Barcelona have set a low bar for the January transfer window with the main target – report

Barcelona were stretched to the limit this summer, as they had to rely on injuries to Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen to be able to sign Pau Victor and Dani Olmo via an emergency rule. They have since brought in Wojciech Szczesny to replace Marc-Andre ter Stegen on the same basis.

Despite the “good work” described by the president Joan Laporta and the president of the Liga Javier Tebas, Barcelona remains well above its salary limit, and with little margin for the operation, they say. Sport. With this in mind, the Sporting Deco Director is unlikely to be able to do much in the transfer window.

The main objective is to get it alone Andreas Christensen back from injury, and registered, giving Hansi Flick depth in defense. Although Ronald Araujo is expected to return soon, the use of Jules Kounde at right back, and Eric Garcia in midfield, has left Flick with fewer options than anticipated. On several occasions, he called Sergio Dominguez from Barca Atletic as a result.

It should be noted that the day of the Catalan say that Christensen must be registered again, although many other outlets claim that in fact it is Olmo and Victor who must be registered in January instead. Certainly Araujo is expected to return once he recovers from injury, and the same is expected of Christensen.
