The FC Barcelona It is going through an unprecedented economic crisis derived from the Covid-19 pandemic that forced the stadiums to close. This, together with poor sports planning by the President at that time, Josep María Bartomeu, led to the perfect cocktail for an economic crisis. That is why these 5 footballers could have (some already have) an important function in the nearest future:
– Inaki Pena: the 22-year-old goalkeeper Galatasaray will return from Istanbul after his loan to the Turkish club. In this way the club could get rid of Neto and bet on the youth squad as the second goalkeeper. And although this season Ter Stegen has not suffered major injuries, last season a knee operation made him miss the beginning and the end of it. Peña should be prepared to take the alternative in that case.
– Bucket
– Nico: Fran González’s son has been an important piece in some moments of the start of the season with Koeman. He has participated in 27 league games, 12 of them as a starter, being the 13th player with the most minutes in the squad. That is to say, he is settled in the first team but he needs to take a step forward towards ownership.
-Ansu Fati: who was called to be the cornerstone of the FC Barcelona of the future has seen his progression cut due to injuries. The Spaniard, yes, has an idyll with the goal that will be very necessary for the Barça of the future: he has scored 4 goals in 300 minutes: one every 75 minutes.
-Gavi: the one who has played the most minutes (5th after Ter Stegen, Jordi Alba, Busquets and Frenkie De Jong) and the youngest of the 5 (17 years old). He has been a starter for most of the season. However, when the entire midfield has been available for Xavi, the one from Terrassa has opted for De Jong-Busquets-Pedri, leaving the Sevillian relegated to the bench.
