Barcelona want Tagliafico and Tagliafico wants to play for Barcelona. According to the newspaper 'AS', he has already advised his agent, Ricardo Schlieper, who could have to talk to Ajax approximately the fact that they are willing to element with their young starlet Alex Balde in an effort to make the Argentine's arrival cheaper.
The parties have not yet worked out how to close the deal. A loan deal would be the least destructive for the Ciudad Condal's coffers, even though it might be better to keep him on mortgage in an effort to increase the fee in their squad. Also, with a watch on the future, it might be the maximum strategic move.
A loan with an alternative to buy ought to satisfy both clubs, because the Barcelona side would now not have to pay for him immediately and might have a six-month window to see his development beneath Xavi Hernandez before finding out whether or not to make investments a variety of money in him. The Dutch, but, could be left to wait, a wait they might not like very a good deal.
The 0.33 choice is a fashionable transfer. Alex Balde ought to enter the equation, even though Barcelona's concept is not that he would go away on a permanent basis, but instead on loan. Joan Laporta's board is aware that the nice he could bring to Ajax may want to help Tagliafico to reach in Barcelona on lighter financial terms.
