DBasia.news – FC Barcelona are looking for the new forward this winter. The striker would be the option of Luis Suarez and fills the position left by Munir El Haddadi because he left to Sevilla.
“The club want a low-cost option to complete the squad,” said the article in Sport-English. With that criteria, Odion Ighalo is the option for Barcelona.
First, Ighalo is familiar to Spanish football because he played for Granada in two periods (2009/2010 and 2011-2014). Secondly, Iglaho has the experience of playing in Europe in his 29.
Lastly, the Nigerian player is quite affordable, 9-15 million euro. Iglaho also got many offers returning to Europe. He is currently supporting the Chinese club, Changchun Yatai.
Barce would use the same scheme when they lent Jeison Murillo from Valencia on him. The possibility of permanent contract exists if the former Watford player could impress Ernesto Valverde.
It’s not easy to find the right forward who is willing to be the option of Suarez. Barca need him so El Pistolero could take a break in certain matches.
