With the days moving by and Barcelona still in the midst of finalizing various operations that they are currently involved in or plan on closing, it seems matters are now to be taken to the next step.
The expected involvement of a particular super agent in the coming days in the case of various Barcelona players is something the Catalan club looks forward to, in order to make solid progress.
As per the most recent updates by SPORT, Barcelona higer-ups are set to have a meeting with Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes, who currently manages an elite crop of footballers all across Europe.
The club and agent are to sit down and discuss the various possibilities and solutions that they could opt for, given the complex nature of their financial situation and their sporting objectives.
First and foremost comes the problem of Ansu Fati for Jorge Mendes. The Spanish forward and La Masia jewel is one who has lost immense importance in this Barcelona side and despite strong performances near the end of the season, he remains very much a player that the club is willing to let go of.
As he remains adamant about staying at the club however, despite an offer from English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers still on the table, Barcelona now look towards Jorge Mendes to ensure an alternative or to convince the player that departing the Spanish side would be in his best interests.
Next is the possible conversation regarding midfielder Nico Gonzalez, who is currently on loan at Valencia but will be returning shortly to Barcelona. The agent wishes to understand the club’s position on his client so that a possible loan move to the interested La Liga outfit Real Betis can be materialized for the youngster.
Up next is the topic of arrivals as well. The potential addition and acquisition of Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves, currently contracted to Wolverhampton Wanderers, is one that FC Barcelona want to stay updated upon and continue negotiations over with the Portuguese agent.
Another potential arrival that the Catalan club hopes to discuss with Mendes is that of Manchester City star Bernardo Silva. However, the midfielder’s signing seems rather unlikely at the moment given that he has been offered a much more appealing and beneficial contract offer by French side Paris Saint-Germain, who believe him to be the ideal replacement for the departed Lionel Messi.
Lastly, the agent would also be expected to ask for updates regarding the renewals of his clients’ contracts.
These clients include the likes of Barcelona first team left-back Alejandro Balde as well as Barcelona wonder kid Lamine Yamal, with both players expected to renew with the side and it only being Barcelona’s complications with financial fair play that continue to hinder said renwals.
