Although the FC Barcelona lived an authentic revolution in the past market of signings estival, from the club think that it still is necessary achieve some pieces so that the staff was absolutely competitive. Joan Laporta, president of the club, advanced in an interview to the official means of the Barcelona picture that would have incorporations in January and already there are some tracks of what will look for.

The maximum mandator culé said to 'Boat TV' that "are working with the trainer, with the technical office and the director of football for this market of winter. We carry time analysing things and will improve to the team if have possibility to do it". The Barcelona understand that the project led by Xavi Hernández is very strong and that is in roads to explode his potential maximum, but also will be necessary a help 'extra'.

The Barça understands that there are two more weakened positions that the rest: the right side and mediocentro, as they have explained this Friday from the newspaper 'SPORT'. Already in the summer Joan Laporta and company tried to reinforce these sectors of the field with two 'cracks, but was an impossible task further of the arrival of Héctor Bellerín after terminating his agreement with the Arsenal.

The culés want to a 'crack' in the right band and understand that the solution is not to change to Jules Koundé or Ronald Araújo of position. Diego Dalot would be the chosen by part of the Barcelona sportive direction, by his quality and contractual situation. His bond with the Manchester United wins on 30 June 2023 and, although the English would prefer to renew it by a year, if the Barça insists in his traspaso could arrive in January by a price reduced.

Neves Goes back to scene

As we mentioned before, reinforce the place of mediocentro. Xavi Hernández trusts fully in Sergio Busquets and recognises that it is a key player for the staff, but is not a secret for anybody that to the of Badía no him 'reach' in European competitions. Besides, it will not continue the next year in the Barça and needs to a relief, further of a Frenkie of Jong that feels very comfortable in this position.

In this sense, the name of Rúben Neves goes back to go in in scene. The player of the Wolverhampton has agreement until 30 June of the next year and could arrive in January by a low price, so that the English avoid that it leave without leaving a euro six months afterwards. It was the option of Zubimendi, but the player finish to renew with the Real Sociedad.
