Cold shower for Roony Bardghji: Deco is considering signing a top winger

Barça and Chelsea have been after one of the great gems of Argentine soccer for some time, and it seems that Deco may have reached an agreement. The sporting director for Barça may have gotten ahead of the Londoners in securing one of the most promising signings. Barça had been working for months to close a deal for a strategic signing with major impact.

Chelsea, given their financial muscle, had become the main threat that put the new blaugrana signing at risk. Deco's patience, perseverance, and insistence have paid off, with the player's own pressure tipping the balance in Barça's favor. Despite budget limitations, Barça once again manages to secure a young talent with the mark of a generational star.

His youth, exceptional talent, and potential for growth make him an ideal piece for the current ambitious project designed by Laporta. The club believes that the footballer's profile will be an investment that will bring much joy in the future. We're talking about Ian Subiabre, the new Argentine gem whose contract with River ends in 2026.

A talented winger

The young Argentine winger, 18 years old, has attracted the interest of major European clubs due to his rapid development at River Plate. Subiabre signed a contract with River until December 2026, but he hasn't renewed yet, with his release clause set at €35 million. Barça, like Chelsea, has followed the footballer with clear interest as a strategic signing for the future.

Barça, despite their financial difficulties and fair play adjustments, remains an attractive club for top talents. We're talking about a versatile striker with the ability to break the balance in one-on-one situations. His speed, change of pace, and ability to create danger make him a very appealing player.

Versatility and explosiveness

As a two-footed winger, the young Argentine winger has the ability to break through on both flanks. Although he is naturally right-footed, he can also attack without problems on the left side or through the center as a false "9." Physically, we're talking about a classic skillful winger, 18 years old, 5 ft. 7 in. (1.71 m) tall, with notable speed and dribbling ability. 

As a signing for the future, he would arrive at Barça to strengthen the reserve team or be loaned out to a first division team to continue his development. Since his promotion to River's first team, Subiabre has gained prominence, showing that he is a great assister. In Argentine youth national teams, the winger has also shown his potential in U-20 tournaments.
