Barcelona decision prompts Alvaro Cortes to consider summer exit | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have had quite a lively summer transfer window, in which they have brought in several new players and said goodbyes to several other players. However, the final few days of the market are seemingly going to be even busier for them.

The main task for them in these remaining days of the market remains the signing of a new center-forward. Meanwhile, the Catalans can also look to reinforce some other areas of the team as well.

In fact, SPORT reports that the Blaugrana club has already made the decision to sign another left-footed center-back before the transfer window closes. However, because of this decision, the young defender Alvaro Cortes has decided to leave, as he is not expected to have as many minutes as he would have liked with the arrival of such a new center-back.

The La Masia graduate has had a very good preseason, during which he played and trained with the first team. Hansi Flick has also told him, both publicly and privately, that he will have a good amount of minutes if he remains in the team for the next season.

However, keeping in view the expected competition for first team minutes, Cortes has decided to accept one of the several important offers he has on the table. He is expected to make a final decision in this regard in the coming few days, and the terms of a transfer are also not going to be a problem for the Blaugranes, who will be keeping some future rights on him.

Alvaro Cortes had always wanted to stay at Barcelona and continue his development to get a place in the first team. However, matters have taken a significant turn in the last few days, and it remains to be seen which club he would ultimately choose to continue his career going forward.
