Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman reveals his transfer plans.
The new Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has stated that they are not yet done with the current transfer window and they might sign two more major players. Due to the financial problems over at the Nou Camp the former Netherlands manager is having a tough period and is not been able to buy players comfortably.
The Spanish giants are looking to land Manchester City‘s Eric Garcia and Lyon‘s Memphis Depay to complete their current transfer window targets. However, their rebuild is going well as they just completed the signing of Ajax youngster Sergino Dest. who was officially announced recently. The former Ajax defender got the squad number 2 which was legendary right back Dani Alves’ squad number previously.
Barcelona’s rebuild has seen them take some harsh decisions. Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic, Nelson Semedo and Arthur Melo have all been sold to top European clubs in different leagues. These players were sold inorder to free up wages and bring in some money for transfers as they are suffering through major financial problems. This coronavirus pandemic saw the Blaugrana suffer a loss of 320 million euros.
However, former Everton boss Ronald Koeman has stated that the Catalan giants are looking to sign a centre back and a forward. Talks about Ousmane Dembele and Rafinha being sold have emerged over the last few days. The manager has reportedly admitted that they are weak in defence and that they will be needing reinforcements. Hence, former La Masia youngster Eric Garcia might just be heading back home. Depay on the other hand has reportedly agreed personal terms but yet there’s no official news.
The La Liga giants have won both of their starting games in the league and they look strong and determined. Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati look to in good form and shape. However, the manager feels that reinforcements are needed and with the transfer window coming to a close, there might be a couple of more signings soon to be announced.
