Xavi Hernandez: why is he going after players that Barcelona cannot afford?

Xavi Hernandez's return to Barcelona is no longer news but the news generating around him are of players he could use and his transfer targets, many of whom are outrageously expensive for the club.

He will have to make do with the players he met on ground, many of whom are on the injury list and Sergio Aguero is uncertain of his future in professional soccer due to his heart condition that will keep him out for at least three months.

Xavi has highlighted Manchester United's Paul Pogba, RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo, Sevilla's Jules Koundé and Manchester City's Raheem Sterling, all of whom would cost a combined £175m and their wages are certainly out of the club's reach.

He is also said to be interested in one of Chelsea's three wingers; Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi. The new reports via Football365 suggests Xavi wants Mohamed Salah at all cost amid his contract situation at Liverpool.
