Rüdiger, used center

The winter market in Barcelona is agitated for several reasons. The first is the one that directly affects the date of the elections, which the Manager has proposed for January 24, leaving the new president the scarce margin of one week to be able to negotiate. The other aspect, whether the manager is or not, is the very poor state of Barcelona's coffers. The Blaugrana team needs a center-back, the coach is aware of this and also wants Memphis Depay. Given the economic constraints, an emergency center is imposed and in this sense Antonio Rüdiger from Chelsea would be the option chosen to bequeath on loan.

Both objectives depend on the economic capacity of Barcelona. The agreement with Manchester City is almost ruled out despite the fact that in January the Catalan central defender will have six months to go before he is free. The City does not get off the donkey and continues to ask for 10 million for the culé youth squad. The English already demonstrated a year ago that their pulse does not tremble in these situations and Florentino Pérez had to pay 17 million for Brahim, who was ending his contract. Eric would arrive for free in June, while Rüdiger fills him in.
