Guardiola begins to close the door

The market is open, but is very complicated. All transfers are very expensive and there is an option that no reinforcements. The club is rich but not as much as others. - Pep Guardiola.

It seems that the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be the only blockbuster of the Catalans. In Camp Nou have signed very soon this summer. Besides Swedish, have signed the Maxwell side, from the Inter; Keirrison striker, Palmeiras will play on loan next season and has returned to center Henrique, who played for Bayer Leverkusen. And Stop it count.

Only two names sound firmly on the agenda of Barcelona: the central Dmytro Chygrynskiy and midfielder Javier Mascherano. The signing of the Russian defense seems entirely ruled out, since he played for Shakhtar in the Champions League preview, making it unfit to participate in this tournament with another team. On Mascherano, the Argentine is priced at 50 million euros, a figure that hardly pay the Blaugrana (although, in my opinion, the player is worth it). Liverpool will not leave one of the best midfielders in the world so easily, so the option to move to Barcelona is diluted.

It seems that the European champions will play virtually the same template. I consider likely to fall a couple of mid-level signings, thinking more on the bench. Without Chygrynskiy, and Milito still in cotton, a center is not bad. In the containment could also anyone since Yaya Toure will be away from campus during the African Nations Cup. Guardiola begins to close the door but could still sneak in an unexpected Can Barca.
