Joao Felix to Thiago – A quick look at Barcelona’s plans in the transfer market

FC Barcelona find themselves in 4th position in La Liga. The defending league champions have not been at their best for the majority of the first half of the season and will look to bring things in order with the help of the January transfer window. Even though the club is currently managing a financial ‘bottleneck’, news of plans in the transfer market has been circulating.

Despite of his stellar start at the club, Joao Felix may end up leaving the club at the end of his loan deal. Even though his initial form at the club sparked conversation of a permanent deal, he has been largely inconsistent ever since. He only has six goals and 3 assists to show for his 29 outings in all competitions with the club. News of Xavi being heavily unimpressed with the Portuguese is also no secret.

Former Barcelona midfielder and Liverpool player Thiago Alcantara is heavily linked with a move back to the club. Xavi is desperate to bring him in January following a series of injuries at the club. Gavi is out with an ACL injury while Frenkie de Jong and Pedri have also struggled with fitness. Oriol Romeu, who was brought in to replace Sergio Busquets has been heavily underwhelming since his arrival in the summer. De Jong, who was initially linked with a move to Manchester United, has pledged his allegiance to the Blaugrana.
