EIn recent days there has been much speculation about Barcelona’s interest in Jaden Philogene. This Wednesday, the president of Hull City, his current club, made some statements in which he assured that the Catalans’ interest in the player was true. However, reality has been distorted from what really happened. It is true that The player’s representatives met with the Barça club a few days ago at the Sant Joan Despí Sports City.
It was a meeting called to discuss a couple of players that this representation agency has in the club’s lower categories. In fact, the meeting was not with Deco but with people in charge of youth football and the scouting department. At that meeting, the agents offered Philogene to Barcelona, stating that he had a great interest in playing for Barcelona, which was the striker’s dream.
The club had reports of this footballer of which they recognize his quality although they had never made a move to sign him. Barcelona’s response was that if he presented himself at zero cost, his club of origin gave him a purchase option and there was a gap in the Financial Fair Play, the club would then consider a possible contract, but only in these cases and without guaranteeing anything since before there are many priorities registration than those at the English end.
A practically impossible operation because there are other english clubs who are interested in the player, at Barcelona they consider that it is a way to make the product more expensive, and the logical thing is that the Hull City, If you have to get rid of the forward, do it through a transfer and not at zero cost as would be the case if he came to Barcelona. The chances of Philogene joining Barcelona are minimal.
