Barcelona seems to have found Mascherano's replacement.

Javier Mascherano's departure from Barcelona is only a matter of time, since the Argentine footballer has asked to go to a team where he will be able to play more.

On the other hand, coach Ernesto Valverde will be growing in trouble as there are a limited number of players in the defence phase.

For this reason, Barcelona's leaders have the top priority of purchasing a quarterback.

At the top of the list of wishes lies the Dutch defender of Lazio, Stefan De Vrey, who expires contracts with the Roman team at the end of the season and seems to have no intention of renewing it.

Lazio would be willing to allow him to leave in January, not to lose him as a free player in the summer, and in the coming weeks negotiations on the transfer of De Vrei to Camp Nou are expected to begin./Periscope.
