Barcelona make it clear: only one signing to come this transfer window

With Quique Setién at the helm of Barcelona and with Luis Suarez out for what will most likely be a season-ending injury, Barcelona has gone to work to see if they can find a solution to their problems with forwards.  According to 'AS', the club's board has reached a conclusion: they will only make one signing.

The player with the strongest links to the LaLiga champions is Rodrigo Moreno, but the club's board have not yet reached an agreement with Valencia for the player to come and reinforce an attack tha has been weakened with Luis Suarez' absence. If the negotiation by Rodrigo does not materialize, the Catalans would value other options to occupy that role of '9', but the reality is that other alternatives are also being analysed for Setién's group. The coach trusts Messi, Griezmann and Ansu Fati in the offensive zone.

What is striking is the number of exits the team is preparing.  After Todibo's and Aleñá's departures, and the imminent departure of Carles Pérez, the group will be considerably reduced. Others like Rakitic or Wagué may also leave.

Without Suarez, Barça would only have 18 players in the first team, not counting Ansu Fati, who is already part of the team, and Riqui Puig, another player Setién has been counting on since the beginning of his tenure. 

A total of 20 players that, in case of injuries, could limit line-ups and cause the coach some trouble. Meanwhile, the club is still waiting for the signing of a new '9', which will be the only winter reinforcement.
