The brass at La Liga giants Barcelona have already begun scouring the market for potential reinforcements in one position with a view to next season.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who point towards the centre of defence as the spot in question.
Barcelona currently have doubts when it comes to the futures of several of their central defensive stars, chiefly Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araújo.
This comes fresh off another of Hansi Flick’s most reliable options, Iñigo Martínez, suddenly departing for Saudi Arabia over the summer.
In turn, though the transfer window only closed earlier this week, Deco and co. have already kicked into gear a search for fresh blood at the back.
A whole host of names are being taken into consideration, with the priority to land a left-footed option to play alongside the right-footed Pau Cubarsí over the seasons ahead.
Expect further updates on Barcelona’s stopper search over the coming weeks.
