Barely inducted on the bench of FC Barcelona, ​​Xavi is already active behind the scenes to strengthen its workforce from the next winter transfer window. The Spanish technician could have a soft spot for England, since Barça would have set their sights on Raheem Sterling. However, this operation would seem to be complicated for the Catalans, who could then turn to Chelsea.

FC Barcelona want to revive after their poor start to the season. In Liga , Barça is in a disappointing 9th place with only 17 points won in 12 league days. In Champions League , qualification is far from certain for the Blaugrana, who have only 6 points, just 2 more than Benfica . In an attempt to redress the bar, Joan Laporta therefore decided to oust Ronald Koeman in order to repatriate his legend Xavi . The Spaniard is thus committed until 2024 with the club culé. While he has just arrived in Barcelona , Xavi would already have ideas in mind to strengthen its workforce from next January.

According to Sport, the 26-year-old winger would be the priority of Barça in order to strengthen the club's attacking sector this winter. However, due to its economic problems, Joan Laporta could only register arrivals in the form of a loan. A possibility that the Citizens would not consider to part with Raheem Sterling , who would like a dry transfer for their player. An operation that would be impossible for Barça . Therefore, Xavi could leave out Manchester to turn to London

Barça aim for 3 players of Chelsea

In addition to having recently secured the services of Dani Alves, FC Barcelona expects to recruit three players on loan this winter, as reported by Sport. Thus, Barça would have in his sights the players of Chelsea who are Christian Pulisic , Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi . These three forwards play little this season under the orders of Thomas Tuchel . Therefore, Barcelona would welcome the coming of each of these players to revive them. Barça would therefore seek offensive alternatives at a lower cost for the winter transfer window, especially in the face of the very uncertain future of Sergio Agüero . For the Catalan daily, it would then be very likely that Xavi would recruit at least one versatile striker in January, who could both move in the axis and on one side. It remains to be seen whether Joan Laporta will find the necessary financial resources to achieve her goals this winter …
