The signing that will close Barça with the sale of Dembélé (and is not Griezmann)

The azulgrana entity has in its sights the arrival of a prominent footballer who would be financed through the sale of French

Barça is very clear: the best thing to do with Ousmane Dembélé  is to close his transfer next summer. 

In public, no member of the board of directors chaired by Josep Maria Bartomeu will admit it, 

but the truth is that the large investment made to sign the French, for whom they will pay up to 140 million euros , has not given the result that Was expected. 

The idea is to sell it and bring a very specific player: Marcos Alonso .

The Chelsea midfielder made a very good impression on Barça's technical services during the round of 16 tie in the Champions League, in which Ernesto Valverde's side met Italian Antonio Conte's team . 

Backing the back is an objective that has been in the minds of the Barça players for a long timeand the signing of Marcos Alonso would be an excellent way to achieve this goal. 

And something else.

Marcos Alonso , in addition, could perfectly take over from a player as irreplaceable in the barcelonistas schemes as it is Sergio Busquets in the double pivot position. 

The Croatian Ivan Rakitic has been chosen by Ernesto Valverde to carry out these functions in the absence of Badia, but the signing of the Chelsea player would allow the former Sevilla player to act in positions in which he feels much more comfortable on the ground. game.
