Estupinan is a player we actually liked a lot, but being an EPL player (Watford) while taking a non-eu sport is a bit of a problem for us. May be if Watford get relegated his price will be reasonable.

He's an interesting player for sure.

He's on loan at Osasuna until 2021 though, and he actually isn't non-EU as he's been playing for different teams in Spain since 2016.

never watched him, but we have got plenty of young CBs who are waiting for their chances. Araujo, Todibo, Mingo, and Igor.

He has announced a few days ago he won't stay at Osasuna next season. Watford will probably look to sell him this time. AM is after him. I wouldn't mind him here but we'll probably wait too long trying to include Firpo in the Lautaro deal.

If Watford relegate today then Estupinan becomes an even more feasible signing.

Has he been any better this season at Osasuna than Firpo at Betis though? If we are getting a similar level then it would just be a case of buying him for less than the sale of Firpo and balancing the books- yet again. In that scenario could we just trust in Akieme until winter market at worst?

Alot to keep on our agenda as if Barcelona B promote he can stay match fit in Segunda.

He's better defensively and he has more experience playing in a 4-man defense (Firpo was mainly used as a LWB with 3 at the back at Betis). He's not the greatest technically but quite solid offensively anyway.

Mikel Arteta wants Coutinho at Arsenal. In recent days there has been speculation even with the inclusion of Guendouzi in the operation, but Barcelona has said 'no'. Barcelona ONLY wants money. @gbsans

Hope this is true. Don’t want any bums in return.

Arsenal will unfortunately never be able to afford him.

Barca will NOT sign any more players until they can sell a footballer. Barca's economy does not allow for any investment if no money goes into the coffers. The technical secretary has direct orders from President Bartomeu and the economic area per @EsportsRAC1

Might as well just close this thread :lol:

Not necessarily a bad thing, and the perfect ammunition for oppositions electoral campaign. That this board run us so poorly financially that we could not enhance the sporting project.


Well, I say all of this, when in the end it is probably Barto's 4D chess to get Lautaro Martinez for 101m rather than 111m.

It's probably tactics too. Barto or Barca management always said conservative number when it came to summer transfer budget and then overspent it.
