DBasia.news – The search for a new Barcelona striker is still ongoing. Recently, Chelsea’s spearhead has entered the list of candidates.
The front line is indeed a priority sector that Barcelona’s new coach, Xavi Hernandez, wants to fix. He is still dissatisfied with the current line of attackers.
Barcelona’s front row currently only relies on the sharpness of Memphis Depay and Ansu Fati. While other names such as Luuk de Jong and Martin Braithwaite still perform below standard.
Barcelona’s problems increased after Sergio Aguero’s heart problems. The Argentinean striker must be out for the next three months to recover his condition.
This condition has made Xavi plan to bring in a new striker in January. However, he was constrained by limited spending funds.
In this situation, a loan scheme is the most realistic option. Edinson Cavani was mentioned as the main target.
But Cavani is quite challenging to bring in. His strength is still very much needed by Manchester United.
According to Marca’s report, Xavi is now aiming for another target. Timo Werner became the figure in question.
Xavi is quite confident with Barcelona’s chances of signing Werner. The current condition of the German striker was the main reason.
Werner is still struggling to win a place in the Chelsea main squad. Even though he needed playing time to be signed by the German national team to the 2022 World Cup.
Playing for Barcelona is certainly one option that would be hard to refuse by Werner. It is possible that his career will improve by moving to Camp Nou.
But Barcelona’s ambition to sign Werner will not be easily realized. Chelsea will think twice about letting him go as they yet to have a suitable replacement.
