Jorge Mendes places the final letter in a game that the culé club has been trying to win since it learned that its captain would not renew. Now it is the Portuguese midfielder who is very close to reaching the Spotify Camp Nou.
Several names have paraded through the FC Barcelona agenda to replace Sergio Busquets, and it seems that his replacement will be Rubén Neves. The representative of the Portuguese who is a close friend of Joan Laporta, we talked about jorge mendesalready spoke with Wolverhampton and the culé setand managed to establish a first negotiating table.
Despite the fact that Neves has one year left on his contract with the English team, the operation does not seem easy, since before Barcelona arrived, the Portuguese was close to signing the renewal. In fact, it is said that he will do it first, before negotiating with the Catalan team. For the presidency and the Barcelonista sports management, it is a first step that they must take advantage of.
The discarding of FC Barcelona that will serve as a bargaining chip to sign Rubén Neves
Right now the Lusitanian midfielder is valued at 40 million euros, and if he renews first with the Wolf team, his price would be set at 60 kilos. But the idea is that he does not sign his contract extension, and the way to convince the Wolves is by offering one of their discards, already sentenced by Xavi Hernández.
Although they don’t play in the same position, they can greatly help Wolverhampton’s attack. This would be Ansu Fati, a footballer who has done all the merits to get out of the culé discipline, since he has no opportunities to evolve under the orders of the Catalan coach. It turns out that the agent of the Hispanic-Bisauguinean is the same as that of the Portuguese, Jorge Mendes.
The coach of FC Barcelona does not dislike the signing of Rubén Neves, but he is exploring other options
Replacing a player as important as Sergio Busquets is quite a difficult task, which is why the captain represented throughout these 15 years of service. Xavi, who in addition to being his coach in these 2 seasons, was also his teammate on the field, and knows that taking over from Sabadell is no easy task. For this reason, although he does not dislike the idea of the Portuguese, he wants to wait to analyze other alternatives.
One of them is that of Martín Zubimendi, but Real Sociedad is not making it easy at all. In addition, the man from San Sebastian wants to play in the Champions League with the club he loves, and they are close to achieving it. The other option is Guido Rodríguez, a letter with which Betis wants to make a big box, and the offers they will accept will start at a minimum of 30 million euros.
