FC Barcelona’s Brazilian targets this January- Part 1
On-loan Fluminese defender Marlon to join permanently in January
The Brazilian youngster has impressed at Barcelona B under coach Gerard Lopez. He even made an appearance for the senior side. This has compelled Barcelona to trigger the clause in his loan contract. He joined during the summer on loan with a cleverly negotiated clause in his contract. Barca can purchase him for €6 million any time during the whole term of his contract. Robert will trigger that clause in January. But the transfer fee is expected to go down as Fluminese owe Barca a considerable amount. According to Calciomercato, the Catalans have already informed Fluminese that they want to sign Marlon on a permanent deal. If the reports are to be believed, Marlon could become a Blaugrana in the winter transfer window.
