7 Players Xavi Hernandez Wants To Sign

7 Players Xavi Hernandez Wants To Sign

Although Barcelona's financial situation could see them struggle to sign new players, Xavi Hernandez's seven-man transfer wish list has seemingly been revealed ahead of the coming window.

Impressive improvements were made following Xavi's appointment at the Catalan club late last year, with the Blaugrana finishing the 2021/22 season second in LaLiga after it initially seemed that qualifying for the UEFA Champions League would be difficult.

The January arrivals of the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres bolstered the team's attack, leaving fans hopeful that further tweaks could see Barcelona return to the top of European football.

While their economic troubles continue, Xavi is still said to be assessing which personnel changes could inspire more positive change in the dressing room and on the field to make this materialise.

According to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, the ex-Barcelona player and captain has set his sights on seven players, although some targets are likely to only be signed should others make way.

Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva, for example, is admired by Xavi but might only become a realistic target if the sale of Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong is sanctioned ahead of next season.

The Spanish giants' interest in Leeds United and Brazil winger Raphinha also appears circumstantial as it would likely depend on whether or not Ousmane Dembele renews his stay at Barcelona or decides to depart when his contract runs out later this month.

In defence, several players appear to be in Xavi's thinking, including Chelsea duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.

While the former has had an extension of a further year on his deal triggered, it is believed he can still leave in the coming weeks if the London club allows him to, making him a realistic option for Barca, while the latter still has a year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Up front, it is understood that Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski is pushing for the Bavarians to sell him in the coming window, with Barcelona widely believed to be his destination should that happen.
