After the 2022/23 season, Barcelona will say goodbye to their veterans Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. This will free up space for the quartet of Catalan Pride captains. Javi has spoken to two potential leaders, according to AS. Will Robert Lewandowski benefit from this?
At FC Barcelona, the decision was made to change generations. After Gerard Piqué, it’s time for Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba to leave Barcelona at the end of the 2022/23 season.
New FC Barcelona captains
Both of the above players are very worthy of the Catalan club, with which they have won many trophies. With such an internship, after the departure of Leo Messi, it is not surprising that they were chosen as the captains of the Blaugrana. However, the decision to leave them forces Xavi to look for new leaders who, not only on the field, but also in the dressing room, will lead Barcelona to victories in every game.
Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba will be succeeded by Sergi Roberto, who, according to media reports, will become the owner of the captain’s armband. The second choice in the absence of the Spaniard should be German goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen, who replaced Gerard Pique in the pecking order this winter.
Amazing news from AS. Xavi talked to the captain candidates
According to journalists, the decisions of the veterans opened the door for new captains, who should become the third and fourth captains in the absence of the first two. As it became known to AS, Javi has already spoken to two people, Ronald Araujo and Robert Lewandowski.
“The Blaugrana coach sees these two players as ideal candidates to complete the quartet of captains, which will consist of two home-grown players, Sergi Roberto and Araujo, who moved to the reserves of the Catalan Duma in 2018, and two well-known foreigners. Ter Stegen and Lewandowski,” we read.
AS: Pedri and Gavi are too young to take on such responsibility
Ace expects players like Pedri and Gavi to take on the role of captains in the long term, although at the moment, according to Spanish journalists, they are still too young to take on this responsibility.
“Moreover, if the arrival of such experienced players as Ilkay Gundogan or Joshua Kimmich is confirmed, the path to joining the quartet of captains may be a little longer,” he concluded.
