Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Porque]

Incredible player. Best player out of Hacken since Kim Kallstrom. The FM legend version that assists and scores for fun that is. Not the real version that played like discount Rabiot.

Supposedly Echeverri has "chosen" Barcelona and we have moved to tie his signature before City, Chelsea, etc. Deal would be 30m in instalments- so 5m than his current buyout.

Certainly had a better U17 WC than Messinho who we have been linked with but would cost a bit more.

Hopefully would get this right as a 30m mistake is huge for us right now (this period of low income without CN).

There's reliable reports about Chelsea speaking with Palmeiras over a 40m move for Estevao.

And we're reportedly also competing with Inter and Man United for Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall.

Laporta has said that the club intends to loan a "Davids" this winter.

I guess it would be the moment to look down Mendes list and clients and see who is currently not playing...

Or just bring back Nico. Apparently Girona wants him on loan.

Not like Xavi would play him anyway.

 

[fergus90]

Maybe Kalvin Phillips until May? He’s no Davids of course but he’s a different profile than what’s currently in the squad.

Linked to Fluminense's Andre today, Sports says Deco has been following him for months.

Andre said few days ago he would like to play in the EPL in future but prefers Barca over Madrid.

I guess the article wrote itself after that comment.

Andre is in that same camp with Marcos Leonardo, a talent who has been playing well for years and still somehow still in Brazil.

In other news, PSG apparently close to complete a double Brazil sweep. Besides Moscardo they are also signing a 20 yo CB Lucas Beraldo from Sao Paulo.

Not that we need another CB but could be a sneaky good signing for Lucho.

Never watched him but heard good things about him and he was doing fine for my Almeria team in FM23 (he's now only a 4th choice CB behind Todibo, Josip Šutalo and Kaiky though).

Could he be a long term solution at DM or just a stop gap?

Linked with Amadu Onana these past days for the DMC spot.

@Temptation
How do you rate him?

 

[Mozart]

Onana is a beast

 

[Andresito]

Everton bought him for 35m in 2022, contract until 2027, market value of 50m.

His release clause is apparently €85m. Really can't see how we'll get him despite Everton's FFP issues.

He's good for the Prem and for a club like Everton clearly.


He's an industrious, physical DM/CM. He's a fantastic destroyer. He's definitely more of a 6 than a box to box guy. He's useless around the box.


On the ball, he has some nice incisive forward passes. Fairly average on the ball for a Barcelona level mid otherwise and lacks a bit of discipline, maturity and composure. Can have brainfarts from time to time.


Been hearing great things about him lately. His breakout season. Good player but not world class potential at all.



Ndidi at his best is better. PEH would probably be a better option too looking at the price tag, experience, composure and style of play.


Performing at Everton under Dyche is a bit different than coming in at Barca under pressure. Spending that much money on this guy might backfire immediately. Very risky. Not to mention, the lad might forget all the Football he has learnt being coached by the Grasscutter Bros.
