It has been two weeks since the transfer window has been opened still Barcelona has stayed quiet this year which is unusual for the La Liga side who has always been extremely active in the market
With the pre-season set to start soon, Catalans are close to signing Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen and would officially make the announcement this weekend. Both the players would become free agents on Friday hence the wait to officially sign them. But nonetheless, the duo would be available to play with the team for preseason. Christensen would be a new face in the centre-back department which did not impress much at the end of the last season. Xavi’s plans do not involve Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet and Gerard Pique’s fitness is also under question.
