Barcelona Eyes Third Signing Amid Premier League Sale Talks
Barcelona’s Summer Transfer Plans Hinge on Outgoings
Barcelona is gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, with potential signings dependent on player sales to alleviate the club’s financial constraints. The focus is on bolstering the squad with a new goalkeeper and left winger, but incoming transfers will be contingent on outgoing deals.
Search for a New Left-Back Intensifies
In addition to their pursuit of a goalkeeper and left winger, Barcelona has reportedly intensified efforts to secure a new left-back. The latest reports suggest that the club is actively looking to strengthen this position to reinforce the squad.
Recent speculation indicates that current backup left-back Gerard Martin could be on the move to the Premier League this summer. With interest from clubs like Wolves and AFC Bournemouth, Barcelona is open to selling Martin for around €12m, paving the way for a potential replacement.
If Martin does depart, Barcelona has set its sights on former La Masia talent Alex Grimaldo. The 29-year-old has impressed at Bayer Leverkusen and could be available for a bargain fee of €15m. However, any move for Grimaldo is likely to be contingent on Martin’s exit, as the club looks to revamp its left-back options.
As Barcelona navigates the transfer market, the pursuit of a new left-back adds another dimension to their summer recruitment strategy. Stay tuned for further developments as the club aims to strengthen its squad ahead of the upcoming season.
