They believe they are the best club, the lesson from Real Madrid to Barcelona paralyzes the world

FC Barcelona can close the year with a big smile on its face. The thing is that beyond the sporting ups and downs that Xavi Hernández's team has, the transfer market can give news to the Blaugrana team. While Real Madrid rejoices with the strong investment for Endrick, Joan Laporta goes for the great jewel of South American football by showing interest in the services of Argentine Claudio Echeverri.

Endrick has been the long-term investment that Real Madrid has made this year. In a total of different concepts and variables, the merengue team will pay 72 million for the Brazilian forward if he reaches all the proposed objectives. On the opposite side, FC Barcelona can do a much cheaper deal for a player with endless talent.

It was Claudio Echeverri himself who was in charge of confirming that he is not going to renew his contract with River Plate. The statements were made after the Argentine team will remain local champion by beating Rosario Central. Asked about this by a journalist, the skilled attacking midfielder stated that he wants to stay and enjoy the remainder of his contract but that he has no intention of renewing it.

If the non-renewal of Claudio Echeverri at River Plate is finally confirmed, FC Barcelona could get it without paying a single euro for the transfer. In that scenario, the club would only have to face the expenses of his contract, which would not mean a large outlay of money in the case of a player who can bring big lines in the future.
