One of the priority objectives of Barça In the last market it was the signing of a right back. Xavi It was very clear that this position had to be reinforced since it did not have a specialist in that position and with Dest It didn’t count at all. It was not something new because reinforcement for this demarcation was already sought in other windows. Throughout all this time many names have been considered, but in the end three were left on the table: Cancelo, Fresneda and Foyth.
The technician met with Deco to decide what signing they would make. It was not only the decision of who came, but also the club’s strategy regarding the right back. Two other names then entered the equation: Trilli and Hector Fort. They are both in the Barça Atlétic and the Sports Management He has confidence in both. They signed the first one this summer Deportivowhile the second is a product of The Masía. It was important not to block their path with a signing because they are two full-backs who can be very valid if they maintain their progression.
Cancelo: “It’s a dream come true”
This was the main reason for discarding Fresneda. He was a defender who was liked in Can Barça and in fact there were several meetings between the club and the player’s agents to see the possibility of his signing. He ex delValladolid He is 18 years old and signing him was a bet on the future in addition to a transfer payment. The Sports Management He considered that if a bet had to be made for the future it was better to trust those who were already in the house.
The discarding of Foyth It was basically economical. He Villarreal had referred to the clause and that was a lot of money for a Barcelona with big financial problems. They would be very fair to sign him and doing so would mean that other players would not come. Although this player was the favorite of Xaviin the end they agreed that they could not spend excessively on the signing of a full-back.
The three main reasons
And this is where the option fit João Cancelo. It was not the first market in which there was talk of its possible arrival, but this time it was real. On the one hand, he did not close the way to young people because the Portuguese is 29 years old. The club did not mortgage itself for the future because there is no purchase option in the agreement with the City. The player, on the other hand, was willing to give up money to come. And his quality was proven.
The first touches of Joao Félix and Cancelo: 17 touches of the head
Portuguese was the best option he had Barcelona in the market uniting all these conditions. That’s why they went for him and achieved a loan and squared him in the Financial Fair Play.
