Barcelona SC continues to put together the squad to face in the Pro League and Copa Libertadores for this new year, and on Thursday night alone, the Yellows will announce the arrival of 3 new reinforcements.

The team from the Canary Islands did not have the best defense in 2023, so for this new season the management committee wanted to focus on improving the background of the team. The arrival of center back Alex Rangel joins Franklin Guerra, William Vargas and Mathías Suárez.

Three reinforcements solve the problem in the defensive line of the club, and two of them already have experience in Ecuadorian football.

A hard blow for Janner Corozo: in León ‘it didn’t fill the eye’ of DT and they thank him. Has Barcelona SC already bought your pass?

Vargas, a 26-year-old right-back by trade, joins after several stints in the training departments of the national team, Academia Alfaro Moreno, Guayaquil City FC and Independiente del Valle; Boca Juniors Sub 20 and reserve in Argentina. A one-year contract with the option to purchase.

War or better known as Marshal, is a central defender with previous experience in clubs such as: El Nacional, Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito and Universidad Católica del Ecuador. He is coming on loan for a year.

Finally, Suárez is a 27-year-old Uruguayan right marker. The Uruguayan previously played for Defensor Sporting, Nacional and Uruguayan Montevideo City Torque; while outside his homeland he worked in Montpellier, France.

In this way, coach Diego López has more options in the defensive zone, which was one of the main problems of the Guayaquil team last season because it did not have enough substitutes. (D)
