12 Million
Report: 
FC Barcelona have once again taken advantage of one of their smart buy-back clauses!
They have re-signed Spanish wizard Gerard Deulofeu from Everton and they too
have received double the value they paid for him 2 seasons ago. This time
around, Deulofeu comes as a much more mature player having gained plenty of
first team experience in Europe’s elite leagues.
Career
Statistics: 
- Previously was loaned to Everton in 2013/14
- He managed 29 first team appearances, scoring 4 goals and assisting 5 times ✅
- Inconsistent performances restricted him to game time ✅
- Everton opted from making the deal permanent ✅
- Loaned to La Liga side Sevilla
- Made 28 appearances with 3 goals and 10 assists ✅
- Everton signed him permanently in 2015/16
- Proven to be a valuable asset for the club ✅

This
last stint may have prompted Barcelona to finally make the move to re-sign him
Deulofeu’s dribbling ability: 
On his day, Deulofeu
is one of the best dribblers in the world. He is a right footed player who
primarily plays on the Right wing. He adds a lot of pace and trickery to his
attack. This even prompts him to take on the opposition and confuses them immensely.
That’s the reason; he has been the assist king with all three clubs moving into
double figures.
Selfish Play: 
Going for glory! This one quality has
shown a negative impact on Deulofeu’s play. From the right wing, he tries to
strike on goal from a near impossible angle. Instead of passing, he shoots
which ultimately costs the whole game. This breaks his consistent run of games
and ultimately leads him warming the bench. It is bound to happen once again
this season but it may not cost the entire game. If he improves and passes
rather than shoot, it could turn him into a quality winger for the future.
Breaking the M-S-N Partnership: 
At this moment, it
would be strange to say that it will happen right away next season. But
Deulofeu’s arrival has surely increased competition for the Right Wing role. He
could frequently get games for Barcelona if the formation changes to a 4-2-3-1.
However, it would be difficult to see Deulofeu become a first team regular this
upcoming season.

All the best to him and his career with his club!!!

Report:
On 14th June 2017, Barcelona permanently
signed Centre Back Marlon Santos for a €5 Million Fee. Having impressed on loan for the
Barcelona B Team, the club gave him a first team debut last season and includes
him in their plan for this season. Marlon will replace the now departed Jeremy
Mathieu.
Marlon caught Barcelona’s attention having
impressed for Brazilian side Fluminense. He made 44 appearances as a centre
back. The loan move to the Catalans saw him make an impressive 27 appearances
for the Barcelona B Team helping them win promotion. This impressive run even
saw him make 2 starts in the La Liga and one substitute Champions League

on his mind. He will have to be prepared physically and mentally. His valuable contributions
will help the club in attaining their objectives for this season.
All the best to him and future with the club!!!
