Barça, attentive to the central market

With the uncertain future of Christensen and Araujo after the march of Iñigo Martínez, the club analyzes the market and some names would cover the lack of a born left -handed center

The central chapter is one in which more attention is being paid in recent times, especially after the march of Iñigo Martínez In August to Al-nassr Saudi

Hansi Flick has troops for the central axis as Pau Cubarsí, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia and even Gerart Martín. The latter has already been tested as a left -handed central despite being left lateral while Ericone of the wildcards of the squad, returned to the axis at the end of the duel before the Levant and start against the Ray After its grand finale on the right flank due to the injury of Jules Koundéanother natural option to be central as I played in Seville.

Now, unlike Eric Garciawhich is free in 2026 but is very well considered to extend its contract despite not having advanced in it, the scenario is somewhat more uncertain for the future with Christensen.
