Chiquitazo to Piqué: the cover that Valverde asks to reinforce the Barça defense

The central azulgrana already warned that the coach has a new signing to the rear

Gerard Piqué has got a very juicy tip: Ernesto Valverde has already located a cover to strengthen the defense of Barca. For the Barça coach, shoring up the center of the Barcelona side is one of the top priorities. That's why he asked the club last summer to sign Iñigo Martínez. An operation that, finally, did not come to fruition. The Colombian Yerry Mina, whose arrival is planned in principle for the next winter market, does not quite convince him. He prefers a footballer who already has experience in European football. And all indications are that he has already come across an unexpected a priori signing.

As indicated by the website calciomercato.com. The chosen one is an Inter Milan defender: Milan Skriniar. The Slovak, 22, came to the Neroazzurro  set  last summer from the Sampdoria in exchange for 23 million euros and has become one of the mainstays of the Lombard team throughout the current season. Therefore, it is not uncommon that his name is being linked not only to Barça, but also to other greats in Europe, including Cholo  Simeone's Atlético de Madrid  . He can play on both sides of the center of defense, but he is right-handed, which multiplies the options that he does not reach the Barça club just to accompany Piqué, but also to give him the relief.
