Barcelona wants to strengthen its ranks during the current summer Mercato, to fight for titles in the new season
And coach Xavi Hernandez is thinking of building a strong project for many years, to restore the glories of the Catalan club, after a difficult period experienced by the club at the sporting and economic level
One of the most important positions that Barcelona is working to strengthen is the center of the right wing, which will be a dilemma in the Mercato, after the end of Osman Dembele’s contract
Dembele crisis
Dembele’s relationship with Barcelona ended with the end of his contract, and he is now a free player. At the moment, the talk will not be about renewing his contract, but rather offering a new contract and registering him as a new player at the club
Dembele has not decided his position on the latest offer made by the Catalan club, and it was reported that the administration does not intend to amend this offer, so it seems that the Frenchman is out of the Catalan club’s accounts
The absence of an alternative
After Dembele’s departure, and the option to buy on Adama Traore’s loan deal deactivated this summer, there is only one player left in the right wing position
This player is the return from loan Francisco Trincao, who is pressing the club’s management to move to Sporting Lisbon, Portugal
Barcelona aims to sell the player permanently, to benefit from the financial compensation instead of loaning him again
In this case, Ferran Torres will be used as a right winger, as he played in this position several matches during his career, but it remains a temporary solution
