According to information from

Fichajes

The Catalan formation, which seeks to strengthen its workforce at a lower cost, could go on the offensive as early as January ... or find an agreement with the player for the month of July. But the Blaugrana are not the only ones on the file. The

Daily Mail

30-year-old Alexandre Lacazette is going through difficult times in London, where his playing time is very limited.

For the moment, the Dutch technician retains the confidence of his leaders. “Koeman has our support. There is another game on Sunday and we are with him. He is our trainer. We are in a new cycle and we have players with a lot of future and a lot of quality. They are the future of the club, ”said Ramon Planes, Blaugrana's sporting director, in an attempt to calm things down. The next meetings could, however, be decisive for the future of the former Netherlands coach.Several names are circulating to take his suite, such as those of Erik ten Hag, Roberto Martinez - who denied contacts with Le Figaro - and Thierry Henry.
