"Find a house in Barcelona". Messi knows it. Coutinho confirms it (or the surprise signing has a date)

The Barça club finalizes the details of the first incorporation of the summer

After knowing the decision of AntoineGriezmann to stay at Atlético de Madrid , FC Barcelona has decided to allocate a good part of its budget to reinforce the center of the field.

The signing of the French responded more to a market opportunity than to a real need of the Blaugrana squad.That is why, now that Andrés Iniesta has been confirmed out , Josep MªBartomeu and his team bet on giving more packaging to the media.

The surprise signing of Barça

And there is a player who already has everything done with the club. It is none other than Frenkie de Jong . The Dutch midfielder is one of the players who has been on the Barça agenda for a long time , but now the club wants to take one more step and leave it all closed this week.

With the 'ok' of Ernesto Valverde , the club is going to accelerate these days to leave his arrival for sentencing.Something that both Leo Messi and Philippe Coutinho know well. In fact, the phrase " look for a house in Barcelona " already circulates around the club.

As they point from within, the figure of his signing would be around 30 million euros, a price more than acceptable taking into account the age (21 years) and the potential of theAjax .

A center of the field full of talent

Valverde's idea is to populate his media with great talent. Bearing in mind that the Basque will bet to play with a 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1 , he needs to have many cracks in midfield.

Together with Busquets , Rakitic ,Coutinho and Denis Suárez , the Txingurri wants to have alternatives.Apart from De Jong , the names of Pjanic and Eriksen are also on the agenda, although their price would be much more exorbitant.

In the Camp Nou they know that they need a natural replacement forBusquets and De Jong is the chosen one. The player has already given the 'ok' to his representative for the operation to take place. If everything goes according to the Barça expects, in a few days his signing will be confirmed.
