Posted on December 17, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. by Th.B. FC Barcelona coach for just over a month, Xavi Hernandez has taken control of a drifting vessel which could be considerably reinforced this winter. However, in terms of departures and arrivals, Xavi has made an appointment for December 21. The weeks go by and look the same for FC Barcelona . Despite the appointment of Xavi which marked the start of the new era desired by Joan Laporta since his victory in the presidential elections last March, Barça's sporting ills remain intact and have notably led to elimination club from the group stage of the Champions League. In the wake of this poor performance and this new correction from Bayern Munich (0-3), AS revealed that the primary will of Xavi Hernandez was to sweep the Blaugrana squad away, including firing three players whose identities were not filtered. And in the arrivals department, the possibilities seem endless if we are to believe the rumors circulating in the press. From Edinson Cavani to Ferran Torres via César Azpillicueta or Pierre – Emerick Aubameyang , FC Barcelona would have concrete ideas for the next two transfer sessions. And while the first part of the season comes to an end, the winter transfer window will open its doors on January 1. The opportunity for Xavi to take stock of Barça's possibilities for this winter. This Friday, Xavi Hernandez was invited to speak at a press conference on a potential spring cleaning that is premature and therefore would take place in January. Although not taking a clear and concise position, the FC Barcelona coachHas been very transparent about what a single eventual arrival would mean to Barca's squad. “Departures this winter? We are evaluating all the possibilities. If we strengthen ourselves, there must be departures. He has to come within the salary limit, but we don't think about it. We have to think about Elche and Seville, get results. We appreciate all possibilities. If we recruit, there will have to be a way out for some ”. And speaking of potential attendees, Xavi did not hesitate to share his feelings with President Joan Laporta as to the needs of the group. “I'm a Barça coach, I have to improve myself and I'm not complaining. These are examples in terms of intensity. It's difficult for us to be competitive. I believe in what we are doing and it is a matter of patience and time. We are on the right path. I told the president what needs to be strengthened in the short and medium term “. However, and always during the press conference in question, Xavi Hernandez wanted to set an order of priority: the sportsman with the last matches of the calendar year 2021 arriving against Elche on Saturday and for the trip to Seville on December 21 next, when the transfer window will then be opened by the coach of FC Barcelona . “What worries me are these matches, it's our present. It is we who are here. We will bring back injured players. My hopes are still intact. I see a change in the team, and we need to translate it into results. Things are going well, the model is good, there is nothing more to do but continue working … We will think about the signatures later. We need urgent items. There is nothing else to do but to continue working, and we will think about the signatures from the 21st ”. The message is clear, it remains to be seen what will be the different turning points of the FC Barcelona winter transfer window.
