Messi knows: Barça will announce a signing this week (and it's not Griezmann)

Culés officials will comply with a Leo request in the coming days

Let's do it. The work to counteract the successes of Real Madrid are already underway at FC Barcelona . The hat - trick of Champions Leagues team Zinedine Zidane has hurt much in this city and those responsible Catalans want to forget the bad shot as soon as possible.

That is why, while the 2018 World Cup in Russia can not begin in Barça, they want to start laying land on the Thirteenth . And what better way to do it than inaugurating the new project blaugrana.

Antonie Griezmann, waiting

The illusion of the leaders would have been to present Antoine Griezmann , of Atlético de Madrid .

The talks between the Frenchman and Barça have been constant for some time, but it will not be until July 1 that the player will not be worth 100 million , so the operation is postponed until then.

Meanwhile, the Catalans intend to close in the coming days another of the signings they have in hand. It will be the first stone to bury the Real and the Thirteenth

The signing of Clement Lenglet is a matter of days

One is Clement Lenglet , of the Seville , after which the people in charge of the Barça go for a long time. On several occasions the Catalan entity has sent spies to Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán and in the technical secretariat it is clear that the French one is a great opportunity.

The player has set a great season in the Andalusian team. He has played almost everything and has become one of the references of the Sevillian rear. In addition, his process of adaptation to the Spanish League has been total.

All in all, the 35 million that his clause promotes make him a candy for anybody and Barça does not want to lose the opportunity. As long as the leaders can, they will tie and make their signing official in the coming days.

In addition, the arrival of a central guarantees is one of the demands of Leo Messi for the coming season. The Argentine is fed up with players like Thomas Vermaelen or Yerry Mina , who create more doubts than assurances, and do not want more experiments. Only front-line players and guarantees. And Lenglet meets the profile.
