According to Daily Sports, Barcelona is still looking for potential central defenders who can play a guest appearance as a full-back.
Barcelona coach Frick asked for the introduction of a goalkeeper and a winger this summer, and the two goals have been completed in July this year, which satisfy Frick. In addition, considering the injuries that occurred last season and the need for Barcelona to fight on multiple fronts in the new season, Frick also proposed the idea of strengthening the full-back position. The Daily Sports pointed out that after Inigo Martinez suddenly left the team, Barcelona still needs to find a central defender.
Due to the financial problems of the Barcelona club, both Barcelona management and Frick have considered ending the signing early and to see if there is a suitable defender candidate until January next year. But after Inigor Martinez left, Barcelona was studying the transfer market again. If there was a suitable opportunity, they also wanted to introduce a new defender.
Obviously, Barcelona's defender targets will not be high-priced players like Flynnon. They are studying players who can be competent for both full-back and central defender. Currently, there are only four central defenders left in Barcelona, among which Eric Garcia has been playing as the right back since the second half of last season. During this summer's warm-up match, Barcelona even let full-back Gerald Martin play a cameo appearance as a central defender.
However, before introducing new players, Barcelona's management must first register for Joan Garcia, Szczesny and Rashford in the new season. In addition, Marco Bernal and Gerald Martin also need to register with the first team. As for the 19-year-old Swedish winger Rooney Badeji who joined Barcelona this summer, he may register with the Barcelona reserve team first. The key to everything lies in whether Barcelona can meet the requirements of La Liga 1:1 rule.
At the same time, Barcelona director Deco and coach Frick don't want to buy people just for the sake of buying people. They hope to introduce powerful new players, otherwise Barcelona would rather bet on youth team players. If that happens, the two young players, including full-back Yofrey Torrence and central defender Andres Cuenca, will get more attention in the new season. If the Barcelona first-team defender is injured or in poor condition, these two young players may take on the heavy responsibility.
In terms of players leaving the team, Ford, Romeu and Penia will find solutions to leave the team in the next few days. In the midfield position, Barcelona has an oversupply of personnel. If an important offer is received for midfield players, the Barcelona club management will consider it.
