The clock no for his course and inside two days is the epitaph of the wintry market. Xavi Hernández still wants to fichar to a leading centre with goal and arrival, that can lead the offensive of the team and that mark difference in this second half of season. The aim was, in principle, Álvaro Morata, but the Athletic of Madrid has prevented that the operation carry out in spite of that the conditions of the Juventus finished giving.

The ones of the 'Cholo' Simeone only would contemplate a traspaso that would approach to the 40 million euros, something inasumible for the Barcelona economy. Besides, the colchoneros neither see with 'good eyes' reinforce to a direct rival. Both teams are separated by only a point in the table of classification in LaLiga, and everything indicates that the two will be contesting 'shoulder with shoulder' the places of Champions until final of season.

Now, the Barcelona are in a crossing, since the economic factor also affects any plan that have the directive. With the incorporation of Ferran Torres and Adama Traoré, to the club grieve reach him the numbers to be able to have to all his pieces inscribed in the League. That's why all movement that occur in the next 48 hours will depend on the situation with Ousmane Dembélé. If the French finishes for renewing or go out of the club, then the directors of the entity will be able to do accounts and be aggressive in the straight final of this window of traspasos.

The incorporation of a side also was one of put them that it wanted to attain Xavi in this wintry market. With several options descartadas, the most suitable was the one of Nicolás Tagliafico. The Argentinian is not an usual headline for Erik have Hag, by what a cession is the correct alternative for both parts. In spite of that the player is doing all the possible to force his exit of the Ajax, the Dutch do not want to 'yield terrain' and keep the aground negotiations.

The time runs

The Barça only can reinforce his staff through cessions, since his purchasing power is limited and can not give 'the luxury' to do big movements in this month of January. The real aim of Joan Laporta is Erling Haaland to final of season, although the trainer has the mind in the present and wants to can have a plantel more varied, that allow him choose with tranquility his pieces to be able to impose his style of game without so many fetters that limit him. The situation is complicated.

Everything seems to indicate that the FC Barcelona will finish these last days conversing with a lot of teams, but the guarantees to be able to achieve another piece that add to the plans of the technician seem very far. The condales will have to 'happen the page' and focus in what have inside the first team to look for the aims that remain in the next months, being the Europe League the maximum certámen that will contest in what it subtracts of campaign.
