Barcelona activated their clause of repurchase and Gérard Deulofeu returned for approximately 12 million euros. Taking into account the current market, to its level of talent and its young age, it seems to be undeniable.
Real Madrid has just sold Mariano Diaz, who is 23 years old, like Deulofeu, but made only 8 matches of league higher in its career than the 100 Catalans, in Lyon for 8 million. Twelve is a good deal.
However, where the winger is exactly in the team of Ernesto Valverde remains to be seen. In other words, it will not start if Barcelona plays 4-3-3… not with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar by beginning about all the matches. And its lack of defensive discipline returns it adapted badly for a system 4-2-3-1 or a kind of system in which all the trio of MSN plays besides Deulofeu.
It's decision making remains suspect, often taking ambitious master keys, dribbles or blows which do not rise. In spite of that, its talent is undeniable and, of course, sometimes, they leave; In particular, it offers penetrations.
If Valverde can teach the things to him who each trainer who it had until now did not succeed in inculcating completely in him - a better decision making and a greater responsibility for defense - then Deulofeu can bring into play a claim in the team. Even then, the place can be on the fringes of rotation, which really does not disturb me that it accepts.
At the time of the Championship of the UEFA to less than 21 years, Deulofeu was not regarded as the best player, whereas Spain lost the final in Germany. However, one can only exploit as much of importance an international tournament, in particular that played on the U21 level.
