"I would sacrifice Pedri for an 18-year-old Busquets to join us right now," Barca fan hazfcb tweets.
"Seriously though, can football produce another top-quality defensive midfielder please? We already painfully missed out on Tchouameni.
"There is not a single defensive midfielder in the squad and Gavi is the only ball winner, this is insane. Basically anybody can outclass us in midfield without Gavi," he adds.
Indeed, it feels like Barcelona are really missing a quality defensive midfielder who would transmit calmness on the ball while being also solid defensively. Oriol Romeu was supposed to be the one, but his form has massively downgraded since September. Marc Casado seems to be a raw talent.
Barca are said to be linked with Kalvin Phillips, but they would only be able to sign him if it's a simple loan without the obligation to pay him his salary. Xavi's preferred option is reportedly Martin Zubimendi who might only join the club in the summer.
❓ Could you sacrifice Pedri for a young Busquets' regen, though?
