FC Barcelona finally upset its plans. Several months ago now, after a defeat against Villarreal (3-5), Xavi Hernandez announced his departure from Barça. But following several months of hesitation and discussions with his management and after the disappointing week marked by the elimination in C1 and the defeat in the Clasico (3-2), Xavi changed his mind by announcing that he ultimately remained at the head of the club. A decision marked by the promise of Deco and Joan Laporta to offer him a big transfer window this summer.
The positions to be reinforced have already been targeted and Xavi is expecting reinforcement in midfield, but also a left winger and a left defender for the next transfer window. One of the names on the table to strengthen the defensive midfielder position is that of Guido Rodríguez, from Real Betis. The Blaugrana club has already worked on his signing and according to Sportthere has already been a very positive meeting between the player’s entourage and FC Barcelona in recent days.
The arrival of Guido Rodriguez will cause a departure
Former target of Olympique Lyonnais during the last summer transfer window, Guido Rodriguez (30 years old) would be a perfect recruit for FC Barcelona, since the Argentinian will be free from any contract at the end of the season. The latest discussions would have been very positive and the maintenance of Xavi on the Barça bench would be a favorable factor in the conclusion of the agreement, while the Argentinian has other proposals, particularly from Saudi Arabia.
If the signing of the 30-year-old midfielder were to be definitively completed, this would allow Barça to be able to part ways with Oriol Romeu, who, barring any surprises, will leave the club. The Blaugrana club would like to offer him a two-season contract plus an optional third in order to prepare for the short term and would also dream of offering themselves another world-class midfielder in order to prepare for the future. A real project is taking shape in Catalonia this summer.
