The Catalan newspaper, Sport, warned that FC Barcelona is about to make a mistake, which it described as historic, with one of its current players, similar to what the club’s management did with Thiago Alcantara 10 years ago.
Nico González arrived at La Masia at the age of 11 and was molded to one day be the replacement for Sergio Busquets, which would have to happen this summer after the farewell of what has been the best midfielder in the history of Barça .
Incomprehensibly, everything indicates that this will not happen no matter how much the man from Badia has said publicly that he was his natural replacement and that the club has very limited resources to go to the market to look for a pivot.
The current coaching staff’s lack of confidence in the 21-year-old Galician footballer could lead to a second consecutive loan : after spending a year at Valencia, Betis wants him no matter what .
Therefore, Barça is on the verge of repeating a historical mistake similar to the one that was committed exactly a decade ago with another youth player as the protagonist: Thiago Alcántara.
Mazinho ‘s eldest son was called to be the replacement for Xavi and Iniesta , but due to lack of opportunities or patience, at the age of 22, he ended up going to Bayern Munich for 25 million euros, where Guardiola welcomed him with open arms.
An internal reflection is therefore required on the decision that the club is preparing to make this summer with Nico so as not to regret his goodbye as happened with Thiago.
