Barcelona have been active in the transfer window so far this summer. Despite their precarious financial situation, they have already signed Ilkay Gundogan, Inigo Martinez and Oriol Romeu, with a deal also agreed for Vitor Roque to join in 2024.
Further additions are being pursued, and a new right-back is top of the agenda. Barcelona currently only have Sergino Dest as a natural in the position, with Jules Kounde, Sergi Roberto and Ronald Araujo as other potential options.
Despite the club being clear of its intention to sign a new right-back, the sporting department have been unable to come to a unanimous decision over who to target, as reported by MD.
Some would prefer an exciting up-and-coming talent such as Ivan Fresneda, while others want a more established and experienced figure, with Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo being one of those that fits this bill.
Barcelona will need to sell before they can sign a new right-back, so there is some time for a united decision to be made. However, it will be essential that all parties come to an agreement fairly soon, so that progress can be made.
