Vaverde removes from his blacklist a player designated by Messi at Barça

The Barça coach has decided to give another opportunity to a player who does not have the approval of the Argentine

Ernesto Valverde has decided to remove from his blacklist a player Leo Messi has not hesitated to point his finger at for a long time: Thomas Vermaelen. In this case, it is not just about breaking a spear in favor of his good friend Javier Mascherano, so he can have minutes of play and arrive in good shape in the next World Cup in Russia, but also for the simple fact that, from his point of view, the Belgian does not have enough quality to defend the Barca elastic. His physical fragility, which has led him to chain prolonged periods of low, has shown this lack of minimum level required to play in a team like the Barcelona.

Valverde, however, has opted to keep him in the team. This is what the newspaper Mundo Deportivo has assured  . Although it has been speculating in recent weeks with the most likely Belgian march in the next winter market, along with other discards of the coach, such as Arda Turan or Paco Alcácer, the truth is that the current coach of Barça he does not finish convincing him the incorporation of a soccer player like the Colombian Yerry Mina for the center of the rear. For this reason, the arrival of the player, which had to occur precisely as soon as the next transfer period opens, is not completely clear at this time. Something that, for its part, has led the Palmeiras player to openly ask for explanations about his situation.
