The moment of truth. This Tuesday, it is time for most European clubs to complete their recruitment. And FC Barcelona is no exception to the rule. Camp Nou residents want to make some adjustments to their squad in order to be competitive in La Liga, the Europa League and the King’s Cup, where they will face Real Madrid in the semi-final. Xavi is therefore waiting for reinforcements, although the Catalan team does not have unlimited means during this transfer window. The Barça coach also had a last meeting yesterday with his leaders to decide on recruitment.
In effect, Sport explains that the Blaugranas had to choose between getting their hands on a winger or a right-back during this month of January. Regarding the right-back position, the Iberian club must anticipate a potential departure of the Spaniard Hector Bellerin to Sporting CP. Arriving last summer after being released by Arsenal, he fell short. A specialist in the position is therefore desired by the Culés. Certain tracks dating from last summer have again been studied, in particular that leading to Thomas Meunier.
Barca have not forgotten Pavard
Already cited on the side of Catalonia, Benjamin Pavard is still today. According to Sport, the chances of seeing him land on this final day of the transfer window are strong. The Catalan media evokes a loan. A solution that would suit the Barcelonans, in the hard financially, but also Bayern Munich. Indeed, the Bavarians do not necessarily count on the tricolor world champion, who had asked to play in the axis at the start of the season. Already in competition with Noussair Mazraoui, he will be barred more than ever since the Munich residents are in the process of completing the loan of João Cancelo (Manchester City).
A major competitor for the Frenchman, under contract until 2024. Sport adds that relations between Benjamin Pavard and Julian Nagelsmann are far from being in good shape. So many reasons that give confidence to FC Barcelona. Especially since according to The Chiringuito, the 2018 world champion is pushing to join Barca this winter. Pini Zahavi, who would work on the file, would activate behind the scenes so that he goes to the Culés. He only has a few hours left to complete this operation.
