Barcelona keep hoping they will be able to sign Conde and have not yet been thrown in the towel to be able to sign the central defender from Sevilla. They know that the competition from Chelsea has made things very difficult, but they still trust the word of the defender who would rather play at the Camp Nou. The sports administration, realizing that Conde is Xavi’s first priority to strengthen the axis of defense, continues to work to achieve a signature that they did not exclude from their accounts at any time
Xavi’s insistence was crucial to the sports district not to throw in the towel and to try to unblock a football player whom they contacted on several occasions throughout the summer and who was waiting for FC Barcelona
The key now is for Conde to stay firm and to keep waiting for Barcelona. In the offices of FC Barcelona, they believe he will continue to wait which is why they continue to keep their hopes of being able to sign him. The second lever has already been activated and announced, although the third or multiple exits will be missing to be able to score all players being signed
They also know in Barcelona that Chelsea and Sevilla are in a rush to close the deal, and although closing the process seemed imminent for several days, the truth is that Conde is still a player for the Andalusian club and his “imminent” agreement has yet to arrive. The other problem, in the Barcelona key, is Chelsea’s financial bid for Conde, with Barcelona set his salary scale and he can’t do “crazy things”
For this reason, and just in anticipation of Conde ending up signing with Chelsea, Barcelona activated the plan and contacted Inigo Martini. Although Xavi is still Condé’s priority and wants him to join as soon as possible
