Ronald Koeman has already found a replacement for Gerard Piqué and would pay a fortune for him

FC Barcelona needs a reinforcement in the defensive part of the team. Umtiti and Pique are on a really low level and in the last match against Osasuna, Clement Lenglet got injured. What would Roland Koeman decide? Apparently, he wants a new center-back, and one of the best in the world right now.

No, we are not talking about Virgil Van Dijk, but this is the player that Jürgen Klopp asked to replace the Dutch. We are talking about Dayot Upamecano. The French player from Leipzig is one of the most talented defenders and if Barcelona want him, they would have to pay a fortune.

Gerard Pique is 33 years old and Samuel Umtiti, 27. The problem is that both of them are on a really low level. Dayot Upamecano is 22 years old, he has a lot of future, but that makes him one of the most expensive players to buy. He is valued in $75 million dollars and Leipzig would ask for even more.

He was a key player on his team in the last Uefa Champoins League. Leipzig bought him from Salzburgo for less than $15 million dollars, but now they are asking almost $100 million dollars. Can FC Barcelona pay such an expensive player? They would have to if they want to have a chance of fighting the Champions.
