In Barcelona, they do not have enough offensive weight to face the matches in LaLiga Santander and the Champions League. After the absence of Sergio Agüero, who is suffering from respiratory problems, the Catalan team only has Memphis Depay as their main goal scorer. Given this situation, German forward Timo Werner is rumored to be a possible reinforcement.
Before the clash that Xavi's team will face against Benfica in the Champions League, ESPN reported that the Chelsea attacker could join the Blaugrana squad due to the few minutes he has been accumulating in the current season.
Barcelona does not have its complete squad due to the number of injured players. In addition, Sergio Aguero's replacement, Martin Braithwaite, is still in the process of recovery and will return to the field in January.

Timo Werner has only played seven matches in the current season with Chelsea (four of them as a starter). The performance and goal-scoring contribution of Romelu Lukaku have made the German striker a substitute in the blue team.
So far, the German forward has not fulfilled expectations with the London squad, as he only scored six goals in 35 matches last season (29 as a starter). With less than a year to go until the World Cup, getting playing minutes at Barcelona would be a great opportunity for the player.
