Marco Verratti

[JamDav1982]

i say we forget signing Verratti, instead sign dembele play him in rw and put messi in midfield with iniesta and sergio

............. Stegen.....
semedo... pique... umtiti..... alba
.................sergio........
.............messi......iniesta.......
dembele.... saurez.......neymar

this is a good team, messi can play in midfield he played there before this will be better than wasting the entire summer trying to sign a player we can't sign or signing rubbish players like lima or paulinho

That midfield would be so bad in terms of energy, work rate and defending it doesnt bare thinking about.

If Messi is to play anywhere but RW it will be with AM and players to do his running.

let us just hope Verratti is part of Neymar deal. Otherwise just move on to any different target not named Paulinho.

This saga is like a fucking soap opera. I was completely into it to start the summer but now I give zero fucks. Renew or join. Choose one and be done with it.

 

[Barcaman]

Don't think we should go all in for him next summer. Will be 26, has a injury history and smokes.

Link to that? All I could find is a post with 3 comments (says a lot about PSG, lol) and they all are glad he fired his agent.

Agree. That's what I was saying actually.
We can't spend a whole year waiting for Verratti. It should be this summer or never. And the little italian needs to understand that we won't joke around with him for years.

A club like Barcelona should never depend on one player (except GOAT Messi maybe). We survived when guys like Maradona, R9 and R10 left.

Worst midfield ever

Yes, its highly likely. But we do buy dembele and messi in used in central advanced role, we can use a system where fullback are allowed to stay a bit inside to cover for mid weaknesses. And btw this isn't new, pep used the fullbacks to come inside a lot last season with city.

Didn't know 26 is close to retirement already. So the likes of Suarez, Vidal etc are practically geriatric.

Just replace Iniesta with one worker and reassemble in 4-2-3-1 and you have a team.

 

[mampilly]

If messi is in mf, paulinjo will be a great option PAIRING BUSI

Oddly enough ...

Sooooo. ..
Loads of rumours saying Inter Milan are looking to take INIESTA before the season starts !?!?!

 

[JerseyAddict]

I would keep Iniesta. He deserves farewell as Xavi did. But he realy needs to be more and more back up player. As Xavi was in last season.

El Mundo deportivo says that Raiola is his new agent and that means that it will be much harder to buy him.
Also, it seems that he is negotiating a new contract with Psg.
Our option is now Dybala:

With six weeks left to close the transfer market, FC Barcelona is still waiting to further strengthen its squad following the arrival of Nélson Semedo and the previous repurchase of Gerard Deulofeu . Marco Verratti has been from the first moment the priority option of the technical secretariat but now that of Paulo Dybala that emerges. The name of the Italian midfielder PSG was written to tackle the great investment of the summer but the course of events has caused his candidature to lower many integrants, especially after Wednesday announced that he has changed representatives. Mino Raiola is his agent instead of Donato di Campli , who had been an ally of Barça so that the player transmitted to PSG his desire to go to the Camp Nou. In addition, to the harassment of PSG by Neymar, Barca is not willing to give an economic injection bidding again by Verratti .
Possible renewal by PSG
Once started the relationship with Raiola , L'Équipe came to publish yesterday that Verratti is already negotiating the renewal of his contract with the French runner-up.
The relay has not been fitted with good eyes among the responsible sports of Barça , who also know the controversial profile of Raiola and his turbulent background with the club of the time when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was a Barcelona player and even after his departure despite wearing Maxwell's interests following this on the template.
Given the current difficulties of signing Verratti , who PSG already closed the exit door weeks ago, Barça has in its list very well located to 23-year-old Paulo Dybala , to make a strategic signing given its versatility in both the As in the front. It should not be forgotten that Deulofeu's situation in the squad is not quite clear even though the extreme has ensured that he is seen in the club competing with the best. Its termination clause, of 20 million euros, leaves the one of Riudarenes to the shot of many clubs.

Dybala appears in a list of future preferences of Robert Fernandez , like the mattress Antoine Griezmann and Osmane Dembélé , the arrow of Borussia Dortmund whose club is not willing to pass this summer. All three are considered players of a Barça level to mark the differences. In the case of Griezmann, the impossibility of signing Atletico for the sanction of FIFA and the good relations with the rojiblanco club also make impossible the offensive by what Dybala is the emerging star of the soccer more feasible world.
Followed since he was a member of Palermo , a team that left in 2015 for Juve , the Argentine has never hidden that Messi is his benchmark and who feels a predilection for the Barça style, as he expressed in an interview with MD in April before the crossing Of Champions . That month renewed until 2022 with the 'vecchia signora' but its market value would not be more than 90 or 100 million euros. The Barca had thought to make a great signing with Verratti but Dybala is now the first of the target.

Dybala has no release clause. Juve can act like PSG and maybe get Dybala to apologize too.
