The defending Spanish champion saw a particularly eventful start of the transfer window, mainly due to the Nico Williams file, which fascinates the crowds across the country. Between war declarations interposed with the management of Athletic and a Javier Tebas which also gets involved, this file has everything from the long Telenovela Mercato that have our Iberian neighbors. Even if, for the moment, the trend is rather favorable to FC Barcelona and everyone seems convinced that, sooner or later, the Basque winger will put on the Blaugrana tunic.
And another dossier, less media but even more surprising and mysterious, also shakes the Barcelona news. Indeed, last week, several Spanish and Brazilian publications claimed that Barça was close to enlist a certain Zé Lucas, a 17 -year -old Brazilian midfielder playing in Recife. A little surprising information from nowhere, but deemed more or less credible by journalists and fans, since we know that the Brazilian market is one of the favorite hunting fields of Barça, where the sports director Deco has a lot of network and relations. An operation similar to that of Vitor Roque for example.
Barça never wanted to recruit it
Some media even said that the file was very close to being completed … for the greatest surprise of FC Barcelona. As Sport indicates, Barça has never intended to recruit the so -called Zé Lucas. Barça’s management knows the player, which she notably saw during the last American Copa U17, but never considered her an interesting player for the club, and never had the slightest intention to recruit him. In addition, that its price would be substantial – around 15 million euros – and that Barça already has people in this position with the A and the youth teams.
As indicated Sportit is especially the direction of Recife which tries to force the hand of Barça. Yuri Romão, club president, had managed to get an appointment with Deco to try to sell him the player. It was even Barça that had financed the trip of the Brazilian delegation to Catalonia. The Brazilian club needs money and tries to refurge its midfielder, but Barça politely said no. The rumors concerning an advanced transfer therefore come clear from the Recife clan, which will have to find a new potential point of fall in Zé Lucas.
