Ake and Disasi recommended to Barcelona; Barca will not act rashly

According to the latest report from Sport, Ake and Disasi have been recommended to Barcelona, while Barcelona will not act rashly for now.

Barcelona has taken some time to consider before deciding whether to strengthen its defense in the January transfer market, and the club has 20 days to deal with Christensen's long-term injury. 

They can use 80% of the Danish defender's salary to sign a new player and are studying whether it is necessary to take action, with multiple intermediaries and agents offering options such as Ake or Disasi.  In the next few days, opportunities from the Bundesliga may also arise. Both Flick and Deco have made it clear that they will only make signings if the player has the ability to help the team, can create competition in the starting lineup, and the financial terms are appropriate. 

Currently, they are unable to make summer investments in advance because the players they fancy cannot leave their current clubs, and they are also unable to create a "level playing field" for this strategic signing. 

Some centre-backs have been on the market for some time, and Ake is one of them, as he has limited playing time at Manchester City and hopes to have more opportunities to play as a regular in Koeman's national team for the World Cup. He can play as a left center-back and even as a full-back, so his versatility will be helpful. The main issue is that Manchester City hopes to include him in a certain purchase deal. Additionally, the center-back has other significant offers in the Premier League, making it difficult for now. 

Another recommended name is Disasi, who has been left out of the squad despite Chelsea paying 45 million euros for him three years ago due to the overcrowded situation among the club's centre-backs. Last season, he performed outstandingly during his loan spell at Aston Villa and hopes to get playing time to compete for a chance to participate in the World Cup. Milan has shown interest in this deal, but the player is determined to wait and see if there is an opportunity to join Barcelona.

Barcelona will not act rashly under any circumstances, as they believe that some interesting opportunities may arise in the final days of the transfer market. Therefore, they have not yet activated Christensen's injury management. Internally, the club has other options, such as directly moving Eric García to the center-back position and giving Bernal more playing opportunities in the midfield.

Additionally, Gavi is expected to recover from his injury by mid-February, which will add a player to the midfield and thus give Eric Garcia more freedom. Flick also hopes to analyze Araujo's condition, who will return to training on December 29 to prepare for the game.
