To compete for the Champions League, the two Premier League stars that Xavi asks for

FC Barcelona hopes to close 2024 in the best possible way. The Catalan team finally qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League, after 2 years absent from said stages. The Cule team now hopes to be the protagonist in this edition, however, it must reinforce its lines and make the best possible use of its most outstanding elements. Given this situation, Xavi would have already requested two reinforcements from the board.

The European football transfer market always gives something to talk about, and on this occasion, Barcelona has turned its attention to the Premier League with two clear objectives. According to the latest information, the Catalan club has its sights on Marcus Rashford, from Manchester United, and Bruno Guimaraes, from Newcastle. This news has generated great expectation among Barcelona fans and has made the Blaugrana team's ambition evident.

One of the names that stands out the most in this search is Marcus Rashford. The English winger of Manchester United has been an outstanding player in the English league and in his country's national team. Reports suggest that Manchester United would be willing to negotiate for Rashford, which could facilitate his arrival at the Camp Nou. Rashford's speed and scoring ability would be a valuable addition to Barcelona's attack, which seeks to strengthen itself after a season in which it did not achieve the desired titles.

The other reinforcement that Xavi asks for

On the other hand, 'Calciomercato' also suggests that Barcelona has set its interest in Bruno Guimaraes, Newcastle's talented Brazilian midfielder. However, negotiations regarding Guimaraes seem to be getting complicated. Unlike Rashford, Newcastle are not willing to speak for the midfielder, considering him an extremely important piece for the club. Guimaraes' ability in the center of the field, his vision of the game and his ability to recover balls have made him a fundamental pillar in his team's scheme.
