The coaching staff is ready for the European Super Cup, which will be played on Wednesday, August 13th in Uine, Italy against Tottenham, the Europa League champions and Premier League team.
The team will likely have undergone subtle adjustments by then, depending on the transfer arrangements of thepos-Luis Enrique duo. The end of the World Cup means that the players are on summer vacation, but there is one person who has no intention of taking a and is about to enter his favorite transfer window: Luis Campos.
The Portuguese, a passionate advocate of shrewd transfer deals and the chief architect of this European champion, has been scouring the market for the right players for weeks and has made the signing of a central defender his top priority.
The Ukrainian player, Ilya Zarnyi, remains a target, but Bournemouth stands firm, demanding a price of 70 million euros for the player.
The next few days will be favorable the team to make progress in terms of reducing the squad size, as Luis Enrique does not expect any loans (Skriniar, Moukila, Soler Asensio, Kolo Muani, etc.).
As for Skriniar and Asensio, who are in negotiations with Fenerbahce, transfer agreements are yet to be reached.
Gabriel Moscado, who has never featured in the Club World Cup, will leave on loan, with Real Betis Braga having expressed interest in him.
In addition, there are some players with fewer appearances (Hernandez, Bellard, Lee Kang-in, Ramos,.), some of whom may be interested in leaving. As for Lucas Bellard, the club and its team insist that he has not actively requested a departure.
Thenarumma transfer issue remains thorny, as he has yet to renew his contract. While we wait for a more definitive answer, the challenge lies in how to revitalize team without disturbing the harmony established during this season and the Club World Cup.
