Since the "heroes' reception" that Xavi Hernandez received upon his return to the "Camp Nou" a few days ago, Barcelona fans are looking forward to the new coach as the "waited savior", and the hope that will extricate their team from a tragic reality they have lived in recent months, under the leadership of the coach. The former, Ronald Koeman.
It seems that Xavi is not wasting his time trying to restore a team that is on the verge of cracking as a result of a severe financial crisis that made it lose its legendary star Lionel Messi, who was forcibly left weeks ago.
According to what was published by the newspaper "Marca", the next transfer period, in January, will be crowded for Blaugrana, as it is reported that Xavi is planning to quickly strengthen his team's attack, and focus his eyes on the English capital, London, specifically Chelsea, the leader of the "Premier League".
"Marca" says that Xavi is seeking to conclude "loan deals", and has already identified 3 players from Chelsea who could be "available" to him, the young American Christian Pulisic, the Moroccan Hakim Ziyech and the Englishman Callum Hudson-Odoi.
According to Diario Sport, Barcelona is already monitoring the three players, and they are all participating for a few minutes under the current coach of the "Blues" Thomas Tuchel.
And "Marca" believes that Pulisic may be keen to complete the move to Barca, after the minutes of his participation this season with the "Blues" have decreased, as well as the possibility of playing next to his American colleague Sergino Dest.
Several reports in the past have linked Ziyech to the Catalan giant, but the move to "Camp Nou" did not happen.
As for Odoi, 21, it may suit him to move to Barcelona to get more chances with the England national team before the 2022 World Cup, knowing that he is participating in an acceptable way with the "Blues" this season.
The loan deals seem appropriate for both parties, especially Barcelona, which is in financial difficulty, and seeks to enhance its offensive options at the lowest possible cost, while Chelsea officials may be convinced of the importance of providing the opportunity for players who do not participate continuously, in order to gain valuable experience in a team the size of Barcelona.
Xavi has already succeeded in bringing former Barcelona star Dani Alves back to Barcelona a few days ago, and there were reports of a possible return to Thiago Alcantara from Liverpool, which means that we will see a completely different team for Barcelona in the second half of the season, if Xavi succeeds in his ambitious plan.
