Barcelona to sacrifice their defender to sign one of the best Premier League defender’s
Barcelona show their defender the door for one of the best Premier League defender
If Quique Setien is to continue as the manager next season of Barcelona against all odds then the Cantabrian has made it clear that his priority is the defence. However, Setien’s demands will only be fulfilled based on tonight’s performance against Napoli at the Camp Nou.

A half-hearted performance at Naples saw the Catalans finish the game by a scoreline of one all with a crucial away goal, however, Napoli’s attack is a certain threat that must be contained at the Camp Nou for Barca to progress to the quarter-finals and hopefully reach the summit of Europe.
It has been a far too long wait for many fans since the thumping victory in Berlin against Juventus in 2015. This is the best shot that Barca has at winning their sixth Champions League title that would then put them on par with Klopp’s Liverpool and one place below AC Milan who have seven titles.
The defence has been a serious issue for the last few years as Samuel Umtiti has no longer been the same player he once was and the club has been overly dependent on Clement Lenglet and Gerard Pique.
Quique Setien believes that if the Catalan club is to succeed in the 2020/21 season, the focus should be on signing a young defender that could potentially replaced Pique in the long run.
Reports now state that Barcelona is willing to show the door to one of their talented defenders to sign one of the best young defenders in European football.
