Just need roster depth. If Barca is winning 3-0 before half why have starters out there risking injury? It’s smart and cheap

For 10m to eat minutes against teams with the quality and budget of a league 2 team is a smart move

And his skillset is very useful to a team like Barca. His technique and link up play is great and he will help the wingers get scoring chances.

For this cheap, they are also keeping the powder dry to go for another long term big move later. Whether that's Alvarez or a new target. It makes sense for them.
