La Blaugrana are set to be active in the winter market, despite the ongoing financial concerns at the Camp Nou, as the club aim to reignite a title challenge in 2022.
Incoming Barcelona boss Xavi will have a reduced budget to work with in the months ahead with reports claiming he could have as little as €10m to work with.
Xavi has already secured his first new signing since taking charge in Catalonia with Brazilian full back Dani Alves rejoining the club on a short term deal until the end of 2021/22.
Reports from Marca state Xavi has highlighted an attacking reinforcement as a priority in 2022 with Werner a possible option based on his lack of playing time at Stamford Bridge.
Injuries and a dip in form have affected Werner’s campaign so far, with just four Premier League starts, and Chelsea could allow a short term exit for the German.
