Mbappé and Haaland, Haaland and Mbappé. Their careers are called to go hand in hand, since they oppose the double throne that Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi will leave vacant with their retirement. There are several teams that sound like future destinations for both, with Real Madrid and Barcelona among them. In this context, Albert Ferrer, a former Barça defender who also went through the Premier (Chelsea), has analyzed the operations in Barça code, in an interview with the Mirror.
“I think Barcelona can fight for titles even now, but I think they need a striker to make a difference. If you look at the big clubs, most of them have a top striker who scores 20 goals every season and that is something that Barça misses. We’ll see how Memphis goes, but it’s not a real ‘9’. Let’s not forget that Barça lost Messi and Suárez in two years“, it began.
“It’s an average of 50 goals per season. To win realistically they need a top striker.“He added. At the moment, the pure center forwards that Koeman has are Luuk de Jong and an Agüero who has just returned from injury. Chapi something else is needed.
The conditions to assess
Of course, Ferrer understands that you have to spin fine when signing and take into account all the conditions, not only the price of the footballer. “But they must consider the way they play. They always have over 70% of possession, and that means that the opponent waits behind and leaves no spaces. I’m not saying that Mbappé and Haaland wouldn’t fit in, but maybe they didn’t play a football they were comfortable with.. They need a striker, but you have to pay attention to the type of striker you need, considering the circumstances and the philosophy of the club “, ended.
