DEFINITIVE CHANGE OF PLANS?
Gavi's injury could change Barça's plans with Vitor Roque for January
Gavi's injury forces FC Barcelona to change plans for the winter transfer market. The Blaugrana will have to look for a player to take over and Vitor Roque could be the main 'injured'
The injury of Gavi has altered all the plans of the FC Barcelona, in all the senses. The midfield player aims to be, like minimum, eight months in the infirmary by a "complete break of the ligament crossed previous of the right knee and an injury associated to the external meniscus" and will have to go through the operating theatre, as it confirmed the club in his medical part. His drop supposes a big setback for Xavi Hernández, the one who considered him a player intocable in his plans.
The case is that the group culé does not have time to remain regretting and will have to take action. To finish the season, the trainer egarense will explain only with Pedri González, Ílkay Gündogan, Oriol Romeu, Sergi Roberto and Fermín López, in addition to the alternatives that can 'go up' from the inferior categories of the club. From the club, before the injury of Gavi, already had in mind the possibility to bet by a mediocentro in the market of wintry signings.
'Sportive world' has explained that the technical body culé, led by Xavi Hernández, of face to the market of January has like priority do with the incorporation of an interior. Already to the staff is missing him a 'hit' of quality and are evaluating several profiles, from the possibility to bring of turn to Pablo Tower, the one who is not standing out neither having regularity in the Girona, until the possibility to go out to the market to look for to a midfield player 'low cost'.
Change of radical stage in the Barça
It supposes a big effort for the Catalans, that do not cross by a positive economic moment and that they will have to prioritise. In this order of ideas, the landing of Vitor Roque follows being in the air. Already they had a lot of doubts regarding the possibility that it arrived to beginnings of 2024, but now there is even more. The option that it postpone his incorporation takes much more weight after the injury of Gavi.
Like this then , although the priority always has been to have the forward of 18 years, the history can give a twist importantísimo. It is more than predictable that in the next days there is a meeting with the representatives of the sportive area to define the leaf of route in the market of wintry signings... Because yes or if it will be necessary to achieve to a relief for Gavi, like this was through a loan to the end of the season.
