Amadou Onana He is one of the midfielders that, on pure and simple technical analysis, FC Barcelona liked the most. It happens that the Barça club has its squad planning dependent on the famous financial ‘fair play’ officially estimated by LaLiga. The optimistic predictions made by the president of the employers’ association Javier Tebas in this regard recently will have no real effect until the numbers are put in black on white. So in a general transfer market so far around the world dominated by caution, Aston Villa’s move to land Everton’s 22-year-old Belgian midfielder is a major development. Liverpool Echoa reference medium on the affairs of the two big clubs in the city, stressed that the elimination of Belgium in the round of 16 of the Euro Cup, on July 1, accelerated the transfer process of Onana, where some conditions are concentrated. which resulted in a release in this summer’s window.
First of all, the ideal of a footballer of being at a club that has fought for important goals, which also echoes the interest from Barça that has gradually faded due to the hierarchy of goals and the pressure from Premier League clubs who value the opportunity to lure Onana, especially Arsenal, but also Newcastle and Manchester United, according to the British press. Finally, until it becomes official although it is widely accepted, it will be Aston Villa who will fork out the wallet to sign Onana, looking to strengthen a squad that will play in the Champions League this season. Medical examinations and the signing of the contract are still pending, in principle until 2029.
Then there is Everton’s own sporting standards, a club that in its ranking of the most valued players clearly has Jarrad Brainthwaite, a 22-year-old English centre, ahead of Onana himself. So, when it comes to sales, Onana is ahead of Brainthwaite. In that sense, the Premier League calendar for the month of April is very symptomatic, because to maintain permanence, coach Sean Dyche linked three major victories in six days against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Brentford in the starting lineup where he never Onana.
Business wise, to Everton’s director of football Kevin Thelwell is also interested in being able to settle some numbers sooner rather than later in order to comply with spending rules and thus not fear possible fees from the Premier League.
Barça, at the moment focused on their options to sign Athletic winger Nico Williams but still at the expense of information from LaLiga. He needs to look at other names to strengthen the midfield. Mikel Merino, a 28-year-old Spanish international midfielder for Real Sociedad with a contract that runs until 2025, is on the list. But, again, everything is on standby as long as fair play remains a hypothesis.
