He FC Barcelona He does not rest on his sports planning. Although the summer transfer market has just closed, at the Barça club they are still waiting to improve the squad. And where there is a gap to cover is in the pivot position. The Barça club signed this summer Oriol Romeu (31 years old) from Girona, who is giving a very good performance. However, the one from Ulldecona does not have a clear substitute. Frankie Young can play in that position but neither Xavi Hernandez in Deco They consider that to be their ideal position. Another option would be to use there a Ilkay Gundoganbut for an emergency, not as a solution with signs of continuity.
For this reason, the new sports director culé and his team are already analyzing this situation with the intention of trying to reinforce the position of midfielder in the winter transfer window. In fact, Xavi He admitted at Saturday’s press conference that the pivot position was still fully covered. That is also why he is reserving Oriol Romeuhis only man in that position.
