The casting to replace Iniesta at Barça has a surprise winner (and three finalists)

FC Barcelona raves the transfer market in search of a midfielder

The debate is served. Is Philippe Coutinho the player called to make Andrés Iniesta now that the manchego is leaving?

Everything made me think so. Especially when the FC Barcelona has gotten into operation 160 million of euros for the Brazilian crack.

However, in the Camp Nou there are many voices that warn about Coutinho. They see him more capable of making Neymar than of Iniesta.

There are those who consider that Barça is now an orphan of a brain and must go to the market to look for it. Obviously, Ernesto Valverde has talented players.

Beyond Coutinho , there are those who see in Denis Suárez a possible Iniesta,saving the differences. Even the canterano Carles Aleñá rises strongly to play in midfield.

The three candidates to Iniesta from outside

But some options are also being handled outside of Barça. In particular, there are three possible candidates to strengthen the squad after Iniesta's absence and the more than likely departure of André Gomes.

They are Rafinha , who could return to the club after half a year on loan at Inter if they do not exercise the purchase option for 35 million of euros.

Another alternative that sounds louder is that of Arthur , a Gremio footballer who at 21 years old sounds like a future star in Brazil. The Barça has a disagreement for him. 

The chosen one: Fabián Ruiz  

Finally, the name that begins to sound with force is Fabián , half of Betis also very young who has starred in a spectacular campaign this year under Quique Setién.

He is only 22 years old but after the departure of Dani Ceballos he has become the undisputed holder of the Bética medulla. The best Betis in years, that has already gotten into Europe.
