UOne of the positions that Barcelona is clear about reinforce for next summer is the one on the right side. In fact, in the last winter market, an attempt was made to get Meunier on loan until June, but the operation could not be carried out. The club, however, had been pulling strings for some time in order to strengthen that position in the summer. There are two names that stand out above the rest: Azpilicueta and Mazraoui. The two finish their contract next summer.
The first option is Azpilicueta. Barcelona has already spoken with the player who would be delighted to join the Camp Nou next season. Although there is nothing signed, the club has the approval of the footballer. If it were for both parties, the agreement could already be signed because the defender is free to negotiate his future with any club.
The Chelsea Block
However, there is a problem that puts a brake on the operation. The Chelseawho has been trying for a long time to get his captain to renew his contract, has a unilateral renewal option for two more seasons. If the English club wants, they can exercise it and the footballer will continue at Stamford Bridge. That is what the contract says and the club has the right to execute the agreement.
pending interview
For this reason, the footballer has to talk to the leaders of his current club, he is currently playing in the Club World Cup and is qualified for the final, to see how they can unblock this situation. Azpilicueta has great respect for the English club that has given him the captain’s armband, something that is not trivial in the Premier.
great versatility
However, on the other hand, he would like to stop at the Camp Nou and be part of the new project that the azulgrana club is working on. And the Sports Directorate which considers him a very interesting player for his experience, physical power and versatility. Although his natural position is right back, he can also act as a center back or left back.
Opcin Mazraoui
If finally an agreement cannot be reached, the next one on the list is Mazraoui. The Ajax side is also free and in this case there is no clause that prevents his arrival. The two could even arrive with Azpilicueta, but then the issue of casualties would be decisive because there are already two right-backs as they are Dest and Dani Alves.
