A few days ago, according to Spain's "Mr. Footballer", Barca coach Xavi proposed to the club a list of reinforcements for the summer window, two of which are the highest priority, namely Wolves' Ruben Neves and Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, Xavi believes that these two players are the short board that Barca's summer window urgently needs to be replenished.
Xavi's record this season is not ideal, with a total record of only 10 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses, a win rate of 50%, and an average of 1.8 points per game, but in La Liga the record is 8 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, which is still reasonable overall. However, it is an indisputable fact that Barca's squad needs to be strengthened, and Xavi also proposed a key list to the club, in which Xavi proposed two names with the highest priority, that is, front-back Wiltz and back-back Ruben Neves.
In Harvey's view, the Red and Blue midfielders lack a direct threat, and Wielz is the ideal candidate for Harvey, the 18-year-old German talent international has shown a very strong attacking power, he has scored 10 goals and assisted 13 times in 28 games this season, which translates to about 92 minutes to produce a goal, which is extremely efficient. Only Wertz's contract expires in 2026, and his value is already as high as 70 million euros, and it must pay a large price to get him.
In addition to attacking midfield, the other position is the back, Barca captain Busquets is 34 years old and needs a new replacement, while Xavi recommends Ruben Neves of Premier League Wolves. Neves has been with Wolves for four and a half seasons, but unfortunately he signed a long contract with Wolves, and the contract will not expire until 2024, and his value is 40 million euros, which is also a big expense for Barca.
Xavi's vision is really good, and from the position and technical characteristics of these two people, it is more suitable for Barca. The key is that their value is high, in terms of value valuation, both of them have reached 110 million euros, and Barca must bleed heavily to get them, but this is obviously a big problem for Laporta.
