The January transfer window is ever so close to being shut down with 10 days left for clubs to get their transfers over the line.
Barcelona took the opportunity of the open window to register Vitor Roque, handing him the no. 19 shirt. Any new signings after the Brazilian look unlikely.
But here are a few things Barca could do before the window closes.
Sign a midfielder on loan
Xavi has reportedly told the higher-ups at Barcelona that he needs a midfielder to cover the void left by Gavi's injury.
Players like Kalvin Phillips, Giovani Lo Celso and Aleix Garcia have all been looked at but as it stands unless there's an opportunity to sign such players on loan simply won't happen.
Barcelona sporting director Deco recently said Barca simply doesn't have the FFP margin to spend any money now.
Recall a loanee
Barcelona could recall one of their loanees if they're truly desperate about beefing up their midfield options.
The only midfielder that comes to mind in that regard is Pablo Torre. The youngster is having a brilliant season helping Girona fight for La Liga. Recalling Torre might even give Barca some sort of edge over Girona in the title race. But Torre isn't a defensive midfielder which makes that option somewhat unlikely.
Barcelona might've counted on a player like Nico Gonzalez at a time like this but the Spaniard was sold permanently to FC Porto where he's gradually beginning to find his foot.
