FC Barcelona is studying formulas to get the signing of Ecuadorian Oscar Zambrano without reaching the amount requested by his club, Liga Deportiuva Universitaria (LDU) of Quito.
The footballer likes the Barça club and after his role in the recent U-20 World Cup has increased interest in a midfielder with very good qualities, both physically and with the ball at his feet, being the vision of the game one of his main characteristics.
The idea of the club’s sports managers would be to strengthen Barça Atlètic with the aim that it could adapt properly, evolve and be, over time, also interesting for the first team.
The five million euros that LDU intends are unaffordable for a player with a subsidiary record, but there could be different formulas to lower its cost and reach an agreement. These could go through some kind of agreement, maintain percentages on the midfielder of the Ecuadorian club, or even involve other players.
From offer to interest
SPORT already reported at the time that, initially, Zambrano was offered to the Barça club through Edmundo Kabchi, the representative of Ronald Araujo, who put the name of the young footballer on the table.
There are more teams that want the midfielder, 19 years old, and the list known from Porto, West Ham and Crystal Palace is also added, as this editorial has been able to know, Chelsea. In addition, there would also be interest in a couple of Bundesliga sets.
