The azulgrana team has added four reinforcements in the January market, highlighting the new names in attack along with Daniel Alves, who adds up for the right side. These incorporations can stop appearances of homegrown players who had been adding minutes.
FC Barcelona has acquired Ferran Torres (55+10M), Pierre-Émerick Aubameyang (free), Adama Traoré (on loan with a 30M purchase option) and Daniel Alves (free), although the Brazilian arrived months ago and made his debut with the beginning of the year. With these four names, you have a new offensive trio and an effective right lane on defense who can start.
Xavi Hernández took over the reins at the Camp Nou at the beginning of November 2021. Since then, he has made 14 appearances with six wins, four draws and four losses. The results have not finished accompanying, but in some contests some changes have begun to be seen at the level of sensations.
With the first market from Egarense on the bench, Joan Laporta and the rest of the directors have worked to strengthen the squad. The first three mentioned can occupy the three offensive positions thanks to their versatility, although it is true that we will commonly see the Gabonese at the top and the Spaniards on the wings. It may be another option to see the African on the left, the one on loan on the right and the one signed in the middle. There are records.
This will imply more competition for Memphis Depay, Martin Braithwaite, Luuk De Jong or Ousmane Dembélé, but it will also translate into fewer options for Ansu Fati, depending on how his recovery progresses, Ez Abde or Ferran Jutglà, who had been having chances in the matches directed by the current technician. The same will happen with Óscar Mingueza with the arrival of Daniel Alves, given that Sergiño Dest does not finish convincing him.
In Can Barça they are aware that it was necessary to reinforce the offensive plot for the remainder of the season. At the moment, the team is in fifth place in LaLiga, one point behind Atlético de Madrid, whom they host this weekend. After the Cup elimination, in these months it remains to secure fourth place in the domestic competition and play a good role in the Europa League.
