The winter transfer window is in full swing and all European clubs are looking for the best opportunities to strengthen their squads. Not very active since the opening of the transfer market, FC Barcelona intends to get active.

Indeed, the Catalan club could strengthen itself in the midfield in the coming days. According to information from journalist Fernando Polo, the Blaugrana leaders would be very interested in a player from Manchester City.

English midfielder Kalvin Philips would be on Barça’s shortlist. The current 4th in Liga would like to secure the services of the international Three Lions as part of a 6 month loan.

Lacking playing time within the Mancunian club, the former Leeds United player would not be against freelancing in Spain. However, the Catalan media announces that the deal could be complicated.

An interesting profile for Xavi and Barça?

What if Kalvin Phillips relaunched this winter in Spain and at FC Barcelona? This is a possibility that should not be ruled out. The Englishman wants to play and become again the player he was at Leeds under the leadership of Marcelo Bielsa.

At Barça, his profile could be interesting for Xavi. A defensive midfielder by training, the Englishman has obvious technical qualities but could also bring in terms of physical impact and in duels.
