A few days ago, according to Spain's "fichajes" reported that Barcelona is preparing for a big deal with Chelsea in the upcoming winter window, they hope to get three players from the Blues, Xavi's target is the two major defenders Azpilicueta and Rudiger, and to get these players, Barca also need to face a lot of problems.
Barcelona's winter window is bound to be replenished, Xavi is very dissatisfied with the team's current lineup, although Garvey turned out, coupled with Coutinho's state has recovered, Barca has enough personnel in midfield, but the defense and forward line are in urgent need of fresh blood because of injuries. Barca boss Xavi has three big men eyeing, coincidentally all from Chelsea.
The first is the defence, with Pique and Alba injured and the team's defence now conceding 19 goals in 16 rounds, so Barca are looking to bring in a full-back and a centre-back, Chelsea's current two-back contract is about to expire next summer, so Barca are considering taking the opportunity to get them in the winter window at a smaller cost. However, it is also difficult to get these two people, Azpilicueta is fine, Rudiger asked for an annual salary of 10 million euros, which is nearly 3 times his current annual salary (about 3.5 million euros). In barca's current situation, meeting Rudiger's annual salary is a difficult point that Barça needs to face.
On the front line, Barca want to introduce a winger, Xavi is looking at the Blues' frontcourt all-rounder Pulisic, Pulisic first diagnosed the new crown this season, and then because of the knee suspension for more than 2 months, November to pay, and then he also lost the main position, so Barca believes that the winter window is a good opportunity to get the US international. But Chelsea got Pulisic after all, it cost 64 million euros of real money, and now his value on the German "Transfer Market" website is also 50 million euros, so convincing Chelsea to reduce the price is the second difficulty facing Barca. Barca's plan is to rent first and buy later, after all, this move can still reduce the cost of reinforcements this season.
Laporta and Xavi are now also helpless, the team's financial embarrassment, the lineup continues to add, so see chelsea have the right people to add them to the chase list, but Chelsea is also a team to play in the third line, the winter window to let go of three players will also be a bit hurt, so to convince Chelsea, Barca still need to do a lot of work.
