Luis Enrique has prepared another blow at Barça, which would completely KO Joan Laporta. Because the departure of Ousmane Dembélé last summer is still burning , when everyone was clear that he would continue. Despite having a very desirable termination clause in his contract, ‘el Mosquit’ informed Xavi Hernández that he had no intention of packing his bags, even if he was paid much more money in other clubs. But everything changed with the appearance of Paris Saint-Germain on the scene.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi convinced the Russian World Cup champion, and promised him that he would be one of the leaders of the project, and would have the same role as in the Camp Nou. And he ended up leaving the Catalan organization after six years, becoming one of the great enemies of the fans. Especially, after the quarter-final matches of the Champions League , where he completed two exceptional performances, scoring a goal in both clashes.
He had no problem celebrating them effusively, challenging the stands as he left the pitch to boos and whistles. He was one of the culprits in the classification of the Galician team in the semi-finals, and in the elimination of the Blaugrana, putting his finger on a wound that is still open. Because they have missed a lot the ex- Borussia Dortmund and Stade Rennais, who also only left 25 million euros in the coffers.
And in the Parc dels Prínceps they are cooking up a new betrayal at Barça, which could be as painful as that of Dembélé, as those of Neymar Júnior and Leo Messi at the time. This time, the protagonist would be Alejandro Balde, who is one of Luis Enrique’s first requests for the following season. He needs to improve the left-back demarcation, in which he will lose Layvin Kurzawa, and Lucas Hernández will be out for many months
In addition, Nuno Mendes has not completely convinced, which is why he is interested in the Spanish international, whom he made his debut in ‘La Roja’.
Balde, one of the candidates to leave Barça
Hans-Dieter Flick does not consider Balde essential, and in case a good offer arrives, he advises Barça to allow his departure. But Laporta and Deco, even if they don’t close the doors, refuse to negotiate with Al-Khelaïfi, who they can’t even see.
But if PSG put a lot of money on the table, it would be hard to say no…
