Barcelona wil nieuwe middenvelder: ‘Zoals toen met Edgar Davids’

Barcelona hoopt zich in de aankomende transferperiode te kunnen versterken met een middenvelder. Dat heeft voorzitter Joan Laporta gezegd.

Barcelona presteert ondermaats en staat onder druk. Laporta geeft de absenties van Pedri en Frenkie de Jong daar de schuld van. ‘Twee spelers die ons controle aan de bal geven. Dit is voor mij een van de redenen geweest dat deze ploeg, die beter is dan die van vorig jaar, niet het niveau heeft dat we allemaal verwachten. Nu deze spelers zijn hersteld, zullen we sneller richting het beoogde niveau gaan’, zei Laporta tegen Mundo Deportivo.

De kans is groot dat Barcelona een speler aan zal trekken. ‘Als dat lukt in verband met financial fair play, is het de bedoeling iemand te halen die het verlies van Gavi (geblesseerd, red.) compenseert. Dan zouden we iemand tot het einde van het seizoen huren, zoals we dat destijds ook deden met Edgar Davids’, aldus Laporta, als verwijzing naar de transfer uit 2004, van Juventus naar Barcelona.

‘Er is ruimte. Ik denk dat we opties hebben door meerdere opties die in gang zijn gezet. Als die worden bevestigd, zijn er voor ons mogelijkheden om iets te doen’, voegde Laporta toe.
