- A video of the new signings juggling the ball in style recently emerged
Barcelona fans can indeed be excited following the sumptuous transfer business carried out by the club in the just concluded transfer window.
In the midst of the club’s ailing finances and piling debt, the Blaugrana were able to secure the signatures of midfielder Oriol Romeu, former Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan, defender Inigo Martinez and Portuguese duo, Joao Felix and long-time target Joao Cancelo, all for a fee of ₤3.75 million.
Amidst the widespread excitement and fervour generated by the remarkable financial manoeuvres executed by President Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco during the summer transfer window, a video of their newly acquired players warming up has recently surfaced, further igniting the anticipation among fans.
Felix, Cancelo warm up video emerges
Ahead of Barcelona’s game away at Osasuna, Felix was captured in a video juggling the ball and in some style with Portuguese compatriot Cancelo alongside Brazilian Raphinha and Ferran Torres.
The video shared on Twitter by Barcelona’s official account has garnered loads of reactions from fans and admirers alike, with many visibly excited by the show of talent on display in the video.
The Portuguese duo would subsequently go on to make their debut in their hard-fought win against the Pamplona side, a fixture marred by a late and dodgy refereeing decision, as reported by Marca.
Barcelona fans will have to wait till after the international window, however, to see their new signings dazzle at their makeshift home at the Estadio Olimpico Lluis Companys when they host Real Betis.
