Three candidates to replace Luis Suárez at Barcelona

Three candidates to replace Luis Suárez at Barcelona - Bolavip US

<p>It’s a new era for <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a>. <strong>Ronald Koeman, who took charge as manager a few days ago, has already told some of the club’s players that they won’t be needed for next season</strong>. Every club makes changes in its squadwhena new manager takes the reins of the team, but <strong>when one of those players is world star such as <a href="https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/football/first-team/squad/4138/luis-suarez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luis Suárez</a>, everything is different</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/ronald-koeman-5-things-about-the-new-barcelona-manager-20200817-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Koeman didn’t waste time and is already building the new Barcelona</a>. And to do that, he wants to make some changes in the current squad, sidelining some of the players. <strong>Besides Suárez, the manager also told Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti </strong>that they should find a new club as they won’t be needed for next season.</p>
<p>Now, it’s time for these soccer stars to find new challenges, probably in other leagues. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/World-class-players-who-could-move-to-MLS-in-the-upcoming-transfer-windows-20200714-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Suárez hasalready been in the Major League Soccer radar</a>, but there are rumors that <strong>the Uruguayan strikercould return to the Premier League or even go back to Ajax in the Netherlands</strong>. Let’s take a look to these foud Barcelona players.</p>

<h2>Luis Suárez</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>Luis Suárez is considered one of the best strikers in the world. He joined <a href="https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> in 2014 and, since then,<strong> he has won 13 titles with the Spanish team</strong>, including a <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a> and a FIFA Club World Cup.</p>

<h2>Arturo Vidal</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>The Chilean midfielder joined Barcelona in 2018 after successful stints in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayern Munich</a> and Juventus. <strong>Vidal won two titles with the Spanish team</strong>, but he was never considered a key player for the squad. Now, he will have to find a new club.</p>
<h2>Ivan Rakitic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Ivan Rakitic of Barcelona" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Ivan Rakitic of Barcelona" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1598373402745/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/25/ivan_rakitic_barcelona_crop1598373402004.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>   Ivan Rakitic has played six seasons at Barcelona (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>After his last season, it’s not a surprise to see Rakitic out of Barcelona. The Croatian midfielder has spent six seasons at Barsa, winning all kind of trophies,<strong> including a UEFA Champions League and a FIFA Club World Cup.</strong></p>
<h2>Samuel Umtiti</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Samul Umtiti of Barcelona" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Samul Umtiti of Barcelona" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1598373427806/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/25/samuel_umtiti_barcelona_crop1598373427196.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>   Barcelona’s Samuel Umtiti during a La Liga game (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Umtiti joined Barcelona in 2016, starting as a squad rotation player. He could never become a first team member, and now will have to find a new club. <strong>The central defender is still young and there will probably be a lot of teams looking to sign him.</strong></p>

Koeman makes changes at Barcelona: Luis Suárez and other three stars that won't be needed for next season - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona </a>are dealing with one of the team’s most caotic momentsin recent years.

That’s why they have already chosen<strong> Ronald Koeman to replace Quique Setién as Barcelona manager</strong>. The Spanish club will announce Koeman’sappointment this week.</p>
<p><strong>The former Dutch soccer star will resign as Netherlands national team coach</strong> to take charge of the Spanish team to face the next season. But who is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Koeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RonaldKoeman</a>? Here we will show you five things about him and his plans for Barcelona.</p>
<h2>Koeman as Barcelona player and assistant manager</h2>

<p>Koeman is currently the Netherlands national team’s coach, but he will resign in order to take chargeof the Spanish side.<strong> Barcelona will be his 11th team as manager</strong>. His former jobs? Vitesse, Ajax, Benfica, PSV, Valencia, AZ Alkmaar, Feyenoord, Southampton, Everton and Netherlands.</p>
<h2>Koeman and his plans for a renewed Barcelona<span></span></h2>
<p>There will probably be many changes in Barcelona squad after the humiliating defeat against Bayern Munich.<strong> Koeman also believes it’s time for a renewed team</strong>, or at least that was what he said two months ago in an interview with Radio Catalunya: <em>“If in my team I have a 22-year-old player and a 30-year-old player who have the same or similar performance, I put the 22-year-old one. (Luis) Suárez is over30, (Lionel) Messi is over 30, (Sergio) Busquets is over 30, (Gerard) Piqué is over 30… They may have been playing for Barsa for more years, but then what? And once they’re gone? That’s why I think we have to change”</em>.</p>

<h2>Koeman and his plans for Lionel Messi</h2>
<p>Koeman wants a renewed Barcelona, but he also wants Lionel Messi on his side.<em> “The best is Messi”</em>, said Koeman last year during a press conference when asked who’s the best soccer player. According to Koeman, Messi should play without an specific position on the field. He wants the Argentineto be free on the field and help the team to be better. However,<strong> Messi’s future remains a mystery for now</strong>.</p>

Ronald Koeman: 5 things about the new Barcelona manager

Ronald Koeman: 5 things about the new Barcelona manager - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/cristiano-ronaldo-t2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> and<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Lionel Messi</a></strong>have dominated all the highlights, awards, and trophies any soccer player can dream about since their rise to stardom. They’ve always been on the opposite side of the pitch and have starred some of the best matches in the history of this sport.</p>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/Top-25-of-Lionel-Messi-best-achievements-in-recent-years-20200609-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Messi </a>and Ronaldo have both stayed <strong>at the top of the game for a very long time.</strong> They’ve also played for the best teams in the world, meaning they’ve had their fair share of top-notch teammates throughout their careers.</p>
<p>Needless to say, that means some of their teammates have had the chance to play with both. Whether if it was at <strong>Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, or the Argentina or Portugal national team, </strong>just 12 players can brag about playing with bothMessi and Cristiano Ronaldo.<strong>Note: Miralejm Pjanic </strong>(if Messi stays at Barcleona)<strong></strong>and<strong> Arthur Melo </strong>are likely to join this list, as Juventus and Barcelona have reportedly reached an agreement for a<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jun/29/barcelona-set-to-exchange-arthur-for-miralem-pjanic-with-juventus" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> player swap.</a></p>

<h2>André Gomes</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="334" data-size="w:1024,h:571" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/andre_gomes_cristiano_ronaldo_crop1595017406175.jpg_1029256313.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Gomes scored 3 goals for Barcelona. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Following a great stint at Valencia,<strong>André Gomes</strong>was supposed to be one of Barcelona’s rising stars but he struggled to establish himself in the starting XI and be a steady contributor for the Blaugranas.</p>
<p>Gomes played for Barcelona from 2016 to 2019. He won trophies with both Messi (1 Liga, 2 Copa del Rey, 1 Supercopa de España) and<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/Top-25-of-Cristiano-Ronaldo-best-moments-and-achievements-in-recent-years-20200518-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Cristiano Ronaldo</a> (UEFA 2016 European Championship). He’s starred for Portugal and <strong>is currently playing at Everton.</strong></p>
<h2>Fernando Gago</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/fernando_gago_lionel_messi_crop1595017460681.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Gago has made 61 caps for Argentina. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Fernando Gago</strong> has been teammates with Lionel Messi since his days at the U-20 Argentina national team. Together, they wonthe U-20 World Cup and, more importantly, the Olympic gold medal in 2008.</p>
<p>Gago also shared the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo during his days at Real Madrid. The Argentinean midfielder made 123 appearances for Los Blancos from 2007-12 but injuries <strong>derailed his promising career.</strong></p>
<h2>Gabriel Heinze</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/cristiano_ronaldo_gabriel_heinze_crop1595017354790.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Heinze is currently serving as Vélez Sarsfield’s coach. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Gabriel Heinze</strong> was once one of the most feared and respected center-backs in the world. His performances took him to Manchester United, where he shared the locker room with Cristiano Ronaldo for three years. They were also teammates for a couple of weeks at Real Madrid.</p>
<p>Heinze was one of the leaders of Argentina’s national team throughout his career, meaning he also played next to a surging Lionel Messi until his final cap in 2010. <strong>Notably, Heinze retired at Newell’s Old Boys, Messi’s homegrown club.</strong></p>
<h2>Ezequiel Garay</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1022,h:568" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/lionel_messi_ezequiel_garay_crop1595017315128.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Gary has played for Valencia since 2016. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Just like Fernando Gago, <strong>Ezequiel Garay</strong> and Lionel Messi go a long way back. He’s also a product of Newell’s academy and they’ve played together since the U-20 Argentina national team, winning the U-20 World Cup and the Olympic gold in 2008.</p>
<p>Moreover, the Argentine center-back also joined Cristiano Ronaldo at <strong>Real Madrid’s</strong> locker room. He was a part of <em>Los Blancos </em>from 2008-11, helping them win the Copa del Rey on his final season with the team.</p>
<h2>Deco</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/deco_messi_crop1595017245236.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Deco made 113 appearances for Barcelona. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Deco </strong>was one of the most disruptive players in the world when Barcelona signed him from Porto in 2004. He was as skilled as they come and a top-notch playmaker, and he served as one of Messi’s mentors in the pitch during the early stages of his career.</p>
<p>Notably, Deco also did the same for Cristiano Ronaldo when they shared the locker room for Portugal’s national team. They played together from 2003-10. Sadly, <strong>he was never able to win a trophy next to him.</strong></p>
<h2>Nélson Semedo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/cristiano_ronaldo_nelson_semedo_crop1595017201914.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Barcelona signed Nemedo from Benfica. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Nélson Semedo’s </strong>performances with Benfica drew the attention ofFC Barcelona in 2017. He’s become a steady part of their team ever since and he’s already won a couple of La Liga, one Copa del Rey, and one Supercopa de España with the Catalans.</p>
<p>Moreover, Semedo has now earned a spot in Portugal’s XI both as a full-back or a winger, sharing the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo since 2015. He helped his country win the<strong> 2018-19 UEFA Nations League.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div class="ckeditor-poll" data-path="/usa/encuestas/Encuesta1595018163187" id="ckePolls_1595018193351" style="text-align:left">  <span data-src="/usa/encuestas/Encuesta1595018163187"></span> </div>
<p></p>
<h2>Paulo Dybala</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/cristiano_ronaldo_paulo_dybala_crop1595017174828.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Dybala has scored 68 goals for Juventus. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Not so long ago, <strong>Paulo Dybala </strong>was one of the most promising strikers in the world. Now, he’s starting for Maurizio Sarri alongside Cristiano Ronaldo for Juventus. They’ve developed a strong rapport on and off the pitch.</p>
<p>Notably, Dybala is also called to play a major role in Argentina’s front for the future. He’s looked uncomfortable sharing the court with Messi from time to time but they’ll figure it out<strong> as all great players do.</strong></p>
<h2>Carlos Tevez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="334" data-size="w:1024,h:571" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/carlos_tevez_lionel_messi_crop1595017146711.jpg_1029256313.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Tevez played for both Manchester United and Manchester City. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Carlos Tevez</strong> was one of the men in charge of Argentina’s offense before Lionel Messi broke out as a superstar. Some argue they weren’t a natural fit in the pitch but still played together in the 2010 World Cup and 3 Copa Americas.</p>
<p>Tevez’s <strong>golden years</strong> came with Manchester United side by side with Cristiano Ronaldo. He joined the team in 2007 until 2009 and won two Premier Leagues, 1 FA Cup, 1 Club World Cup, and 1 Community Shield.</p>
<h2>Ángel Di María</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/cristiano_ronaldo_angel_di_maria_crop1595017104879.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Di María was also born in Rosario. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Once again, another member of that golden U-20 Argentinean generation makes the list. This time, we’re talking about<strong> Ángel Di María,</strong> one of Messi’s closest and most beloved teammates and one of the leaders of his national team.</p>
<p>Di María<strong> joined Real Madrid</strong> after the 2010 World Cup and played a major part in the team until 2014. He helped Cristiano and Los Blancos win 1 UEFA Champions League, 2 La Liga, 2 Copa del Rey, and 2 Supercopa de España.</p>
<h2>Gonzalo Higuaín</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="334" data-size="w:1024,h:571" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/lionel_messi_gonzalo_higuain_crop1595017070587.jpg_1029256313.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Higuaín was born in Brest, France. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Gonzalo Higuaín</strong> has drawn plenty of criticism for some subpar performances with his national team. Even so, he’s been their starting striker for almost a decade now and has scored 31 goals in 75 caps. Most of them next to Lionel Messi.</p>
<p>Higuaín was also one of the world’s most prolific goal-scorers during his time with Real Madrid. He shared the locker room for 4 years with Cristiano before taking his talents to Italy. <strong>Now, they’re together again at Juventus.</strong></p>
<h2>Henrik Larsson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/cristiano_ronaldo_henrik_larsson_crop1595017033699.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Larsson scored 242 goals for Celtic. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>There was a time when<strong> Henrik Larsson</strong> was one of the most unstoppable strikers in Europe. His legendary performances at Celtic granted him a move to Barcelona, where he played with Lionel Messi from 2004 to 2006.</p>
<p>Father time eventually caught up to Larsson and he lost some ground on the team, so he was sent to Manchester United on a brief loan in 2007. He played next to Cristiano and <strong>only scored 1 goal in 7 caps for the Red Devils.</strong></p>
<h2>Gerard Piqué</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/07/17/lionel_messi_gerard_piqux_crop1595017002896.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Piqué also played for Real Zaragoza. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Long before being one of Barcelona’s all-time greats, there wasn’t much room for<strong> Gerard Piqué </strong>on the team. He developed in Manchester United’s academy and made his professional debut with the Red Devils, where he shared the locker room with Cristiano Ronaldo.</p>
<p>Piqué later joined his homegrown team in 2008 and the rest, as you know by now, it’s history. He’s won countless trophies next to Lionel Messi and is now one of the <strong>winningest soccer players ever.</strong></p>
