“I’ve closely observed the Manchester City players this season, and one of them perfectly fits Barcelona’s style. We’re prepared to meet his price. Pep Guardiola is an inexperienced coach and can’t manage them well,” affirmed Barcelona Manager Xavi, confirming Barca’s keen interest and readiness to make a substantial offer for a City outcast player.

Barcelona has begun searching for midfield reinforcements due to recent injuries affecting the team. Gavi, a promising young player, recently suffered a significant injury, and Pedri, another midfielder, was revealed to have sustained an injury just yesterday.

Scouts from the reigning Spanish champions are reportedly monitoring Kalvin Phillips of Manchester City, as reported by Barça Universal. There are expectations that the midfielder could join the team as early as January.

The 28-year-old player has only appeared in seven matches this season and has had limited playing time, indicating a challenging situation for Phillips within the City squad.

His transfer is anticipated to cost around 49 million euros.

Previously mentioned, Barcelona’s strategy involves seeking a temporary solution for their midfield woes by acquiring a player on loan until the current season concludes, thus avoiding paying a transfer fee.
