Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández is focused on improving his squad for the upcoming season and has identified the need to sign midfielders who fit his style of play. The central midfield position is crucial in his plans, and he is considering the possibility of bringing in Giovani Lo Celso.
Lo Celso, an Argentine player, fits into Barcelona's plans and is in a unique situation. He has been on loan at Villarreal for two years from Tottenham and is set to return to England this summer. Although he has a contract with Spurs until 2025, his current market value is only 14 million EUR due to injuries that have affected his performance with the Yellow Submarine.
Barcelona's priorities are focused on reinforcing the defensive midfield position in the absence of Sergio Busquets. That position is a priority, and if it is necessary to pay a transfer fee for a player, it will be to cover that position, as Xavi considers it essential to maintain the competitive level that the team showed in January.
Xavi understands the financial situation of the club and is aware that they cannot make big investments due to salary limitations. However, the coach highlights the team's deficiencies and requests the necessary reinforcements. Lo Celso is an attacking midfielder who technically fits his aspirations and can contribute a lot to Barcelona in various situations.
Lo Celso's future will largely depend on the new Tottenham coach, Greco-Australian Ange Postecoglou, who will decide whether the player has a place in the team or if it will be necessary to find him an exit.
