It will be difficult for FC Barcelona to fulfill Xavi Hernandez’s desire to put everyone who was left out in another team after arriving straight from the American tour. This was what he would have liked to avoid for complications when they returned to work at Sports City, but he was also fully aware of the difficulties of the challenge. He spoke from Dallas about the situation and reiterated that he was very clear with the players in May and that they were helping them find solutions so they had a chance to play
The sports department does not find clubs willing to sign them because of the high records of footballers, the few offers that reach the club’s offices, or the little willingness of some to leave FC Barcelona. The five dissidents to exit after returning from the American tour
Clear
He was very close to signing with Celta but in the end the process could not be closed. Fulham and Napoli are the latest teams to show interest in signing him. The goalkeeper wants to leave but he doesn’t want to lose a lot of money with a change of team and one of the problems he will have is his energy
Mingiza
Of all the neglected, he’s the one that makes getting out the easiest. His priority is to continue in La Liga, although he has also received offers from abroad. Valladolid, Getafe, Girona and Celta are on their agenda. Galatasaray wants and Germany Hoffenheim and AEK Athens from teams that are not in the league
Riqui Puig
His case is quite amazing. He always wanted to succeed at Barcelona and ruled out his departure on loan during Valverde’s stage and Koeman on the bench. Xavi convinced him that the best thing for him was to leave and the player came to his senses. Several weeks ago, there was talk of a possible interest from Valencia as he likes Gatsu, and it was also commented that Benfica might be interested but it was a long time since there was any information about a possible destination for the footballer
Samuel Umtiti
His signature with “Rennes” was practically closed but at the last minute the process went to waste due to the French club’s doubts about his physical condition. Umtiti has been reluctant to leave in the past, but this summer it hasn’t caused them any problems to find a destination where he can play. I asked teams from Turkey about his situation, but he had doubts
Braithwaite
Of all those who have been neglected, he is the one who puts the most obstacles in the way of getting out. The club has repeatedly told him actively and passively that he has to leave because they don’t want him, but he insists he wants to succeed as a Barcelona player and is not in a hurry to find a new destination. His agents don’t move around much, Barcelona have some offers and they obviously want to get some cash by transferring them, even if it’s just a little bit. Valencia is one of the teams that you might want to sign and there are teams in the Premier League that want him as well. But the first thing you need to do is double your will to survive, and that’s no easy feat
Xavi wanted to see him and take him on an American tour, unlike the others. But the Bosnian is still in the market, hoping to find the perfect solution for him. Last season he played on loan in Besiktas. Lately he has been excited to work with Xavi and it seems he doesn’t really want to look for another team. His high record is an added problem to find the team he wants
