Although Barcelona is in a very bad financial situation, the Catalans know that in order to resolve this situation, they must finish the season in one of the first four places that lead to the Champions League next season.
For that to happen, Xavi is working hard to strengthen his staff and as it appears from reports across the continent, he is very close to doing so.
Today (Thursday) it is reported that Adama Traore, a Wolves player and who grew up in Barça's youth department is close to a comeback to the Camp Nou.
The 26-year-old winger will arrive in the loan deal from the English without a purchase obligation and he will be able to sign up for the squad after agreeing to cut his salary to return to his youth team.
It also looks like Barça will also strengthen the defensive squad when one of the two arrives: Ajax's Argentine Nicolas Tagliafico or Alex Grimaldo, who also grew up in Barcelona and has moved to Benfica in recent years.
Xavi sees the two as a significant backup to Jordi Alba who is in a mediocre season for him.
