FC Barcelona is preparing to carry out one of the most awaited moments by its fans after the end of the season 2021-2022 and that is the announcement and presentation of two new reinforcements for the next campaign. The person in charge of carrying out the announcement was President Joan Laporta. That is to say, the azulgranas will welcome the Danish Andreas Christensen and the Ivorian Franck Kessié.
It is important to highlight that both footballers will arrive with the letter of freedom, because they did not reach an agreement with their respective clubs to extend their contracts. Specifically, Christensen with Chelsea FC and Kessié with AC Milan.
“We will present Kessié on Wednesday and Christensen on Thursday”, were the words of Barça president Joan Laporta.
The impressive thing about all this is that both footballers decided to accept the proposal from FC Barcelona despite the fact that the sporting projects of his respective clubs are more than consolidated and also when they offered him a better record.
In the first instance, there is Christensen, who won the UEFA Champions League a couple of seasons ago with Chelsea FC and also, He is a fundamental player for German coach Thomas Tuchel.
The Ivorian, for his part, has just won Serie A with AC Milan and was a key player in the “Rossoneros” scuddetto after more than a decade without reigning in football Italian and more when he had a better offer than the one from FC Barcelona.
In short, the two internationals with their national teams will give an extra bonus to a club that is betting heavily on young players with a huge projection. In addition to being enshrined in European football.
Finally, Joan Laporta will announce his first two reinforcements for next season and everything indicates that they will not be the only ones, since he is working to bring Robert Lewandowski and the Brazilian Raphinha, without forgetting the French central defender Jules Koundé.
