Barcelona’s Pursuit of Midfield Reinforcement Intensifies Following Gavi’s Injury

Barcelona President Joan Laporta has confirmed the club’s intention to acquire a new midfielder in the upcoming January transfer window to compensate for Gavi’s serious injury.

Gavi, who suffered a knee injury in November, won’t play this season, and Barcelona, facing financial constraints, aims for loan deals to reinforce the team.

Laporta expressed optimism about making it work within fair play regulations, emphasizing the need for a similar technical profile to Gavi.

Head coach Xavi acknowledged the desire to strengthen the squad, highlighting the challenge of finding a player like Gavi in the market.

The potential loan target, Giovani Lo Celso from Tottenham Hotspur, is uncertain due to the Premier League side’s decision.
