Barcelona President Joan Laporta Rules Out January Replacement for Injured Gavi

Barcelona faced a setback with the confirmation of Gavi’s season-ending ACL injury, but President Joan Laporta has stated that the club has no plans to spend money on a January replacement. Laporta expressed confidence in the squad’s competitiveness and emphasized trust in the sporting director and coach to make informed decisions.

“We have a very competitive squad, and Xavi has enough elements to continue having a good campaign,” Laporta affirmed. Barcelona’s summer spending was limited to €3.4m, focusing on players available on free transfers due to financial constraints.

Navigating the January market presents a different challenge, with clubs often reluctant to part with players without a significant fee. As a result, Barca may postpone their pursuit of a top-quality midfielder until the summer transfer window. Stay tuned for updates on Barcelona’s strategic approach in the evolving transfer landscape.
