On December 24, Beijing time, Barca was getting closer and closer to winning De Ligt after finalizing Ferran Torres. After Messi left the team, Harvey began to rejuvenate the team, intending to form a young central axis.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Ferran Torres is about to move to Barca because the players want to go and Guardiola wants everyone to be happy. On Ferran Torres, Barca smashed 55 million euros.
With the exception of Ferran Torres, Barca's rebuilding continues, especially in the backline, Pique is already a veteran and his mind is not on the football field, and Umtiti is embarrassed. Now, Barca are targeting Juventus defender De Ligt.
De Ligt originally joined Juventus for a transfer fee of 80 million euros, a penalty of 120 million euros, and the Netherlands international was only 22 years old, but did not play at the peak level at Juventus.
De Ligt's agent has hinted that the player himself is ready to leave the squad and join Barca. "I think De Ligt is ready for a new challenge." Raiola said. It is worth mentioning that De Ligt and Barca midfielder De Jong are also good friends.
Ferran Torres is the midfielder, De Ligt is the defender and as for the Barca striker, there is also Messi's successor Fati.
That is to say, Barça's young central axis is ready to come out, and Ferran Torres, De Ligt and Fati are the cornerstones of Barça's revival.
After Messi left the team, Barca's performance declined badly, they were out of the group in the Champions League this season, and the league title was hopeless. In the La Liga table, Barca are only 7th, with 28 points, 18 points behind Real Madrid at the top of the table.
But Barca have welcomed back legendary superstar Xavi and the club will remain patient enough that Barca are willing to go through periods of pain while hoping for the young players to grow up faster.
The transfer fee of Ferran Torres is 55 million euros, the de Ligt transfer fee is expected to be as high as 80 million euros, and with the addition of Fati, who is worth up to 60 million euros, the total value of the central axis is 195 million euros.
