'Sport': Barca and Sensi negotiate his arrival

The news is surprising for the moment, not for the content. And it is that recently the Catalan club had probed his arrival before he even finished in the Giuseppe Meazza, precisely because they had been following him for a long time. 

After agreement between Ernesto Valverde and the sporting director, the go ahead was given to undertake first contacts with the young Italian midfielder, with whom the initial contacts would have already taken place. 

Sensi is captivating by his shameless football and Antonio Conte has already told his directors that he wants him in his squad the next few years, so they will execute the purchase option of 25 million that was secured by him in the negotiation of the loan. 

Barcelona's advantage for the negotiation would pass through the options of Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal. In fact, the negotiations for the transfer of the Croatian to Inter are hotter than ever, so it could be currency in the operation. 

The Chilean is another possibility, although his value would be less that Rakitic. 

Stefano Sensi was already seen in the great match that he played at Camp Nou during the clash of the second day of the Champions League a few weeks ago. 

Skilful thanks to his low centre of gravity (1.68 metres), he is a great second-row player thanks to his good tactical position, his reading of the game and his ability for both the shot and the last pass. 

At 24, he is seen as one of the next leaders of the Italian national team, where he is also a fixture, as in his current club.
