It looks like a busy August is coming at Barça. The Blaugrana club still needs to make starts to be able to incorporate a couple more players and after the tour of the United States events can precipitate. Barça is betting on a line start, although it will be difficult to achieve the objective and Aston Villa continues to push on the offensive side to get Ferrán Torres on board. The proposal is insufficient and, for now, the footballer has no intention of leaving.
Aston Villa made a first attempt at the beginning of the market, but in the end no negotiations were opened. The main problem, in addition to the footballer’s refusal, was the player’s salary, which is excessive for the Birmingham club. Now they would be in a position to make an effort and try for the Blaugrana attacker to become one of their franchise players. Unai Emery endorses him although he is clear that the operation is extremely complicated.
All the clubs expect strong movements in the next week. Harry Kane can leave Tottenham, Mbappé could end up at Madrid and United are in very advanced negotiations for Hojlund. There are many teams looking for forwards and there will be money in the market. Barça, at the beginning of the summer, hoped to place Ansu Fati and Ferrán Torres, but the former refused to go to Wolverhampton and his folder is closed while Ferrán wants to try to convince Xavi to continue as second striker.
Barça has not closed the door on Aston Villa, although it is the English club that must convince the footballer, something that has not happened so far. The Blaugrana club, for now, has not pressed for departures and everything will depend on what happens in the next few days, although the departure of Lenglet and Kessié could be worth it if the two footballers are transferred. They are trying to balance all the numbers and Ferrán, in the end, could have a place in the squad.
In any case, Barça has absolutely everything paralyzed until Monday due to the famous exit clause of Ousmane Dembélé. If the Frenchman does not apply it, as it seems and it stays, the club will already have more free rein to push through the exits. If Dembélé left, something that is not contemplated in the sports plans, no one would move from above.
