Barcelona’s Midfield Conundrum: Gavi’s Injury Shifts Winter Transfer Priorities
Barcelona faces a formidable challenge in their midfield as Gavi’s season-ending ACL injury sidelines the young talent until the summer of 2024. This setback prompts a reassessment of priorities for the Blaugrana as they approach the upcoming winter transfer window.
Initially prioritizing Vitor Roque’s registration, Barcelona now confronts a dilemma: should they seek a replacement midfielder for Gavi or persist in their pursuit of Roque? Financial constraints limit the possibility of accommodating both players within the budget.
To address this dilemma, Barcelona is considering recalling Pablo Torre from his loan at Girona, as reported by Diario Sport. Torre, 20, has seen limited playing time at his current club, starting only once in eight games this season.
The ultimate decision lies with Xavi, who, based on past assessments, was not overly impressed with Torre’s performances last season. Whether Xavi will provide the young midfielder with a second chance amid the new circumstances remains uncertain.
