According to the Spanish press, an exchange involving Alexis Sanchez and Luuk de Jong is under consideration at FC Barcelona. An operation that should not see the light of day.

FC Barcelona is a monument to the drift. Eliminated from the Champions League from the group stage, the Catalan club is also behind in the league. Executives tried to breathe new life into it by recording the return of Xavi , FC Barcelona legend. Another former Blaugrana locker room was also repatriated. The 38-year-old Daniel Alves has signed up to the end of the season with the Catalan side with the ambition to save the club. “I came back to try to save Barca, whom we all love very much. It is clear that we are in a process, but we have to speed it up because we are at Barça and there is not much room for mistakes here, “said the Brazil international during his presentation last November. But according to the Spanish press, another former FC Barcelona could land in Catalonia during the next winter transfer window.

Sevilla FC is not aware of anything

This Wednesday evening, the Spanish daily Sport announced that the Alexis Sanchez case was open to FC Barcelona . Last November, the player's relatives revealed discussions with Spanish officials. “Xavi knows Alexis and knows he could fit perfectly into this project. Even people from Barcelona have already contacted the player's entourage to find out about his conditions, ”his entourage told Tercera. A case that has since progressed since the media evokes an agreement in principle between the Inter and the Catalan club. In financial difficulty, the Blaugrana team would have proposed an exchange between the Chilean international and Luuk de Jong , on loan from Sevilla FC to FC Barcelona until the end of the season. According to the media, the Andalusian club would be ready to give its approval to this operation. Information immediately denied by one of the leaders of Sevilla FC . “This is madness, an operation that we do not know anything about,” an official told FC Inter News.

A daring, but complicated operation

But even if Sevilla FC claims not to be aware of such an operation, discussions would have taken place between FC Barcelona and the 'Inter according to the information disclosed by Calciomercato.it. However, as the Italian media reported, this operation is unlikely to see the light of day. Indeed, Alexis Sanchez would be well in the sights of FC Barcelona, ​​ but would be far from being a priority. At the moment, Blaugrana officials favor the track leading to Ferran Torres (Manchester City) . Only if this fails, will the team step up to the Chile international. In addition, Sevilla FC will have to agree to cede Luuk de Jong to Inter which is far from being done despite the low playing time of the Dutch international in La Liga.
