Norwegian forward at all costs, and for this it is necessary to have a powerful financial muscle. Therefore, the board of directors is more in favor of saving to bring Borussia Dortmund’s ‘9’ in the summer.
Giráldez He insisted that “the victory against Real Madrid in the semi-finals and the way it came about is a blow of authority and gives us confidence to arrive with an extra point of motivation in the final”.
“The de
Virginia It is the best news we can have, tomorrow we will be rivals but it would be a great illusion and it would make me very happy if she can debut, which would make it an even more special match, close to players who are great friends and have experienced many things together. Hopefully we can experience his return on the pitch”, commented Marta Torrejón at the press conference prior to the final.
One of the important events on the Barça calendar is the final of the
Spain Supercup. Jonathan Giraldez’s players will face off against one of their quintessential rivals in recent years: the
Atletico Madrid. The game will be played today at
12:00 noon noon and can be seen from Teledeporte, TV3 and Barça TV, but it can also be followed from the website of
Sports world.
This final will be the perfect occasion for Barça to take the
rematch for the previous edition of the Spanish Super Cup. In the 2020/21 season, Atlético de Madrid beat Barça in the semi-final after going on penalties. That was the only title that escaped the Barça players last year.
Barça is still immersed in looking for a new sponsor for its shirt. In this case, a new option has been opened, but for the
manga:
Polkadot. However, the company is also exploring the possibility of expanding sponsorship for the
workout clothes. For now it occupies
backhoe, but the contract ends in June 2022, so looking for a replacement is more than necessary.
This company belongs to the world of ‘
blockchain, and seeks to introduce interoperability between different blockchains, allowing them to exchange data and thus be able to develop more powerful services and applications.
Xavi Hernandez He continues to want to reinforce his squad in several demarcations. However, for players to come, it is necessary for others to leave. It is getting more and more complicated, because the winter market is about to end, but Mateu Alemany and Joan Laporta do not lose hope of getting rid of some expendable pieces. It would be the case of
Óscar Mingueza, as we mentioned previously, although they also hope to sell to
Sergiño Dest to raise cash and release salary mass.
There are several players who like Barça, but economic limitations complicate the arrival of all of them. This is the case, for example, of
Alvaro Morata, from
Christensen, from
José Luis Gayà o from
Tagliafico.
José Bordalás, the coach from Ché, prefers Djené, whom he trained during his time on the Getafe bench. However, he would look favorably on Mingueza as an alternative if the azulón player does not end up coming. As for Celta and Mallorca, the two clubs would also have knocked on his door, but both the club and the player will make the decision based on whether Mingueza will have minutes at the future club. In fact, Barça could include a clause in which they receive a
economic compensation if Óscar did not have minutes.
In the context of negativity that surrounds Barcelona these days, there is news that will surely fill Barcelona fans with joy. It seems that
Ronald Araujo’s renewal is on the right track and could be closed in the next few days. The player’s will to continue wearing the Barça shirt has been key to advancing in the negotiations, which were stalled until this week, when the two parties met to address the situation.
The proposal of the azulgrana club would be around five years,
until 2027, and economically it is not as powerful as other offers that came to the player from England. However, the 22-year-old Uruguayan center-back feels very comfortable in Barcelona, and wants to make a career at Barça.
Ansu Fati’s injury came from a bad
planning of the player’s return. According to Xavi, the Barça ’10’ “was there to play for half an hour or thirty-five minutes, but the extra time upset us. We asked him and he was fine but you can never control that.”
The injury of
Ansu Fati in the biceps femoris tendon of the left leg does not look good, at least to recover with conservative treatment. According
Ferran Abat, sports traumatologist at ReSport Clinic, “he will need approximately three to four months of rehabilitation”.
Dr. Abat also warned that “it is an injury that not only requires a surgical process that we carry out in the operating room, in which we repair that tendon, but also the subsequent rehabilitation will have to be very careful and will have to have some very controlled phases so that there is no relapse”. Therefore, it will take both Barcelona fans and the player himself to have patience to come back stronger than ever.
To all this mess we must add that if
Ousmane Dembele sign for another team and leave the ranks of Barça in the remainder of the winter market, Dortmund could collect
five million more for, according to the German medium
Sport1. This amount is included in the 40 million for variables that the Barça club paid for him (plus the 105 fixed).
The situation with
Ousmane Dembele remains the same, at least
Xavi Hernandez. The fact of having one more casualty in the attack with Ansu Fati’s injury does not seem to be enough to change the opinion of the Barça coach, who we remember decided that the French winger
will not travel to Bilbao to play the cup match against Athletic.
“Nothing has changed, you already know what is there and you have to decide,” said Xavi at the press conference. The club follows in the same line with the French: it must look for equipment in the nine days that remain of market. The Dembélé clan still does not consider the negotiations closed and it is still expected that
Moussa Sissoko, the player’s agent, flies to Barcelona next week to discuss the negotiations.
Xavi Hernandez, the Barça coach, does not lose his optimism despite the tough week they have had to live through: elimination from the Super Cup against Real Madrid, elimination from the Cup against Athletic and a serious recurrence of Ansu Fati’s injury. There are enough reasons to be unmotivated, but not for the coach from Egar, who affirms that ”
remain optimistic“With this team.
What is clear to him is that more work must be done so that the
playing style Barça’s traditional team triumphs again: “We have to insist on the idea that made Barça great”. In reference to the results, he also added that “if you think that during the week you work well and then the results don’t come out, worry. You have to start having them now, but keep working on the idea, insist on it, and be patient”. Tonight in Mendizorroza will be a perfect opportunity to return to the path of victory.
