Barça accelerates to give Xavi the forward and full-back he asks for


There is a week left for the winter market to end and Barça still has work to do. a lot of work because xavi calls for the arrival of a striker (bruise, the Juventus player, would be the ideal solution) to alleviate the serious problems he is experiencing in attack after the serious injury of Ansu Fati and the political-sports discarding of Dembele.

The coach also asks for a left back to give him rest and, at the same time, competition for Jordi Alba. But the club must first find the salary margin necessary to fit those pieces that the coach demands, confident as he is in the negotiating capacity of Matthew German.

On the same day, Xavi was left without Dembélé, faced with the club, and without Ansu, the victim of another serious muscle injury

The team lives in such a precarious situation that it requires, as Xavi has repeatedly told laporta Y German, emergency solutions to have options to compete and reach the Champions zone, now located just one point behind Atlético after the agonizing victory in Mendizorroza.

With the arrival of Ferran Torres, converted, for the moment, in the most expensive signing of the winter market in Spain (55 million euros to Manchester City plus 11 in variables) is not enough to please xavi.

With Ferran Torres is not enough

In one week, the coach has lost two strikers who had undisputed status to complete his preferred attack: Dembele-Ferran Torres-Ansu Fati. Only the former City player remains, who has chained three consecutive starts after being out since last October, which reveals the coach’s need for him.

It has not been left to xavi no choice but to go to Ferran because he has lost the threat and intimidation that he offered ansu (he has barely enjoyed it for two games) and the unbalanced dribbling, but without the effectiveness that he used to offer Dembele.

The scenario is so changeable at Barça that Luuk de Jong, who was with the transfer poster this winter, now stays because Xavi has seen his list of strikers decrease alarmingly. That is why he insists the club take measures to solve it. He does it in private. And also in public.

The Tagliafico option

“I already spoke with the president, with Mateu, with Jordi. But from what we want to what we can there is a bit,” said the coach before traveling to Vitoria, confirming that the club is working to strengthen Barça in “several areas” , although he refused to specify them in detail.

But laporta, German Y jordi cruyff They have been more than informed for days about the urgent needs of Xavi, who showed up at Bilbao’s decisive cup night with two strikers signed for the subsidiary (Jutglà came from Barça B and Abde from Hércules) escorting Ferran the same day that the club He got serious with Dembélé, announcing that either he renewed or he was urged to look for an exit from the Camp Nou before January 31.

That same deadline that is thrown at Alemany, forced to find effective solutions to rebuild an increasingly weakened squad, both in attack and defense, where they had to resort to Dani Alves (38 years old and unemployed) to strengthen the right flank and now an alternative is being sought for the left side.

But Barça, in need as it is of a replacement for Jordi Alba, who plays it all and without any rest, has noticed Nicholas Tagliafico, a specialist on the left wing, who is eager to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the winter market to come on loan to Barça.

At Ajax, the Argentine defender has lost the status of starter in defense, a role he now holds blind daley to the left. At Barça, with Alba at the center of criticism (“I feel singled out and not only now but for years,” said the azulgrana in Mendizorroza), the door is opened for Tagliafico, who after five years in the Netherlands Low wants to leave now.
