FC Barcelona believes it has the midfield more than covered for the coming years, but continues to analyze the different options the market might offer. The intention is to be able to sign if a low-cost opportunity arises, and it seems that in Brazil, the ideal partner for Marc Casadó has been found. We're talking about Breno Bidon, a midfielder from Corinthians.
SPORT has discovered that Breno Bidon "positions himself as the most feasible option" in Brazil for FC Barcelona. A little less than a year ago, club scouts watched the final of the Copinha live, where the midfielder was present. The reports on him are "very good," highlighting his technique and good vision of the game, something highly valued at Barça.
If Bidon could join Barça, the plan is clear: sign him for the 'B' team, with options to move up to the first team. He's valued at about 10 million euros, potentially being a really cheap transfer that could end up thriving in the first team. He's of legal age, so he could make the leap to Europe immediately if an agreement is reached with Corinthians, where his contract expires in 2028.
He's not considered a priority reinforcement, although it's true that Breno Bidon is very much liked and convincing. In his position, there's already Marc Casadó, while for the future, the injured Bernal is considered. Currently, there's absolute calm at Barça, which is analyzing the pros and cons of this possible operation.
Breno Bidon: Deco Analyzes the Brazilian Market
Deco is clear about the plan while he's in charge of Barça's sports management. Except for the big stars, what he wants to find are young players in markets where they can be acquired at a good price. Breno Bidon, from Corinthians, is an example. He's liked and convincing, although the only drawback is the lack of need to reinforce the pivot position.
It's not just Breno Bidon being followed. For some time, Deco has been closely monitoring the market in South American countries, such as Argentina or Brazil. A position that needs reinforcement is the left-back, where he has some names on the table for the future. This wouldn't be the case for Bidon, who would come to complement Marc Casadó in the midfield.
