Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[xXKonan]

Barcelona will monitor Olympique Lyon forward Maxwel Cornet (19) after sports director Robert saw him at Valencia-Lyon last week. [md]

 

[Ghostmaster]

Bartomeu (president): "I've been told the coach wants a forward in January. If we sign someone, it'll be on loan with a buy option." [sport]

MD says our budget for next summer is around 50-60 millions. Only enough to buy a CB?

CB and back-up LB is fine. We could maybe bring Halilovic back and sell at least one of Mathieu and Bartra, as well as Munir and Sandro.

Maybe we can get a couple of millions by selling Tello, Denis Suarez, Song, Douglas VdB

D.Suarez is already sold .doubt we will buy him to sell him again
But if it is 50M + sales that could easily be something around 70M .Tello will get us alone around 10M .
Enough for a CB with a back up LB and/or attacker

Ah that's right, but it's a possibility especially if we can sell him for more than his buy back.

Don't think Lucho would want to sell Tello though... He would be a great impact sub, to run past tired legs. And he won't get cold feet when he is given a chance to make it a manito either!

And if hopefully Vidal does well as a LB back-up, we would do well to buy a solid, young, in-prime CB to partner Pique, like John Stones for example

Barcelona will in coming days sign Fluminense midfielder Robert (19). Loan, 7M buy option. Will switch between first team and B-team [sport]

 

[khaled_a_d]

Any of the Brazilians in the forum know anything about him?what position does he play in midfield at least ?

 

[Jombi]

Could Robert be another money laundering deal? He doesnt get to play for Fluminense, so it certainly has some hallmarks of another one of those deals.

I read he's an attacking midfielder.

and sure enough this popped up.

That's the first thought that entered my mind.... Only, the opposite! It's loan with a buy option, little chance does it leave for money laundering! Even if it did, not much can they pocket from it

It is a loan with option to buy ,same deal Sergio Araujo & Luis Alberto got tbf and if he is AM as xXKonan say then he is signed for a position of need since Barca B lack any offensive power

Hopefully. It's worrying that he isnt considered good enough to play for Fluminense though.
