A new signing has arrived at FC Barcelona's ranks in this last winter market, although not for the first team, but for Barça Atlètic. Joan Laporta is clear that beyond ensuring the present successes of the Catalan club, he must also focus his efforts on the future of the entity in every sense. With this in mind, Barça's president has made a move in the transfer market advised by the club's scouts, and the arrival of this young star is official.
Certainly, the reserve team is going through a difficult time in Primera RFEF and is not experiencing its best season. After an exciting campaign in which they dreamed of promotion, Barça Atlètic has plummeted dramatically. Therefore, one of the objectives of the club's top management, aside from the first team, is to save the category of the lower culés and they hope to do so with this signing.
An Urgent Need
After staying at the gates of promotion last season after losing to Córdoba, the team currently managed by Albert Sánchez is in the relegation zone. To this, it must be added that important pieces of the Catalan team have packed their bags and embarked on new paths in the world of soccer. A clear example is the departure of Unai Hernández, which has worsened the problems in the squad managed by the Spanish coach.
Without order on the field, plus the injuries of key pieces in the offensive line, Sánchez has been forced to seek improvised and uncertain solutions. Evidently, these have not been entirely useful, and this has been demonstrated in the results. Therefore, Joan Laporta has decided to act in the face of this scenario and has managed to sign a reinforcement with experience in the category.
Beats Real Madrid
The one chosen by Joan Laporta and FC Barcelona's technical secretariat is Alan Godoy, a Canarian forward who played for Eldense. The lack of minutes and continuity in the Valencian team led him to want a change of scenery, and he has finally ended up in culé lands. According to the latest information disseminated, Godoy's rights belonged to Deportivo Alavés, but he has been transferred to Barça for an amount that has not been disclosed so far.
Despite his little prominence on the field, Alan Godoy had a significant variety of offers in this last transfer market. In fact, among these proposals was Real Madrid's, who wanted to incorporate him for Raúl González's Castilla. However, the Spanish forward was clear that his priority was to play for Barça.
