Barcelona’s January Transfer Dilemma: Midfield Woes and Last Minute Options
As the January transfer window inches closer to its conclusion, with only 10 days remaining for clubs to finalize deals, Barcelona has made a move by registering Vitor Roque and assigning him the no. 19 shirt. However, with the window still ajar, there remain potential areas for action before the deadline.
One significant consideration for Barcelona is the need for a midfield reinforcement, especially in the wake of Gavi’s injury. Reports suggest that Xavi has communicated this requirement to the club’s decision-makers, pointing to a desire to bring in a player who can fill the void left by Gavi’s absence.
Several midfield options, including the likes of Kalvin Phillips, Giovani Lo Celso, and Aleix Garcia, have been on Barcelona’s radar. However, the feasibility of signing these players on loan seems to be the determining factor, and unless an opportunity arises, such additions may remain elusive for the Catalan side as the transfer window approaches its closure.
