With this in mind, the leaders of FC Barcelona would like to continue their strategy by recruiting a new right-back.

The good relationship between Barca and Girona could also facilitate this transaction. The Blaugrana will have the means to strengthen this summer and the 19-year-old defender has a release clause of 20 million euros.
