Julio Salinas, ex of the FC Barcelona, ​​spoke with Betsfy to share his impressions on the Barcelona present time. The main one, the permanence or not of Messi that conditions the entire season and the immediate future. For the former striker, the club's empty box puts him on the starting ramp.

“Messi is the best, but it is clear that Barça needs signings and the box is empty. There is no money, he has a very big financial problem and Messi charges almost 100 kilos. To win you have to sign and it is difficult for someone to come because of the current situation, so it will be their own Messi the one who will decide to leave and start his last stage in a club that gives him absolute security to be able to win the Champions League, “said the Basque.

This also sees the Koeman team as a soft team and in need of new, high-quality sap. “He needs to ensure in the defensive aspect. He is soft in defense, although the absence of Piqué is noticeable. Sergi Roberto will contribute when he returns but I think we must ensure the defensive issue. They cannot make him chances so easily,” he says. In addition, it points to the technical secretariat and planning to be able to aspire to the Champions League. “He is missing three or four important signings that give the team consistency, freshness and be able to make changes. Against Athletic, they are late and there are players like Junior, Trincao or Braithwaite … and Barcelona needs players with more weight to be able to aspire to the Champions League, “he says.

He sees the rojiblancos, for whom he also played, just winners of this last Super Cup. “Athletic was just the winner because they went for the game with a better attitude, with more motivation. Barça did not have possession or control and Athletic reacted in two difficult moments with adverse situations on the scoreboard. it was known to replace, with great physical wear and tear “, sentence.
