The Spanish defender has a contract with Chelsea until the summer of 2022, which allows him to negotiate with any club from January if he does not renew earlier. According Mark, the azulgrana team wants to do with him to reinforce the right side without transfer cost.
FC Barcelona have Sergiño Dest, Sergi Roberto, Daniel Alves and Moussa Wagué as lanes on the right side. The American does not seem to have the confidence of Xavi Hernández, who in three games on the bench has allowed him to play only four minutes against Benfica.

The Catalan will have to undergo surgery to undergo surgery on the rectus femoris of the right thigh, which will take him out for about four months. The Brazilian will be able to be registered from January although he is already training and the Senegalese broke the patellar tendon and the cruciate ligament in his right knee about a year ago and is still recovering.

The intervention will be carried out by Dr. Lasse Lempainen, under the supervision of the Club’s medical services.

In this situation, Mark points out that César Azpilicueta could be a solution for this demarcation, given that Sergi Roberto also ends his contract in the summer of 2022, the same moment where the Pamplona man ends his relationship at Stamford Bridge. At the age of 32, he knows LaLiga from his time in Osasuna (2007-2010) and has reached the top with the achievement of the Champions League with Chelsea, with which knowing Spanish football and performing at the best on the continental are arguments enough to get hold of it.
The Navarrese can perform both on the right side and in a defense composed of three centrals, an option that Xavi Hernández opted for in his last two games, first with Ronald Araújo against Benfica and later with Eric García at Villarreal. He gave way to offensive troops like Yusuf Demir and Ezzalzouli Abdessamad “Ez Abde”.
FC Barcelona will have to assess what positions it should reinforce, but also what economic possibilities it has. Footballers who approach free agency or who may be loaned are the most feasible options for a club that will have a hard time recovering from the heritage of the previous board of directors and that can hardly compete with other clubs with a buoyant economy.
