Posted on January 3, 2022 at 5.30 p.m. by AC Xavi seems to have big needs at FC Barcelona, with in particular the possible arrival of Alvaro Morata at the start of the winter transfer window … but the Paris Saint- Germain seems to be putting obstacles in the way. We thought FC Barcelona was in bad shape, but Joan Laporta assures the opposite! During the presentation of Ferran Torres, recruited for nearly 55M € to Manchester City, the president of Barça wanted to send a message to the football world. “We are still a benchmark in the football market. And I believe everyone can prepare because we're back. With the desire to do very well ”declared Laporta . “The transfer of Ferran Torres is proof of that, I see it that way. It is a very clear indicator that the club continues to be a benchmark ”. During this press conference he notably mentioned the name of Erling Haaland, whose transfer should panic the market this summer, but a new reinforcement could very quickly arrive with Alvaro Morata. To believe it Spanish and Italian press, the striker loaned by Atlético de Madrid to Juventus would have a total agreement with FC Barcelona. This Monday, La Gazzetta dello Sport, however, showered the ardor of Barcelona. According to the information of the daily transalpine, there would have been very extensive discussions between Juventus and FC Barcelona , but they are currently frozen. In Turin we would indeed have clearly explained wanting to recruit a replacement before deciding anything for Alvaro Morata. The latter is currently on loan from Atlético de Madrid and if Juventus spent € 10m this summer to postpone the deadline to next June, she would likely have no intention of exercising the € 35m call option in her contract. To replace him at the end of his loan, the profiles of Gianluca Scamacca and Dušan Vlahović would be studied, which are however untouchable in this winter transfer window. This is where Mauro Icardi comes in, who seems to be the centerpiece of this whole operation. As explained in recent days by Tuttosport and Sky Sport Italia, La Gazzetta dello Sport ensures that the Paris Saint-Germain striker is currently the priority of Juventus. D ' after the daily information, Massimiliano Allegri has always been a big fan of Icardi and he would have asked for his recruitment during this winter transfer window. Leonardo does not seem to make things easier, however. Also according to La Gazzetta, the sporting director of PSG would have opened the door to a departure of Icardi , but would have demanded from Juventus that it is immediately transferred, before finally falling back on a loan with a compulsory purchase option. Impossible for the Bianconeri leaders, who would have no intention of making a long-term commitment with a player considered a little too old, but above all not really reassuring in recent years.
