Barcelona will look for at least two defenders next summer if they have the money to do so, with youngsters Hector Fort and Gerard Martin yet to claim the reserve spots this season. In particular, the left-back position has been highlighted as a priority.
Sports director Deco is already exploring options for both positions next summer. One option that has been made for the left-back position is that the Blaugrana will not look for a player to tie them down in the position for one or two years, as was the case with veteran Marcos Alonso, who left last summer. Instead, they intend to sign a genuine alternative to Alejandro Balde.
Flick: “This is one of the most beautiful fields, with a spectacular atmosphere… I like this fantastic atmosphere, which motivates the players a lot. There have been games in which we have shown our quality… And sometimes it is normal having games that are not so good.”

One of the names mentioned is Caio Henrique from AS Monaco. The Brazilian has been linked to Barcelona on several occasions in the past and will once again be on Deco’s shortlist, Sport claims. His contract ends in 2027, but he will look for a move next summer.
While he has played the majority of their games, Henrique has not been an automatic starter for AS Monaco this season, starting in 11 of their 19 games, but is considered a more solid defensive option than Balde. Other reports in the Spanish press claim that Barcelona have identified Balde’s defensive skills as one of their problems and something that needs to be addressed.
