Barcelona has resumed its search for a right-back. The “Blue-Granite” management intends to strengthen the right flank of the defense so that Jules Kunde could return to the central defender position. The “Barcelona” sporting director Dec Already compiled a list of the main candidates for the right-back position.
The Catalans’ main target is the “Monaco” defender Vanderon. The Brazilian has been monitoring the Brazilian for several months, and they really like his physical strength, attacking abilities, and versatility, as he can also play as a winger. However, signing him won’t be easy: the Monegas Club has no intention of letting Vanderon go for less than €30 million. Barcelona will try to reduce this amount with additional bonuses.
In recent weeks, the Blaugrana have another option: Borussia Dortmund defender Jan Couto. The young Brazilian was signed by a German club last summer for €25 million, but he isn’t getting enough playing time and has made it clear he wants to change that. His attacking profile fits well with the “blue-gran-à-gran” concept, and his price will be significantly lower than Vanderon’s.
The third option provided by Deco is Valkano defender Andrey Ratiu. The Romanian national team player has established himself as one of Los Angeles’ most stable defenders. His knowledge of the Spanish league and low cost make him an attractive option. Earlier, Barcelona confirmed the injury to defender Alejandro Balde.Source link
