The Catalans sit top of the pile in La Liga after an impressive start to the
campaign.
However, their performances haven’t always been convincing and Messi
wants fresh faces added to the squad.
Spanish news outlet Don Balon say the Argentine superstar has got his
wish - but Barca need to lighten their wage bill first.
One face out of the door once the transfer window opens could be Paco
Alcacer.
Don Balon say the Spain international is happy to pack his bags in the
New Year in search of first-team football.
The 24-year-old is a peripheral figure at the Nou Camp and his lack of
game time is damaging his intentional prospects.
He’s been capped 13 times for his homeland and is keen to be on the
plane to Russia.
News of Alcacer’s impending
departure might be a boost to
Messi.
Reports have suggested the
influential forward has told
Valverde that his style is
incompatible with Alcacer.
Don Balon say Andre Gomes is also set to be offloaded.




The Portuguese has underwhelmed since joining the club from Valencia
and might be moved on.
Barca were desperate to sign Liverpool star Coutinho in the summer.
Don Balon reckon Barca remain firmly in the hunt for the Brazilian and
will set up their chase in January.
