FC Barcelona will need to rectify the situation in 2024. After a disappointing first part of the season, the Catalans will be able to count on Vitor Roque, who arrived with great fanfare several days ago. Even if the Brazilian striker should not revolutionize the club's game, he should allow Xavi to benefit from more tactical room for maneuver for Barça's next games. And after the 19th day of La Liga against Las Palmas and a 16th final of the Copa del Rey against Union Deportivo Barbastro, Jules Koundé's teammates will travel to Saudi Arabia for the Final Four of the Spanish Super Cup against Osasuna on January 11 next.
The Catalan coach could also benefit from a suitable return for this summit meeting. Indeed, according to the Iberian press, Pedri could be there in the Gulf in around ten days. While the Spanish midfielder was injured before the last match against Almeria in the league, he is following a rehabilitation program which should allow him to potentially play in a possible final on January 14. This would certainly be very good news for FC Barcelona and everything seems to be in the player's hands.
