Barcelona’s Plan B – The players you want at Camp Nou

Although they have made efforts to repatriate Messi, Barcelona are still disappointed that the matter could not be resolved in time to complete the transfer.

The good news is that the League has adopted its viability plan and the money allocated to Messi will be redistributed to other transfers, writes Marca.

The first target is Inigo Martinez. The central defender currently plays for Barcelona and will soon sign a contract until 2025.

The second transfer expected by coach Xavi is a central midfielder to replace Sergio Busquets, who will be selected from a list that includes Zubimendi, Ruben Neves, Kimmich, Amrabat and Brozovic.

The club is also targeting a central midfielder and a left winger. Gundogan is strongly wanted for the first position, but although he has finished his contract with City, his salary exceeds the possibilities of Barcelona.

In second place, the management’s favorite is Yannick Carrasco of Altetico Madrid, a player who can be transferred for around €19 million.
