Barcelona’s Midfield Quest: Laporta Eyes Loan Move to Fill Gavi Void
Barcelona President Joan Laporta has revealed the club’s intention to explore a loan move for a midfielder to compensate for the loss of Gavi due to a season-ending injury. Drawing inspiration from historical loan deals, such as the one with Edgar Davids, Laporta expressed the desire to secure a temporary solution until the end of the season.
Speaking about the fair-play situation, Laporta highlighted the club’s margin and indicated the possibility of generating the required fair play through ongoing operations. If confirmed, these operations could pave the way for Barcelona to pursue additional signings.
Xavi’s reported preference for Giovani Lo Celso faces resistance from Tottenham Hotspur, complicating the potential acquisition. However, the club’s primary focus remains on registering Vitor Roque in January. Laporta remains optimistic about further reinforcements, with a new central midfielder on the radar if financial conditions permit.
Barcelona’s midfield, comprising Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Ilkay Gundogan, Fermin, Sergi Roberto, and Oriol Romeu, will undergo potential additions to strengthen their squad depth.
