Little by little, FC Barcelona is advancing on the transfer window. After completing the arrivals of Dani Alves and Ferran Torres, the Catalans carried out a few operations – the departure of Coutinho and the “extension” of Umtiti – which will allow the now ex-Citizen to be entered. And that’s not all, since Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany intend to offer new players to Xavi.
If the Catalans intended to offer a top striker to the tactician, the Alvaro Morata track seems to have come to a standstill. At least until Juve find him a replacement. Much like the one leading to Edinson Cavani, who is expected to stay on Old Trafford’s side until the end of the season. And now, TNT Sports Brasil unveils a small bomb …
Chelsea alumnus
According to the Brazilian media, FC Barcelona is positioned on Oscar, the former Chelsea who is currently playing in Shanghai in China. The Brazilian international would replace his compatriot Philippe Coutinho, but the operation is not obvious, since the player is under contract until 2024. And in his current situation, Barça could only recruit him as part of a virtually free operation.
The 30-year-old’s experience is considered a very good asset by Barcelona officials, who has already been present in China for five years. Contacts have been made by Barça in recent days, and we should know more by the end of the week. A low-cost track that will surely be debated in Catalonia …
EXCLUSIVE! According to our investigation @marcelobechler, Barcelona looked for midfielder Oscar, currently at Shanghai SIPG, from China! Contact was made at the beginning of the year, but the Spanish team’s financial difficulties make negotiations difficult. ????❌ So, do you think it would be a good one? ???? pic.twitter.com/ngKrg4QgHd
