According to Diario Sport’s Lluis Miguelsanz, a reported ‘disagreement’ has surfaced between Xavi and Deco regarding Barcelona’s potential January signing. The Barca boss advocates for a central midfielder with a skillset akin to Gavi’s, while Deco insists on securing a defensive midfielder as a proper replacement for Sergio Busquets.
Barcelona’s priority target this month is said to be Aleix Garcia from Girona, a midfielder with similarities to Gavi but who can also fill Busquets’ role. Another prospect on the radar is Lucas Bergvall, touted as a blend of Gavi and Pedri.
In the realm of natural defensive midfielders, Barcelona has been linked with Andre from Fluminense, though no significant progress has been reported in negotiations between the club and the player.
The article also notes that Barcelona’s ability to make new signings hinges on triggering their remaining economic lever.
