We are a little over a month away from the January transfer window, which has suddenly become a crucial one for Barcelona as the club tries to deal with the loss of midfielder Gavi for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL and meniscus in his knee.
Naturally the rumor mill has linked the Blaugrana with a number of different midfield options, from Bruno Guimarães to Giovani Lo Celso and everyone else in between. Other reports seem to suggest Barça will trust the youth with Fermín López and Marc Casadó set to play increased roles for the first team, but the truth is we simply don’t know what Barça’s strategy will be as we approach January.
