Barca need to strengthen their backline, which certainly makes more sense than Atelli. The men on their back line were mixed up in a haphazard manner, and the young men were looking for their way. Sergino, Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo) and veterans in their 30s (Pique and Jodi Alba, Gasergio Busquets in defensive midfielders), outside of the new striker Memphis Depay, almost the entire roster is made up of players outside of the normal best of 24 to 28. Worse still, they don't have much money to make a massive acquisition.
Kint, 27, is also out of their price range — Harvey reportedly had a $10 million transfer budget in January. -But he is more affordable than most options. He's a possession-focused centre-back who's steady in the air and physically better than Garcia, and while he's not a thorough defensive defender, he's better than Garcia and Araujo. If his expenses are too high, the 29-year-old Ferrari will be a reliable temporary option. He passed the ball one after another and from a development point of view, he was a high-end player.
Stuart Robson explained what Xavi could change to ensure Barcelona didn't waste more points at Rasiga.
Despite little activity in the transfer market recently, Real Madrid is slowly shifting from the old to the new. At the age of 21, Vinicius Jr. was enjoying a huge breakthrough (he had 22 goals and 60 chances in the league alone), and while the veterans still dominate in midfield, Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camaringa are ready for the future. However, they are a bit unbalanced. Vinicius occupied the left side of the attack, but no one stood out on the right.
Calabria probably. Whether it's right-back or right winger, he's solid, he's energetic from a pressure point of view, and his passes are aggressive. Of course, he is also the captain of Milan and may be hesitant to leave. But if it doesn't work out, or Los Brancos tries to save them money, for a bigger moving horizon, Centonze fits a similar image: aggressive defensive, offensive.
Bayern are currently one of the few best teams in Europe and have only lost two games in the last six months. They are ahead of the Bundesliga and only need four games (all wins, with a 17-2 goal gap) to reach the Champions League knockout stages. Their depth is likely to be matched by only Manchester City and Chelsea, and the only area where they may need help at the moment is right-back, where Benjamin Pavard is getting back in form Josip Stanišić's recent run was more than expected.
If they want to, they can do what Bayern does: pick valuable pieces from their opponents. Mbabu is a reliable, progressive passerby who did a dirty defensive job That Rhodes had done for Wolfsburg for years, and he was only 26 years old. In the long run, they can look again at the 17-year-old Cech – who joined Bayern's U19 last winter and then returned to MLS with three assists and an 81 percent completion rate in his third attack. He's not Alfonso Davis but he's going to be great.
