Bakambu became Barca's candidate for reinforcements waiting for Xavi's final decision

According to a number of foreign media reports, La Liga giants Barca intend to replace the team's central striker Luke De Jong in January. Especially after the injury of depay, Fati and other main players in the offensive line, Barca urgently need to find new stable attack points.

In the shortlist, Juve striker Morata is Barca's number one target, but Morata's form has recovered recently, and Juve began to hesitate to let the Spaniard go. And team coach Allegri said in an interview that Morata will not leave the team in the winter window.

So Bakambu has become a potential candidate for Barcelona's reinforcements, and it is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Bakambu has been associated with the media. As early as Bakambu's time in national security, there were media reports that his transfer to Barcelona was close to success, but in the end, unfortunately, it did not come to fruition.

Barca were hampered by financial constraints on wage space last summer until the final day of the summer window when they were loaned to Sevilla striker Luc De Jong. De Jong did not play well, scoring only two goals in 13 games, so barca still want to end the loan early in the face of the current team's manpower problems.

Bakambu, 30, joined Beijing Guoan from Villarreal in 2018, scoring 58 goals in 87 appearances for Guoan, and although his ability to seize opportunities is lacking, Bakambu's speed, ability to carry the ball and smell in front of goal are exactly what Barca need.
