Summary: Manchester City - Everton 0: 3 (Sport 1)

After beating Villarreal and remaining perfect in the league in the Xavi era, Barcelona are preparing for a game against Betis but are already thinking about the meeting against Bayern Munich, a meeting where only a victory will guarantee the Catalans a place in the last eight of the Champions League.

But the club's management is already thinking about January, the month in which the transfer window will open and quite a few changes are expected in the team in terms of personnel.

El Mundo reports today that Barcelona are fed up with the conduct of Osman Dembele, who has not yet extended his contract ending in June 2022. This means that if Dembele does not extend his contract until January, he will be able to leave for free and Barça intend to give him an ultimatum: sign the new contract until 15 a month or sit in the stands At Barça it is believed that Dembele himself wants to stay with Xavi, but his agent confuses him and demands a high commission for signing.

So who will come instead of Dembele?

"Sport" claims that the Catalans, who are in a very bad financial situation, will put most of the "eggs" on Fran Torres and are close to reaching an agreement with Manchester City on the striker's loan, with an option to buy for 40 million euros.

According to the report Torres is quite closed at Barça, with contacts between the parties very advanced and Pep Guardiola will not prevent the Spaniard from leaving.

Another player who is in Barcelona's sights is Cesar Espiliquata.

Xavi, according to reports, is not closed on Serginio Dest and is interested in backing at the right-back position.

After signing 32-year-old Danny Elbas' 32-year-old Espiliquata, who is ending his contract at the end of the year, he could arrive at Barça in the summer on a free transfer.

Dest gets a lot less minutes from Xavi, who also preferred Mingsa as a right-back and it is possible that the Chelsea captain will solve the problem in this position, which has remained problematic since the departure of Danny Alves.
