From the red-and-white box there is expectation for a possible important march in defense
Gerard Pique has announced his retirement and since Barcelona FC will now be saved several million with their departure, so now they will have a good amount to assume some signing. And it is that the veteran has confirmed that he will not play football anymore despite still having a valid contract, so in sports, the Catalans will have to find a replacement.
Remember that the level of 35 year old footballer has gone down with the passage of the last season. Now his downturn is more notable and this has been evidenced by the performances that he has had both in The league Santander as in UEFA Champions League. Either way, his departure was already budgeted for.
With Piqué’s millions, Barcelona will look for a signing at Girona
In this way it is that now the Blaugrana leadership will have to act and with the millions destined for Piqué they will now be able to try a signing. They already have a good number of interesting names, but at Girona FC there is one that could be key for the future due to his projection.
In that order of ideas, the goal that Barcelona has set for itself is none other than Arnau Martínez. At 19 years old, this Catalan winger has shown a lot of versatility, since he also does well as a central defender in both profiles. This season he has accumulated 10 games as a starter and has scored two goals.
This young talent is one of the notes of the picture of the Municipal de Montilivi
Arnau has a contract in force with the Albirroja entity until 2025, so the culé team would have to refer to its termination clause. Of course, with the departure of Gerard Piqué, they could easily assume the 20 million euros that appear in their contract. The level that he has and how much he can grow in the following seasons is what captivates the leadership of those from Camp Nou.
We will have to wait then for what may happen with this movement. At the moment it is a name to be considered by the culé club. Of course, it has not yet been defined whether they will make a first offer for the market winter or wait for the summer window. There is expectation in both squads for this operation.
