Barcelona is actively preparing for the upcoming summer transfer window, focusing not only on central defense and striker positions but also on reinforcing their full-back options. Despite uncertainties around Joao Cancelo’s future, Deco is determined to bring in a new player capable of playing on both flanks.

The ideal candidate is expected to be an experienced, affordable footballer who can add maturity to a squad filled with young players, aiding the development of talents like Xavi Espart. Potential targets include Alejandro Grimaldo from Bayer Leverkusen, Caio Henrique from Monaco, and Juventus’ Italian international Andrea Cambiaso.

These options fit Barcelona’s budget and strategic criteria, with the club mindful of financial fair play regulations and expected departures to make room for new arrivals.

Deco and head coach Hansi Flick believe that signing experienced full-backs will not only enhance immediate team strength but also foster a positive environment for nurturing academy graduates. The coming weeks will reveal which candidate Barcelona will choose to bolster their squad for next season.
