Barcelona, under the leadership of Xavi, has improved in an all-round way and gradually sees hope for revival. On the one hand, the quality of Barça's new senior management has improved significantly, and the cost performance is explosive; on the other hand, although Barça is out of the Champions League group stage, it has broken through the europa League in a row to reach the top 8, and the call for winning the championship is high. Earlier, Barca passed out 2 big positives, which made fans full of expectations for the future.
First of all, Barca have set their sights on a new target at left-back, which is Real Madrid's veteran Reguilon and the possibility of negotiating a trade with Tottenham.
In the past period, Barca have frequently passed gossip with left-backs, including Gaia, Grimaldo, Tagliafico and Wendal. Reguilon's appearance on Barca's reinforcement list, while quite unexpected, is not empty, as confirmed by the Italian name Romano. The reporter said earlier that Reguilon's performance has attracted the interest of many teams, and Barca are currently paying attention to the situation of the Spanish star.
In addition, Barca's reporter Romero confirmed that the agent recommended Reguilon to Barca. The Daily Sport said that in view of the difficulty of bringing in Gaya, Barca considered the possibility of signing Reguilon. Tottenham boss Conte likes Depay and Lenglet, so one of the two players is likely to join TheRgilon in the deal, with both clubs taking what they need.
The agent recommends players to Barca, what does this mean? This shows that Reguilon moved the idea of leaving the team, and the most critical reason for this may be to be selected for the Spanish national team roster and participate in the Qatar World Cup at the end of this year.
In the latest national team squad released by Enrique, Legilon was not selected. Barca is the big player of the Spanish national team in this period, a total of 5 people have been selected, from the defense, midfield to the forward there are Rossandriff players. Considering that Enrique was once the Barcelona manager, he seems to have a special preference for the players of his old club.
Veteran Alba has been in excellent form this season but is in dire need of a reliable substitute to succeed smoothly in the future. With the need to play on the Barça multi-line, There will be no shortage of opportunities to perform after Reguilon joins. And being able to show himself under Enrique's eyes can also win more impression points for himself very well.
Reinforcing left-backs and cleaning up Lenglet or Depay is certainly good news for Barca. But for Reguilon, Barca fans will not extend their arms to welcome, because he is a Real Madrid man who is in the red and has a verbal conflict with Messi and Suarez on the field when he played for Real Madrid. At that time, Reguilon angrily spewed garbage, calling Messi a little fleas, spraying Su teeth "You are so ugly". This disgraceful history doomed Reguilon not to have a good impression in the minds of Barca fans.
The second is that Villa intends to buy out Coutinho, and the two sides are currently negotiating.
In order to get Coutinho that year, Barca threw the highest transfer fee in the history of the team of 160 million euros. But after the plot is known, the Brazilian midfielder has become the most expensive "parallel cargo" in the history of Barca. In order to clean up the biggest burden in the history of this team, barca executives have been busy for several years, and finally the Premier League team reached out. Coutinho went on loan to Villa in the winter window and regained form under old team-mate Gerrard. As of now, he has started 8 times in 9 league rounds, scored 4 goals and assisted 3 times, and has become Villa's "new thigh".
Coutinho's loan contract contained an optional buyout for 40 million euros. The money is not too much of a problem for the Premier League team, the key is Coutinho's salary, he has to cut his salary to be able to stay at Villa.
I don't know if Barça fans have a similar feeling, after Xavi came to power, Barca in many ways are getting better little by little. From the club's market development, to tactical play, reinforcements, etc., if the redundant personnel in the team can be cleared up one after another, a new Barca team is expected to be built this summer.
