Cardoso Varela (loaned to Dinamo)

[serghei]

To sum it up, there's a very small risk of losing money on a player like Fofana if we sign him. Very little. At worst, we break even, at best we secure a long term option for our left wing. Or we can wait so for example Dortmund get him, and we will increase the risk of financial loss if we start to get interested after he shows a good level at Dortmund.

The best time to make these moves is when you have a player like Raphinha having 60something goal contributions this season on LW.

Barca doing business with Dinamo sounds great. Olmo developed great here. Faye looked promising.
We could have had Modric, Guardiol first dibs in hindsight.
Our youth teams are regularly among the best in Europe so no worries about developing.

 

[Co0ter]

We can't compete with clubs like Dortmund and Ajax with talents who are in the 5-15M category, it is that simple. This has been the case since the Davinso Sanchez rumours.

Those clubs can bring players with clear plan and direction to the first team, Barca first team is just way too early and their B team is far too low.

You want to compete with those, we better buy a farm club in Eredeviese or Portuguese league.

Not sure why we haven't bought a farm club yet to be honest. Buying a team in either of those leagues or even France/Belgium couldnt cost too much.

Just another Ivan Cavaleiro?

CARDOSO VARELA): Andy Bara went to talk final details regarding Joan Garcia, after which talks shifted regarding Cardoso Varela, the 16 year old Portuguese LW from Dinamo Zagreb. The idea was for him to come to Barça Atlètic, but after its relegation may cause him to stay one more year at Dinamo. The transfer could expectedly cost around € 5 million fixed with € 20 million in variables. Via:

So similar deal to Pedri. If he turns out half as good then money well spent but I'm still affraid we could have some legal troubles with this transfer in future.

Because we can't just buy clubs.

 

[DonAK]

Hopefully he gets enough playing time for Dinamo this one year he will be there.

 

[FCBarca]

Cuidado

 

[draconifire]

So its confirmed we are getting him in 2026?

 

[Messi983]

Nope. I doubt it will be officially confirmed before next year anyway.

 

[MonteCuler]

There's a lot of talk about this signing. When will he actually play for us?

 

[Messi983]

Probably never. Will be loaned to Betis then sold to Palmeiras.

 

[draconifire]

Nope. I doubt it will be officially confirmed before next year anyway.

The thread title got me confused. lol

We've got a lot of Croatians here, how are the chances Varela starts regularly for Dinamo at LW?

We will see. Dinamo now has only Hodzha on that position which is sub option, bacause Pjaca got contract terminated.
Dinamo wants to bring Gabriel Vidovic so doubt there is a lot of chances he will play.
