Impatient to regain its former splendor, FC Barcelona attempted a seductive bet by placing total confidence in Xavi Hernandez. If the Spaniard intends to rely on an exceptional Catalan pool, he also wants the contribution of new recruits. He dreams in particular of seeing Jules Koundé disembark.
With a sword of Damocles over his head, FC Barcelona tries to maneuver in a fog thicker than ever. In great financial difficulty, the Catalan club could still count on a promising winter transfer window with two quality recruits. If the first is called Ferran Torres, the second could be another offensive as the name of former Parisian Edinson Cavani resonates with intensity. Yet Xavi Hernandez’s dreams are quite different.
According to information from the Spanish press and more particularly from Sport, Xavi Hernandez would dream of enlisting in his workforce a jewel of French training: Jules Koundé. At 23, the former Bordeaux player is having a new high-flying season despite an abortive departure this summer, it caused him many wrongs. An attractive track that particularly appeals to FC Barcelona. The Catalan technician sees him perfectly integrated into the philosophy and the device of Barça. Nevertheless, a dream remains an illusion and it is difficult to imagine such a transaction. Sevilla FC does not wish to negotiate a potential departure. To dislodge him from the Andalusian club it will be necessary to lift his release clause worth 80 million euros. A sum far too important for the finances blaugranas.
