Barcelona will sign ‘at least’ one more player after from Vitor Roque in January – report

“It has often been a dream since childhood, not only for me but for my family as well. Today I am here for the first time to fulfill this dream. Victories, always the desire to win, as hard as possible, as much as possible, and I try to help the club.”

Vitor Roque’s first words after officially completing his signing for Barcelona echoed through the fans. There is a lot of pressure on the youngster, but he will also have a ton of support behind him.

And while he solves Barcelona goalscoring issues, at least in theory, the squad is still crying out for solutions in other areas of the pitch, especially central midfield. Gavi’s ACL tear has left a gaping hole in the team, which was already deprived of a natural pivot.

According to Jota Jordi, Barcelona will try to sign more players in January after Roque. “At least one more,” he assured.

What are Barcelona’s options?

Barcelona have not been linked with any specific players for the January window as their goal will be to bring in a player on loan, and not permanently.

Names such as Tottenham Hotspur’s Giovani Lo Celso is among options. Xavi is a huge fan of the Argentine, but his signing will be very difficult now, given his rising importance in the Spurs team under Ange Postecoglu.

Gabriel Moscardo was another player Barcelona were pursuing from Corinthians, but he seems to be on his way to PSG, who have completed his signing for around €25 million including all add-ons.

The Catalans were also considering moves for midfielders in the summer, some of whom are free agents after the season ends. Adrien Rabiot, Wilfred Ndidi, and Guido Rodriguez were on this list, and could be pursued in the winter on a slashed price.
