The Catalan giants are in dire need of a centre-back and the Brazilian defender, Thiago Silva, is currently on their priority list according to reports.
The Spanish giants have suffered severely because they had lack of options in the centre-back position. They had the chance to sign a defender during the summers, but they only acquired a full-back in the shape of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, who has been playing well since
the start of the season.
However, what matters the most at the moment is the fact that they do not have a defender and they are trying to hunt one down as the summer transfer window is about to get opened in a few months time.
La Blaugrana currently rely on the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique and Marc Bartra, a pair that did not help them at all during the game against Bayern Munich in the semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions League.
A tie in which Barcelona were not the favourites to win but were expected to give a tough time to the German giants, the Catalans lost it by 4-0; a humiliating defeat which they were not expected to take.
Now, after realizing that they require a new defender, La Blaugrana are on the lookout to buy one of the best centre-backs, so that they can find a suitable and permanent replacement for their club captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331, who is currently going through another
injury.
Puyol is old and definitely cannot guarantee a full season of solid performances and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 is definitely not a centre-back that the Catalan giants really want. Therefore, what Tito Vilanova really requires is a centre-back who can play for La
Blaugrana in the future and guarantee them success as they target the Spanish La Liga this season after losing the first leg to the German giants.
Therefore, the Brazilian star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 want to acquire in the coming seasons. With Silva in the team, Barcelona might get back to winning ways and might just be the favourites to win the UEFA Champions League
again.
