Barcelona is going through a football moment that keeps fans and also the players and coaching staff themselves uneasy. Xavi Hernández cannot find his way to the level he wants and will appeal to the January transfer market to see new faces and achieve at least one title. Although he remains in fourth position in LaLiga and in the Champions League he has already secured classification, he has not yet shown the good game that represents Barça so much in its philosophy.
Last weekend, those led by Xavi left points during their visit to Rayo Vallecano on the fourteenth day of the local championship. It was a 1-1 draw and it came late for the Blaugranas, as they were behind on the scoreboard for much of the game. The same thing happened against Alavés, but he managed to defeat them 2-1 with nothing left over.
One of the weakest positions is the one left at the end of the season by Sergio Busquets. To replace him, they signed Oriol Romeu, who was coming off a good year with Girona, but since he arrived at Barça he still hasn't measured up, much less demonstrated any of the good things he has been doing. Furthermore, he is the player who is most criticized among Barcelona fans. For this reason, Barcelona is looking for reinforcement in his position.
The first target for the Spanish club is none other than Joshua Kimmich, world club champion with Bayern Munich, where he has a large part of his career. Xavi is delighted with the player and it is no coincidence that he once again insists on the German. According to information from the newspaper 'As', it is the Barça coach's top priority.
The problem is in the money
Although Kimmich has a contract with the Bavarian team until mid-2025, the midfielder's current value is very high for the Catalans: according to Transfermarkt he is valued at 75 million euros. However, Barça will have to make adjustments to complete signings during the month of January and thus be able to add new faces.
