Barca to swap Pjanic with high flying Serie A star...CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Barcelona has to control his next movements very well. The culés are not buoyant in terms of their economy and they need a knock-on effect in the form of a sale. As we know, Frenkie De Jong is his main asset, but other names are also being considered.
One of them is Miralem Pjanic which earns a fairly considerable salary and could be part of a possible exchange to make the signing of kalidou koulibaly asccording to Run for Sport.
Juventus Turin is also very interested in signing the Senegalese center-back, whose contract ends in 2023 and whose signing could be around 30-35 million euros. Kalidou Koulibaly is one of the top center-backs in international football and his seasons in the Naples.
This has been ratified, since the African has been growing year after year until entering the wish list of the most important teams. Now, Barcelona expects to be able to do with him, in spite of the competition of the vecchia Signora, and Pjanic could be the key.
Barça would not only be interested in this exchange due to the incorporation of Koulibaly, obviously, but also due to the departure of Miralem Pjanic, which is presumed difficult in terms of a club making its purchase and being willing to pay for its record.
That is why the possibility of the exchange is one of the best options that the Catalans have to take off their enormous salary and, incidentally, get some benefit in the price reduction of the Senegalese.
However, it will be Napoli who have the last word in this operation and will have to decide if it is profitable to have Pjanic in the squad in exchange for the departure of one of their best defenders.
What is certain is that Koulibaly is a more than possible exit in view of the circumstances and that Napoli will have to make a decision to get profitability if they do not want to risk seeing the African player come out the back door next year as free agent.
Liverpool agree deal to sign £45.2m Barca star
Liverpool will do anything to sign Gavi from the Catalan giants in the summer transfer window, according to Sport.
The reports claims that the Reds are willing to activate the £42.5 million release clause if they are able to convince the 17-year-old player to move to Anfield
The midfielder and his agent are aware that the La Liga side cannot match the terms offered by Liverpool, according to sport. But the Reds have offered a big contract that is worth more than the proposal put on the table by Barca.
However, Thiago will turn 32 next year, their captain Henderson will turn 32 next month and Milner will be 37 in January, and Liverpool need to strengthen their midfielde.
Furthemore, Gavi has made 6 appearances for Spain and also a regular starter for Barca and and can fit into Jurgen klopp.
