Xavi breaks his silence and shocks the President of Barcelona with a stern decision. Barcelona is going through a major injury crisis, in addition to the club’s financial fair play restrictions imposed by the League.
Barcelona are finding it difficult to sign contracts for some of their players or secure new deals due to the Financial Fair Play Law.
Following the injury of Osman Dembele and the departure of Memphis Depay, Barcelona are missing important elements in the team, especially in the offensive line led by Polish star Robert Lewandowski.
Ousmane Dembele injured
Dembele was seriously injured during a Getafe match in the Spanish league, in his left thigh, and according to the schedule, he will be absent from a month to a month and a half.
Barcelona will miss the player’s services in many competitions, in La Liga, the Europa League and the Copa del Rey.
Today’s draw has turned into an expected heated showdown between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final, with Osman likely to miss the second leg.
Date of Real Madrid’s match against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final
The first match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will take place on Sunday, March 1 or 2, at the Bernabes Stadium.
The second leg between Barcelona and Real Madrid will take place in April at Camp Nou.
Xavi breaks silence and shocks Barcelona president with strict decision
According to journalist Helena Condes, Barcelona coach Javi Hernandez asked to strengthen the club’s flank position, especially after Depay’s departure and Dembele’s injury.
The journalist confirmed that some agents have contacted Barcelona, but the task seems to be very difficult due to financial fair play restrictions.
Journalist Gerard Romero also confirmed that Xavi had asked the Juan Laporta-led club to sign Safaki at least until the end of the winter transfer market.
And, according to RadioCat, Barcelona are constantly trying to get out of the crisis and secure a contract with a wing in the current market.
