Who Could Replace Arda?
Replacing Turan is not as difficult as Rakitic, because Turan is not a regular starter. However, some things could move around so that it can be easy to replace the Turkish midfielder.
- Rafinha: The versatile player can be a replacement for both. Rafinha is more than capable of taking on Arda’s role as the fourth forward, ready to come off the bench to provide a spark. It would be more natural for him than replacing Rakitic, and costs no money.
- Munir: The former starlet stalled a bit in his development, and is now on-loan at Valencia. But, still under Barcelona contract, and just 21, Munir can grow into the role of auxiliary forward. And, again, unless Barcelona cut his loan short, it likely would cost zero.
