Not everything is to be thrown away, but FC Barcelona’s start to the season is a bit disappointing compared to Spanish competition. In La Liga, Real Madrid already has a 4-point lead over the Catalan club, thanks in particular to their success in the Classico. But the astonishing Girona and the solid Atlético de Madrid are also ahead of Barça, relegated to 4th place in the championship. So, Xavi and his team have identified a certain position to strengthen in view of a crucial second part of the season for the Blaugrana.
According to Sport, the Catalans would like to find a solution, at low cost or even on loan, to improve the midfield. A midfielder in front of the defense to be more precise, capable therefore of competing with Oriol Romeu, unique in his profile within the squad. If Ilkay Gündogan and Frenkie de Jong can help out in front of the hinge, Barça would not be against reinforcement in this position. The Barcelonans would ideally like to bring back a player who can multiply efforts and who can also resist opposing offensive transitions. For this, Joan Laporta and his team will have to bet on the right person from the next transfer window, in winter.
