FC Barcelona Season Update: Xavi’s Leadership, Transfer Market, and Defensive Decisions

2023-12-25 22:09:06

FC Barcelona’s first part of the season is generally disappointing. Under the leadership of Xavi who multiplies risky outings and tactical errors, the Catalan club is groping. Third in La Liga, Barça will have a lot to do in the Champions League with a tough double confrontation against Naples in the round of 16. In the meantime, the Culés could be active this winter on the transfer market. However, the real deadline for strengthening should be the summer for the Barcelona board according to several Iberian media. And while the João Cancelo and João Félix cases are very thorny, that of the defense is not lacking in difficulty. While the return of Chadi Riad is more than considered for the residents of Camp Nou, the future of one of the four current defenders is necessarily compromised.

Left-handed, like Chadi Riad, Inigo Martinez could be in the hot seat. However, according to information from Sport, the Catalan management will listen more to the offers for Jules Koundé and Andreas Christensen. Eager to replenish the coffers before a summer which promises to be hot, FC Barcelona would like to enjoy a nice influx of money with one of the two while Inigo Martinez would not provide enough liquidity. The Danish defender, who was relegated to the bench, has been harboring some personal fears for several weeks following the indiscretions of our Iberian colleagues. Feeling behind, he would like to return to the forefront at an ambitious club and several Premier League squads would be watching him. Followed very closely by Bayern Munich who would be ready to put 100 million euros on the table to attract him, Ronald Araujo remains untouchable in the eyes of Joan Laporta’s teams. Sport reminded again this Monday, no offer will be listened to for the Uruguayan defender.
