After the Barcelona administration’s decision to continue Xavi Hernandez as head of the Catalan team’s technical staff, Barcelona decided to search for inexpensive alternatives to strengthen the midfield during the upcoming summer transfer period.
\nBarcelona is seeking to sign a number of players whose contracts expire at the end of the season so as not to bear the cost of their transfer, especially with the difficult economic situation that the Catalan club is going through.<\/p>\n
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper \u201cSport\u201d, it has been decided on the choice of Guido Rodriguez, the 30-year-old Real Betis midfielder, who will become a free player on June 30, and contacts have also begun to include him in a free transfer deal.
\nAlthough the player did not attract the attention of the fans due to his age and does not have much experience in Europe, the Barcelona administration praised his quality and the experience he possesses with the Betis team.<\/p>\n
What gives the Argentine\u2019s file additional value is his victory with his country\u2019s national team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, accompanied by the legend Lionel Messi.
\nThe newspaper indicated Napoli’s interest in contracting with Guido, but Barcelona is considered the most advanced in the deal, as the club’s sporting director, Deco, is searching for economic options to strengthen the team’s ranks.<\/p>\n
The Argentine player is also considered a good alternative in the event of the departure of Oriol Romeu, and perhaps Andreas Christensen, who has recently played in midfield.
\nBarca tried to sign Guido during the last winter transfer period, but he suffered an ankle injury in December that prevented the deal from being achieved.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Deco will try again to sign him this summer, in addition to planning big deals during the summer of 2025 when the Camp Nou stadium reopens, and planning to deal with the financial crisis that the club is facing quietly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
