Barcelona, which is experiencing a crisis in its attacking sector, has forced Xavi Hernandez to look for faces in the 2022 winter transfer window, in order to further strengthen the composition of his squad.
Indeed, Xavi already has his main target player, namely Juventus player, Alvaro Morata. Reportedly, the Blaugrana have an interest in bringing him to Camp Nou on loan and have a permanent option at the end of the season.
Previously, Morata’s chance to return to play in the La Liga competition had sounded wide. Because, he was claimed to be considering terminating the contract, a loan two years and six months early with the Bianconeri.
However, Barca’s hopes in fact must be tightly closed. Because, Massimiliano Allegri as coach of La Vecchia Signora, emphasized that the Spaniard will not leave the city of Turin.
“I want to provide information that Alvaro (Morata) stays here and will not leave Juventus. This is a final decision from the club,” said Allegri, quoted from Football Espana.
Juventus board and Massimiliano Allegri met with Álvaro Morata today to tell they’re prepared to keep him until the end of the season if they can’t find a new striker on loan. ⚪️ #Juventus

It’s been difficult to sign Morata, Barcelona might start to shift their interest to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, considering his condition at Arsenal is not clear and Xavi could take advantage of that.
