Barcelona is preparing for a revolution this summer. Xavi told the sports department that he wants to turn the team around like a sock, but he is the first to know that everything depends on the financial situation of the club. And everything indicates that this will not be very prosperous. No matter how much work can be done, Barcelona will not be crazy.
In the midst of the war economy, you have to be practical. Imaginative. Try to find solutions that can help salvage the situation while waiting for better times.
In this case, the normal thing is for Xavi to try to find solutions to his team’s shortcomings within what he already has. There are some players who have been loaned this season or have not played a leadership role for various reasons that could be important next year. These names can solve a lot in some situations, which would allow the club to allocate the funds available for reinforcements that are really necessary.
Here we review some of the names Xavi could consider for this work. What if the solution is Already within Barcelona?
Inaki Bina
He called the man to play a significant in the next Barcelona. The club has been trying to release Neto for some time, but he has not been able to do so. Resolving the role of a substitute goalkeeper with a player from the team, which was also strengthened this year with a lucrative loan, would be an ideal process for the Catalans.
Baldi
Xavi wants two high-ranking men in every position. As an introduction, it’s pretty good, but then the truth will force us to lower the bar. The left-back is the position Barcelona have been searching for a man for years to find a rival to Jordi Alba. Everyone who tried, failed to try. In the end, one of L’Hospitalet is one of the best in the world in his position. Against Getafe, Balde, like the whole team, was much less than what is expected of Barcelona. However, it might be an option to cover Alba’s back…and allow the club to spend its quarters in other areas of the pitch.
Gavi
His role in Barcelona’s future is indisputable. In fact, he is progressing little by little and has started several matches this season. Once any of the starting theorists (Busquets, Pedri, De Jong) lower their performances, Gavi can appear more. Not to mention he can also play offensively. Saving is no longer an option. Everything is very good.
Nico
He has fallen behind, although he has Xavi’s confidence. Next season should take the last step forward. He can play in all three midfield positions, so between him and Gavi, as well as Kessié’s arrival, the midfield problem has to be covered. Another thing is if Frenkie de Jong came out…
Ansu Fati
Next season should, once and for all, be the one in which Ansu Fati shows if he is able to lead Barcelona’s attack. He can play in all three positions of the trident. If that number “9” is not achieved, it may be the man who shared this responsibility with Aubameyang.
If he’s okay, he should be the team’s left winger.
