Barcelona needed a striker before Fati's injury, now they need one even more: Rivaldo

Rivaldo believes that Barca should sign one or two strikers in January if they want to fight for the CL.

The Brazilian says that Koeman needs more options in attack for the big games.

Rivaldo claims that Fati's injury is a big blow because he was an important piece in our game.

"I thought Barcelona should sign someone before Ansu Fati's injury, so now I think it's even more important. The club should try to sign one or two strikers if they want to fight for the Champions League," Rivaldo writes in his Betfair column. (h/t Marca)

"Koeman should have more options in attack to manage a line-up which is sufficiently decisive and competitive in big games, in important ties.

"Ansu was playing well, he was gaining confidence and becoming more influential in the team, his absence is another headache for the coach."

As a reminder, Fati will miss the next four months after undergoing surgery. It's said that Barca will try to land Lyon's Memphis Depay in January, who's expected to cover the centre-forward position.
