A week of break. A week of transfer market. Names of possible Barcelona signings are coming out from newspapers, radios and television stations. All that come out have a journalistic base. None have been invented. Truthfully. Although sometimes it seems incredible, the list of players linked in one way or another with Barcelona is immense. Footballers who interest the club. Footballers who are a prority. Footballers who offer themselves. The different grades between these rumours is wide. But there is just one reality: Robert Fernandez has to reinforce the squad with three signings. Barcelona need a right-back (Bellerin is the best option), a central-midfielder (Verratti is the dream) and a winger (Mahrez would love to come). An important movement in the dressing room. Plus the possible exits. Arda Turan top of the list, and cantera players who might be promoted - Alena, Marlon, Cardona and Palencia are the main candidates.
There are a lot of names for these three positions. Various are on the lists that Robert and Albert Soler have. Others, are put forward by intermediaries or agents. But they have all appeared in recent dys because Barcelona are not playing again until April 2. Deulofeu, Thiago (who will renew with Bayern) Vitolo and even Isco have been linked too. Obviously Barcelona cannot sign all of them. But it's good that the socios and worldwide fans of Barceloan can see how they are constructing the team of the future. And we are here to explain it.
