#4 Raphaël Guerreiro

The second person whom the Catalans are contemplating on bringing over to Spain is Borussia Dortmund‘s Raphael Guerreiro. The Portuguese left-back is one of the best in the game at the moment however, he has been plagued with injuries this season and the German side often had to adapt to playing without him. He is a versatile left-back who has the ability to play as a left midfielder as well. His style is similar to Jordi Alba’s and the number of assists under his belt shows us that he is an extremely important player for BVB.

While reports suggest that Barca are ready to negotiate for the player via loan move in January, it will be very surprising if the deal actually goes through. He is one of the starters for the Bundesliga team and there is no way they would want to sell him or even loan him in the middle of the season. He has been out of many games due to injury however, he is back now and has been pushed back into the team. While bringing Guerreiro into the team would be massive for the Catalans, it is almost impossible for him to move in January.
