Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona have not finished fighting. In addition to sporting results, the two European clubs are often linked on the transfer market, like Neymar, Xavi Simons, Ousmane Dembélé or more recently Lamine Yamal, who was announced as a priority for the Parisians. For the future too, PSG had inquired about bringing in a young South American nugget this winter, but this time, Barça seems to have got ahead of the Ile-de-France residents.
This is Allen Obando (17 years old). Presented as one of the greatest promises in South American football, this young Ecuadorian striker has already played 9 games with the SC Barcelona first team (1 goal, 2 assists). Also followed by AS Monaco, he was in the plans of the Rouge et Bleu, who have already made an offer: “it’s true for PSG. They are extremely interested (in Allen Obando), they made an offer that meets the club’s expectations, and it was a pretty aggressive offer. They even want Allen’s family, his father, his mother and the president of the club, to travel to negotiate.explained club president Antonio Alvarez last January.
The player’s club met Barça
But since then, things seem to have stagnated for Paris. And according to Sport, Barça are now finalizing the arrival of the South American football sensation. The Ecuadorian press explained that a delegation from Barcelona SC from Guayaquil went to Barcelona in recent days to meet the board of directors of the Catalan club, discover its facilities and finalize the possible signing of the player. The operation would be on track for the Blaugrana.
Antonio Álvarez recently assured that the exchanges “have progressed. These days we have been with José Luis Nogales and Carlos Obando, Allen’s father, watching live the match between Barça and Rayo Vallecano. Barça was looking for Allen several months ago. I spoke with Rafa Yuste, the sports vice-president, and Deco, the club’s sports director., he assured. Barça is therefore in the process of overtaking PSG for Allen Obando, a promising player already called up to his national team at the age of 17.
