With a significant blow to Barcelona's midfield, a season-ending ACL injury sidelines Gavi until the summer of 2024.
The youngster's extended absence has reshaped priorities for Blaugrana ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window.
While initially eyeing Vitor Roque's registration as a top priority, the Catalans will have to resolve a dilemma now: should they add a much-needed midfielder to replace Gavi or persist in the pursuit of Roque? The club's financial constraints won't allow to squeeze two new players into the budget.
As a solution, Barca are contemplating recalling Pablo Torre from his loan at Girona, as per Diario Sport. The 20-year-old's barely been given any minutes at the new club, only starting once in 8 games he played this season.
However, the final decision rests with Xavi, who wasn't overly impressed with Torre's performances last season. Whether he will give the youngster a second chance under the new circumstances remains to be seen.
