Why Barcelona need to sign a defender
Barcelona’s pursuit to sign a defender might come to an end this season as they have made a bid on every defender who might suit their needs and is currently in the transfer market. These defenders include the likes of Thiago Silva,
David Luiz and Daniel Agger. All these three defenders have managed to make a mark in their respective teams and after faltering in their defensive duties last season, the Catalan giants want to sign one of these three players in order to bolster their squad.
Last season La Blaugrana suffered a lot, not only because Lionel Messi picked up an injury in the later stages of the season, but also because their club captain, Carles Puyol, and their secondary centre-back, Javier Mascherano,
both picked up an injury. With both these players out, Barcelona had to rely on their young prodigy, Mark Bartra, who is most definitely not a world class defender yet. Despite the fact that many predict that he might become a first-choice defender for Barcelona
one day, he is still not good enough to play against the likes of Bayern Munich, who were able to win a European treble last season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 showed why they need a defender when they were playing against the German champions during the UEFA Champions League semi-final last season. When both the teams met, Lionel Messi was out injured and had to play through
an injury, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 could not play for the first team. Barcelona lost the two-legged semi-final with the aggregate score of 7-0. This is the worst loss which they have experienced in the last 15 years.
However, now, with the summer transfer window open, Barcelona had to find a suitable conclusion to two things: a goal-scorer who they can rely on when Messi is not performing, and a defender who can replace Carles Puyol in the
future.
The first signing Barcelona made this season was of a striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 when he is out injured or not performing up to the mark. However, the Catalan giants still
need to find a centre-back and their pursuit for one might just come to an end as other players are also willing to play for them in the upcoming season.
PSG’s Thiago Silva has mentioned on numerous occasions that he wants to join a team like Barcelona. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 man and Danish captain, Daniel Agger, is also a player worth
investing in.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Barcelona are currently monitoring
his situation. All these three players will most definitely fit La Blaugrana’s style of play, considering the fact that they are all young with a lot of pace and Barcelona play a high line.
The Brazilian centre-backs, Thiago Silva and David Luiz, will both cost Barcelona a lot. This is the reason why La Blaugrana are currently trying to win Daniel Agger from Liverpool. The Danish star has wants to join Barcelona,
but the Reds are definitely going to make it hard for the Catalan giants to sign their star player.
