Foyth’s serious injury: goodbye to his signing?

Juan Foyth, wanted by Barça, could suffer a knee injury that would take him away from the pitch for months

Gerard Romero has explained that he could be out for 8 to 10 weeks

The alarms go off in Villarreal. In last Sunday’s match at the Coliseum, with final result of 0-0, Juan Foyth had to be substituted before the 60th minute of the match due to a strong blow to the knee.

Hours later, Gerard Romero pointed out in Jijantes that the extent of the injury could keep the Argentine 8-10 weeks away of the playing fields, which would leave him out of the World Cup list with the albiceleste and would cool the interest that Barça has in hiring him.

At the Camp Nou the problem continues with the right side. Sergi Roberto had a great game against Manchester City, but in the league against Valladolid it was Koundé who held that position. An exit is being sought for Dest, who does not count for Xavi and even the latest information points to a swap with United for Wan-Bissaka.

From the sports management of FC Barcelona Foyth’s name was put on the table, but Villarreal warned that they would not let him out for less than his termination clause, that last Sunday rose from 42 to 54.6 million. A prohibitive number.
