After injury chaos, Barcelona prioritises signing a midfielder before the deadline

Barcelona's injury concerns deepened last night when the club lost Marc Bernal to a serious cruciate ligament injury in their victory over Rayo Vallecano.

The young midfielder's long-term injury overshadowed the club's narrow win against Rayo and many assumed the player would be out for months.

This is a huge blow for Barcelona, ​​especially considering the young midfielder's start and his form in recent weeks, with many even calling him the ideal long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets.

Barcelona focuses on signing the midfielder

Shortly after Bernal's injury was announced, Jose Alvarez claimed to El Chiringuito that Barcelona are “doing something” to fix their midfield problems.

According to Alvarez, the Catalans are examining the possibility of strengthening their midfield.

Barcelona's main objective is to mitigate the recent loss of Bernal and find a temporary solution for the pivot position.

After the victory against Rayo, Hansi Flick noted that no one in FC Barcelona's dressing room was happy about Bernal's injury.

The fact that the Catalans sold Ilkay Gündogan, Sergi Roberto and Oriol Romeu this summer does not help their cause either.

Alvarez, however, makes it clear that much could depend on Financial Fair Play regulations, especially given that Barça has already had difficulties registering players for the squad.

With just a few days left until the end of the transfer market, Barcelona are running out of time as the team desperately searches for a last-minute reinforcement for their midfield.
