The FC Barcelona He has yet to improve his defense next season, since this season the level of several players is leaving much to be desired and, therefore, it is necessary to lean back and in this way begin to polish important defensive aspects for Xavi Hernandez. The Catalan coach was already expecting a new center-back in this January market, now over, but he will have to wait until next summer, to be able to get his hands on higher-level footballers, at the moment there are two outstanding players.
Another player that Xavi really likes and that they tried to bring in in January was César Azpilicueta, the captain of Chelsea. The Spanish international is not going to renew with the Londoners either, so he would come to the Catalan team for free. Despite being more lateral than central, lately we are seeing him in the center of the defense and performing at a great level, even scoring goals. He is a very good footballer defensively and who can also be a 2×1 signing since he would also cover the right-hand side. His salary is much more affordable than Christensen’s and he also wants to return to Spain.
