Still at a low ebb, but Xavi Hernandez is continuing to reassemble his squad to get the season underway again.

One of the primary objectives is to sign a right-back either in January or in the summer, but there will likely be no more additions in this position. That is why Barça are considering renewing Sergi Roberto for another year, although this will heavily rely on how the season ends.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Dalot's friendship could help Barca - SPORT
