Juanfran Moreno

The Spaniard will be a gamble for Robert Fernandez to take. Juanfran has had a lot of ups and downs in his career. A major down and not making it to the Watford starting eleven even once after joining. But he has turned his career upside down after joining Deportivo La Coruna. His contribution to his team’s relegation battle is tremendous.

Juanfran might turn into a late bloomer at Barcelona or he may be the next Douglas. But his traits will be good for the team if he plays at his full potential. He is a hard worker, contributing both to attack and defense with a good cross. But he is certainly not a safe bet.

According to Calciomercato, his release clause is around €8.2 million, which is affordable. Whether Lucho will want Juanfran in his squad or not remains to be seen.
