The Xavi project is still under construction. Despite the fact that in last summer’s market, thanks to the famous cranes, Barcelona managed to sign big names like Robert Lewandowski or Jules Conde, the truth is that there are still some positions they need, according to the Barcelona coach. Strengthen. One is a midfield that, with Sergio Busquets likely to depart at the end of the season and with Frank Kessie on the exit ramp, will become a money orphan
La Masia Player of the Month for January
For this reason, the Blaugrana Sporting District is already working on trying to sign a player of the level necessary to cement this position from January, when Casey could already have been transferred. For this, Xavi Hernandez thinks of Nico Gonzalez, the player who was already under his command last season and who went on loan to Valencia’s Gennaro Gattuso last summer, where he does not enjoy
In this way, with Xavi needing a midfielder for his team, and Neco dissatisfied with the role he plays at Mestalla, it seems that the return of the Galician player to FC Barcelona could be a satisfactory option for both parties. However, the one who will not be ready for this return is Gennaro Gattuso and the Valencia Sports Administration, because they want to obtain the services of the former player until at least 2023, the year in which his transfer ends
This puts Valencia in an advantageous position, as it has signed a contract with Nico and Pasha for the services of the Galicia player until 2023. However, FC Barcelona hopes to be able to negotiate a transfer break with Chiese and win the player back without him. Having to pay the club one euro, taking over only player fees, one of the highest in the Valencia squad
It is precisely on this last point that the main hopes of the Catalan team lie in the completion of this transfer. Niko is not part of his current coach’s plans and the management could see with good eyes the disposal of one of his high-profile signings. It does not have an appropriate weight in the team sports rotation. Whatever the case, it is clear that if he were not Nico Gonzalez, he would be another midfielder arriving in the Catalan capital to strengthen Xavi Hernandez’s side
