Barcelona is still searching for a central defender and the latest player to join Barca’s wish list is Argentine Santiago Vergini, a 24 year old centre back who plays for Newell’s Old Boys, the ex team of Barca’s new coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino.
In fact, Santiago Vergini is one of the new coach’s weaknesses and who fully trusted the young man to play alongside Gabriel Heinze in Newell’s. It appears then that Martino has wasted no time in giving out a list of names in which appears the name of Santiago Vergini to strengthen the Blaugrana defense.
The young defender started out as a right-back but was reconverted by
Gerardo Martino. He’s also a tall guy being 6ft 3in, and was teamed up
with former Manchester United and Real Madrid veteran Gabriel Heinze,
leader of the Newell’s Old Boys defense at 35 years of age.
Vergini has grown alongside Heinze and is currently on loan from Italian outfit Verona. The young player is pretty fast despite his large frame, handles the ball well and likes to anticipate play, in addition to being great in the air.
This young guy may be just the ticket and looks like he fits in with Barca’s plans perfectly.
What do you think, would Santiago Vergini be a welcome addition to FC Barcelona’s ranks or should they wait and get someone with more experience?
