Barcelona’s Transfer Challenge: Xavi Faces Uphill Battle in January Amid Financial Constraints

Barcelona has delivered a cautionary message to Xavi, signaling that new signings in January are unlikely due to the club’s enduring financial challenges.

Amidst reports of Xavi’s desire for a new pivot, particularly unimpressed with Oriol Romeu, Diario Sport now reveals that Xavi has been informed to work with the existing squad unless there are player departures.

While Vitor Roque remains a potential addition, the likelihood is uncertain. Although Barcelona aims to revisit the deal next week, securing the young Brazilian’s move forward is far from guaranteed.

With Barcelona closely monitoring the market, the club acknowledges the absence of flexibility, as they are already surpassing their salary limit.

Despite injury setbacks, Xavi has welcomed back key players like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pedri, and Jules Kounde. The return of Frenkie de Jong after the international break adds to Xavi’s array of options, ensuring a well-rounded squad despite the transfer constraints.
