Following the relegation in the last eight of the Champions League, Barcelona were given a few days off when they will only meet Vasquez on Monday, the last in the Spanish table. The Catalans, who looked very good in a 1-1 draw at Paris Saint-Germain, will try to get their nerves on the weak rival in order to reduce gaps from Atletico Madrid at the top.
Meanwhile, in parallel with reports of a possible transfer of Leo Messi to PSG, there are rumors in Spain about the flea’s stay at Barça, under the old-new president Joan Laporta. According to Catalan newspapers, Barcelona are planning to offer Messi a new three-year contract, in which Laporta will present to the Flea his plans professionally and economically. In addition, the president will offer Messi to be the club’s ambassador.
At the same time, Argentina reports that Juera Messi, Leo’s father, will arrive in Barcelona on Monday to hear about the new offer. In Mundo Deportivo have released the “Plan for Messi” – which includes an attempt to seduce the star with the arrival of Arling Holland David Alaba, and the flea’s best friend – Con Aguero. As mentioned, Laporta has put Holland as the most important target this coming summer and will make every effort to get the Norwegian giant to land at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona are willing to give up quite a few players to collect the money needed for the Norwegian striker, whose arrival is estimated at 100 million euros. The players who are not in the plans are: Junior Pirpo, Filippa Coutinho, Antoine Griezmann, Martin Breitwitt, Neto, Samuel Omititi and Miralem Pjanic, who only arrived last summer. Except for Holland, all the other signings that will be made will be either for free, or for little money.
In addition in ‘Sport’ we noted that Ronald Koeman is expected to continue on the lines when the Dutch coach has won the trust of Laporta to take the new project forward. Beyond that, most fans also prefer to see Koeman get another chance at Camp Nou.
