FC Barcelona wants to do its shopping in Ligue 1

FC Barcelona is going through a bit of a complicated moment. After a great start to the season and several impressive successes, during the Clasico and against Bayern Munich in particular, Hansi Flick’s troops are experiencing a downturn, with only one victory in their last five La Liga matches. The fault, in part, is a fairly limited workforce quantitatively and alternatives on the bench which are not always up to standard.

Management is aware that it will therefore be necessary to strengthen the team. For the January transfer window, this promises to be complicated because of the financial constraints which still limit the Catalan club, which is not even sure of being able to register Dani Olmo for the second part of the season. On the other hand, the Catalan club hopes to have a little more purchasing power next summer, and intends in particular to strengthen its full-backs. If Alejandro Baldé and Jules Koundé are unanimous, their replacements Hector Fort and Gerard Martin raise some doubts.

Barça therefore wants to bring people to the flanks of the defense to provide a little more serious competition, while allowing themselves to rest the holders from time to time. According to the daily Sportthe Catalan team follows several full-backs, in Ligue 1 in particular. On the Monaco side, Caio Henrique and Vanderson are very popular. The first has an exit voucher according to our information, and is considered a very good alternative to Baldé by the Catalans. As for Vanderson, it is Deco who really appreciates him, and the local press compares him to Dani Alves.

For the left side, Nicolas Tagliafico from OL is also coveted, and the Argentinian will have the added advantage of being free next summer. Marc Pubill (Almeria), Ivan Fresneda (Sporting CP), Davyne Rensch (Ajax) and Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) are also mentioned by the media as players on Barça’s list of potential reinforcements for this position.
