Barcelona have signed Raphinha from Leeds, according to Fabrizio Romano. Add the winger to Ousmane Dembele who just renewed plus Ansu Fati and you get a deadly Barca attack.
Xavi could make that attack even more devastating by adding a ruthless finisher to the mix in the number 9 position.
That might explain why Barcelona are pressing all the buttons necessary to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich.
Here’s what Barca’s best XI could look like with Raphinha, Dembele and Fati and Lewandowski.
As you can see, this system will only work with Fati playing directly behind the striker.
Xavi would also have to sacrifice a holding midfield position to accommodate the attacking midfielder – Fati.
Barcelona would be a fearsome attacking team, but a bit vulnerable to counterattacks – unless Kessie and Pedri are prepared to do a lot of running.
