Barcelona continue to operate strongly in the transfer market, and after Danny Alves and Fran Torres joined the team in the winter transfer window, the Catalans are also thinking about summer. According to a report by Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, Cesar Aspliquata has concluded in principle in Xavi’s team and is expected to join for free next season.
The 32-year-old Chelsea captain plays as a right-back and can also function as a stopper. In Spain he was defined as an experienced player, including appearances for the La Rucha national team. “If everything goes well, Barça will sign him,” the Spanish media are sure. At the same time, it seems that the defender is the only player from Chelsea who is really in the sights of Barça, who will probably not go after Hakim Zeish and Timo Werner.
Meanwhile, esteemed journalist Fabrizio Romano has released new details surrounding the addition of Fran Torres. Pep Guardiola really wanted to keep the Spanish talent at Manchester City, and the player was the one who pushed out. Xavi was a key figure in the deal, when he called Torres several times. The Barça coach wanted him at the club, not Rahim Sterling or Zeish.
