Manchester United and Barcelona are likely to achieve a large-scale swap deal in the upcoming winter transfer market. Manchester United, which wants to reinforce its offense, proposed a swap deal to replace Jadon Sancho (23) and Hafinha (27) before the opening of the transfer market. Barcelona, which is in financial difficulty, is open to selling Hafinha if he has a high offer. 헤라카지노
Sport, a Spanish media outlet, reported on the 27th (Korea time), “A player’s departure could occur considering Barcelona’s financial difficulties. Hafinha is one of the players that Barcelona’s management will consider. The offer for him has arrived at the club in this winter’s transfer market,” adding, “Saudi Arabia is not a target of Hafinha’s consideration. The other is his return to the Premier League, where Manchester United showed interest in him by offering to trade Sancho.”
Rumors of a transfer of Hafinha continue ahead of the winter transfer market. Hafinha, who had a good performance at Barcelona last season, is facing a lot of difficulties this season. He led the attack on the right side by securing a key position at the beginning of the season, but failed to produce many offensive points, raising expectations. While leaving for a while due to a muscle injury in September, Ramin Yamal (16)’s skills grew and Hafinha’s position was threatened.
Hafinha spends less time per game than last season. Having played 58.4 minutes per game in the 2021-22 season, he played only 47.8 minutes per game this season. He regained his starting position in December and increased his playing time, but did not show the performance he expected. He has seen more and more scenes of forcefully dragging the ball, missed shooting points, and cut off the power of his offense.
Due to financial difficulties, Barcelona plans to sell players who can receive high transfer fees during the winter transfer market. The most likely target is Hafinha, who joined the team for a transfer fee of 60 million euros last season. Barcelona has set a high transfer fee and is ready to send Hafinha whenever an appropriate offer comes.
“Barcelona has not closed the door on the sale of Hafinha by betting a higher transfer fee than the one we delivered to Leeds United a year and a half ago. The sale price of Hafinha starts at 100 million euros,” Sport added. Contrary to Barcelona’s position, however, Hafinha has a strong will to stay with the team. He wants to fill the contract he signed with the club until 2027 and showed his affection for the team to the extent that he got a tattoo of last season’s league championship trophy during the break.
Although Hafinha wants to stay, Manchester United’s interest in recruiting him is also formidable. This season, Manchester United are struggling to resolve their attacks as their strikers have fallen into a slump as a group. Rasmus Hoyleun (20), Antony (23), Marcus Rashford (26) and Alejandro Garnacho (19) combined with only six goals. Sancho, one of the resources to release his attack, was cut off from the first team after he had a conflict with Erik ten Haach (53, Netherlands) over training in early September.
Manchester United, which is agonizing over Sancho’s future, has decided to use him as a swap deal card. In order to recruit Hafinha, who played an active part in the Premier League after playing for Leeds, he proposed to Barcelona. Spanish coach Chavi Hernandez (43), who is leading Barcelona, praised Sancho’s performance in the past and said he would like to recruit him if he is appointed as Barcelona’s coach.
Sancho is not only a player who is good at creating opportunities but also has the ability to point the finger of his attack. Chavi highly appreciated Sancho’s versatility. With the future of Hafinha and Sancho heating up ahead of the winter transfer market, attention is being paid to whether the two teams will achieve a shocking swap deal.
