They came to talk about the renewal of Nelson Araujo, but since Roberto De Zerbi is also among their client portfolio, the news took on double value in the area around the Camp Nou. They are Edmundo Kabchi and Edoardo Crnjar, agents of, among others, the Barcelona defender and the Brighton coach. The two landed in the Catalan capital and were intercepted by the Jijantes group, a media that follows Barça led by Gerard Romero, former journalist, streamer and president of a Kings League team. On the table for the two agents is Araujo’s new contract: the Charrua defender expires in 2024 and is being courted closely by several suitors, above all Bayern Munich. Barça wants to keep him at all costs, even if they have to sell at all costs and Araujo would bring in a nice bundle of millions. In any case, the agreement must be reviewed and renewed.

Now it remains to be seen whether, speaking with Deco and Joan Laporta, Khabchi and Crnjar will also address the coaching issue. Xavi’s resignation in June has obviously opened up the list of names, and at the moment the most popular for succession is the German Hansi Flick. For many he will be the chosen one, but be careful because they like De Zerbi a lot and his agents have a great relationship with Barça. They are the ones who brought Quique Setien when Ernesto Valverde was unfortunately sacked. The issue of the coach, however, is somewhat slippery: in Barcelona everyone is convinced that if Xavi were to lose to Maradona next Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Napoli he will be sacked immediately, with Rafa Marquez, currently at Barça B, ready to take over until June. But it is clear that if the Mexican were to do well he could also stay. Too many “ifs”, which is why at the moment these are preliminary contacts. However, De Zerbi’s name for the Barcelona bench remains very topical.
