Xavi Hernández has asked the club to start working on the possibility of incorporating the replacement for Memphis Depay as soon as possible. After the discard of Pierre Emerick Aubameyangdue to the impossibility of registering it in LaLiga as it cannot process three operations in the same season, and that of Yannick Carrascoas the barter with Atlético did not materialize, the name that appears on the list of possible reinforcements for this winter market is the Portuguese striker Gonçalo Guedes.
As AS has learned, the now Wolverhampton winger has already spoken with Xavi Hernández and he has shown great interest in the project that the Spanish coach has sold him. Also, the fact that your agent is jorge mendesa man with a great ancestry with the president Joan Laporta, could help to end up closing.
Obviously, andhe Barcelona is very limited because of the fair play financial, so it will raise the possibility of a six-month loan to the Wolves, with a non-mandatory purchase option this summer.
For Barcelona, the arrival of Guedes would mean a leap in quality in the attack and a reinforcement in the left lane, where he does not have a natural winger, since neither Ferran Torres nor Ansu Fati are.
The next step now is to reach an agreement with Wolverhampton. Here, Barcelona relies on Mendes’ good relations with the English club to reach an agreement.
