The exit operation has already begun at Barça. Several names are on the exit ramp due to the need to generate income. Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, Christensen, or De Jong could leave if a good offer arrives.
The main objective is to balance accounts to be able to sign. Hansi Flick has been very clear with his requests upon arriving on the bench. He needs three key reinforcements: a winger, a versatile full-back, and one more center-back.
The German wants a deeper rotation to face the year with guarantees. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha need rest, and also the defense, more solidity. But to sign, first, they have to let go.
Cesc Fàbregas helps Barça with an unexpected sale
In that sense, unexpected help has arrived from Italy. Cesc Fàbregas, current coach of Como, has actively collaborated. His project has taken a step forward with an operation that also benefits Barça.
The former footballer has decided to activate a specific clause. It is a direct purchase worth six million euros. The objective is to strengthen the left wing with a profile he already knows well.
Since January, his new signing has been on loan at Como and has left good impressions. His performance has convinced Cesc to go for him. Now it is official, he says goodbye to Barça and will become the property of the Italian team.
Álex Valle says goodbye to Barça and stays at Como
The protagonist of the operation is none other than Álex Valle. The left-back says goodbye to Barça after his time in the youth academy. Cesc Fàbregas considers him essential for his new project in Serie A.
Álex Valle has shown character and adaptation in these months. He finished the season as an undisputed starter in the Italian defense. Como closed its return to the elite in tenth position, far from relegation.
Álex Valle was not in Hansi Flick's plans
Flick has other preferences for that position, like Gerard Martín. Therefore, the sale of Álex Valle doesn't pose a sporting problem.
Economically, Barça breathes with this operation. It is six million that relieve the pressure of financial Fair Play. Moreover, it should not be forgotten that Valle was coming from the reserve team, so everything is a gain.
Cesc Fàbregas's project continues to grow
With this addition, Cesc adds a reliable piece already integrated. His commitment to young and ambitious profiles is starting to bear fruit. The connection with Barça could continue to bear more fruit this summer.
Como wants to consolidate in Serie A and not fight to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Barça moves forward firmly toward its restructuring. Everyone wins with this well-thought-out move.
