Adios Barcelona? Yusuf Demir’s immediate future could continue elsewhere – Spanish media report Demir’s Barca exit.
At FC Barcelona they want to set the course for the January transfer market. The Catalans have to revolutionize their squad in order to improve performance at the crucial phase of the season. In connection with this, there will inevitably have to be departures in order to be able to cut various salaries and to fill the clammy wallet a little. According to the Spanish media, the first victim of this renovation is ÖFB jewel Yusuf Demir, who was only on loan from Rapid Vienna this summer.
According to the Catalan “Sport”, Barca will not pull the contractually anchored purchase option of 10 million euros. Demir has already been informed that he can negotiate with other clubs. Thus, the rights to the technically skilled left footer would initially go back to his parent club Rapid. Potential buyers are also already ready.
German clubs in wait
Demir has made himself popular with several German clubs. Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht and Bayer Leverkusen, among others, are said to be after the tempo dribbler.
The adventure with the “Blaugrana” began furiously for 18-year-old Austria. Originally planned for the second Barca team, Demir drew attention to himself thanks to strong preparation and recommended himself to then coach Ronald Koeman for the first guard. The stakes in the league and the premier class were parallel with the poor sporting performance of Barcelona. Apparently, he is no longer needed by neo-coach Xavi.
