FC Barcelona activates behind the scenes to reshape its right flank. If Jules Koundé helps seriously, Catalan leaders wish to recruit a real specialist in the position. Ideal? A modern side, capable of shining on the two wings as João Cancelo did. But failing to find a perfect clone, the club studies several well identified profiles.
According to SportDeco and Hansi Flick agreed on a short-list of promising but already experienced players. At the head, the Dutchman Jeremie Frimpong (24, Leverkusen), who appeals to the new German coach. The Brazilians Vanderson (Monaco) and Dodo (Fiorentina), represented by the same agent, are also in the race. Two explosive players, capable of bringing percussion and volume.
Other tracks studied: Marc Pubill (21, Almeria), profile followed long by the Catalan cell, and the young Dutch prodigy Givairo Read (18, Feyenoord), perceived as a bet on the future. One thing is certain: Barça wants to bet over time and give a new face to its right corridor. It remains to be seen who will inherit the role.
