Xavi Hernandez, the coach of Barcelona, is persistent in his intention to strengthen the midfield of his team, and Martin Zubimendi is announced as the first option.
This news was confirmed by the Spanish journalist, Alfredo Martinez, who claims that the only way for the reliable rear midfielder to come to Camp Nou is if he pays compensation to Real Sociedad.
As further reported by the Spanish media, the team from San Sebastian valued Zubimendi at 60,000,000 euros, which is a problem for Barca, which is in an unenviable financial situation.
The only way to get funds for the transfer is by selling. The first name on the transfer list is Rafinha, who has not made a name for himself since arriving at Barcelona and is currently not Xavi Hernandez’s first choice.
Along with the Brazilian, Christensen can be expected to change the midfield in January, as well as Alonso.
