At the start of the January transfer window, Barcelona were open in their pursuit of a new central midfielder. Many presumed that would be a player who could contribute in the here and now for Xavi, but with the Blaugrana priced out of a number of moves, they soon switched their attention to finding a midfield star of the future.
