Barcelona manager Xavi has openly acknowledged his past interest in signing Spanish striker Álvaro Morata. In a candid revelation, Xavi admitted to having conversations with Morata about the potential of bringing him to the Catalan club.
Xavi’s admiration for Morata’s abilities was evident as he described the player as “very good” and a “hard worker.” The Barcelona coach expressed his fondness for Morata’s style of play and work ethic, indicating that the striker was a serious consideration for the team’s offensive lineup.
Despite the interest, the move did not materialize, and Morata remains with his current club. Xavi’s comments confirm the ongoing search for talent to bolster Barcelona’s squad, with a focus on players who match the club’s ethos and playing style.
