The situation does not leave much room to let the imagination fly, but it is clear that it will have to be taken from where there is not in the winter market.
Xavi Hernández is fully aware that the coffers of FC Barcelona do not provide for great watermarks, but even so he considers that there are several pieces that should be tried to add in January.
Dembélé's permanent uncertainty , Agüero's health problems, the fact that Ansu is not at 100% and leaves with total caution with his knee ... the panorama leaves very little room to manoeuvre.
As we explained a few days ago in SPORT , Xavi really likes Kingsley Coman. A pure winger who can act on both sides, facing, technically very gifted, with a goal.
The Vallesano coach, a staunch defender of 4-3-3, is a lover of classic wing players capable of generating imbalance and coming out both inside and out.
And at that point there are few better than Coman in today's football. In addition, the French has speed to receive the ball into space, something that the Egarense also considers basic at the ends.
Of course, it seems impossible that the Barcelona entity can get hold of him in the winter market. He ends his contract in 2023 and it seems that he is refusing to renew his contract, so it is likely that Barça will try next summer.
Another profile that is urgent in 'can Barça' is a '9' more in the area. With Agüero out of combat for an indefinite period, there are profiles that could arrive at low cost, either as transferred or transferred.
In this bag we could put the Lacazette or Edinson Cavani. Others like Sterling or Adeyemi also seem too 'ostentatious', unless in the case of the Jamaican he lands on loan. In any case, a forward seems essential.
We will see to what extent it is possible to manoeuvre economically, but they are missing pieces to fit into Xavi's puzzle.
