La Liga giants Barcelona will consider dipping into the winter market for reinforcements in just one position with a view to the 2nd half of the campaign.
This comes amid confirmation of the Blaugrana ramping up their search for a new central defender.
The subject of Hansi Flick’s options at centre-back has of course reemerged as a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital across the week to date.
As much comes after Ronald Araújo endured his latest outing to forget, sent off en route to a 3-0 Champions League drubbing at the hands of Chelsea.
Barca, all told, have failed to recover from the departure of Iñigo Martínez over the summer.
And with this in mind, Deco and co. have kicked into gear a search for fresh blood at the heart of defence.
As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, so urgent is the situation considered, that:
‘Of the three positions (they want to strengthen), centre-back is the only one Barça would try to address this coming January, although the club considers it unlikely to happen.’
