Barca News
Betis and Barça have maintained great relationships in recent years, carrying out some joint operations such as that of the Emerson side.
The arrival this summer of Ramón Planes as sports director of the Verdiblancos has strengthened ties much more and it is likely that there will be more than one negotiation that bears fruit in the coming weeks or days.
Betis already has Nico’s loan for next season well advanced, pending the OK from the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and Eric Garcia could accompany him, with the OK from Barça.
The center-back already knows that he will have a few minutes in the next Blaugrana project and is seriously considering the offer from the Andalusians. There have already been conversations and you should give an answer in a matter of days.
Eric Garcia knows that he needs a boost to his career. He arrived at Barça with the letter of freedom, rejecting a renewal offer from Manchester City and became indisputable with Koeman, something that earned him a starting position in Luis Enrique’s Spanish team.
With Xavi he has been losing weight and the logical thing is that he will play much less next year with the arrival of Íñigo Martínez and the rise of one of the subsidiary’s central defenders. And another year in ostracism would be too complicated.
Betis found the option for Eric Garcia almost by chance. And Ramon Planes, who brought him to Barça, has not missed the opportunity, convinced that he will be a very important player for Pellegrini.
The operation is being discussed through a loan with a purchase option and, at the moment, everything will depend on the footballer’s own word. And it is very possible that he will give the OK even before the blaugrana tour in the United States. There is nothing signed, far from it, but it seems that he looks good.
If Barça manages to get Eric out, they could solve the overbooking they had in defensive positions in a few days. Umtiti was terminated, Lenglet is already one step away from Tottenham and Eric would go on loan.
A very important and key saving in planning, although it would also imply the arrival of a right back to complete the defensive appearance.
Deco’s idea is to have 4 central defenders -Araujo, Koundé, Chistensen and Íñigo Martínez, two left-backs -Marcos Alonso and Balde- and a right-handed specialist. Despite the continuous rumors about Cancelo, the chosen one is Iván Fresneda, from Valladolid.
By age, by projection and because his record will be adjusted to the maximum to avoid the salary limit. From there he will close the midfield and the offensive positions. There’s a lot of time left.
