Two Additional Defensive Midfield Options Announced, Including a Former Barcelona Player
The other option is quite a gem!
Thiago, a former Barcelona player who was a part of the first team from 2011 to 2013, has had several opportunities to make a return, but the club typically rejected the idea. Currently aged 32, he is plying his trade at Liverpool.
On the other hand, Fabricio Diaz is a Uruguayan talent, also associated with Liverpool, but this time from his home country. He is widely regarded as one of the most promising prospects in his position. If Deco gives the green light to sign him, the 20-year-old could potentially join Barcelona for a fee of less than €9 million in the upcoming January transfer window.
Unsurprisingly, a majority of fans are hoping for Barcelona to secure the services of Fabricio Diaz. The club has been linked with this young talent for several months now, and they have even had discussions with his agent.
Previously, Xavi expressed his concern about Barcelona’s squad depth in the defensive midfield position. While Oriol Romeu is an option, and Marc Casado can also fill in, Xavi appears to be keen on adding a higher-quality player to the roster in this crucial position.
