Breaking news, Barcelona and Tottenham could swap these two stars in shocking move

Barcelona received this week a terrible news. During the first half of the match between the Spanish national team and Georgia, Gavi jumped to dispute the ball with an opposing player and, when he fell, his knee was in an unnatural position. This caused him so much pain that he had to be replaced and, after a few hours, the medical studies gave the most feared result: he suffered a serious injury in his right knee that will prevent him from playing between six and eight months.

This caused a problem for Xavi Hernandez. The coach considered Gavi a key player for the team and now he will lose him for the rest of the season. That is why there are rumors about the possible hiring of another midfielder to take his place.

The main target is Giovani Lo Celso. The Tottenham player has been on Barcelona's radar for years, and it is even rumored that Lionel Messi, Lo Celso's teammate in the Argentine National Team, recommended Xavi to add him to the team. In fact, until the last days of the summer transfer window there was speculation about his possible signing.

At Spurs the midfielder has not had much participation this season, but now things could change for him. This is because James Maddison suffered a serious ankle injury that will prevent him from playing for several weeks and coach Ange Postecoglou might give opportunities to the Argentine player.

Maybe they can negotiate

While Barcelona are interested in Giovani Lo Celso, Tottenham are keen to sign a forward. Richarlison has shown disappointing performances and has also had physical problems, so Postecoglou needs more options. According to The Sun, one of those targeted is Barcelona winger Raphinha. In that case, perhaps the clubs can agree on a swap between the two players.
