La Liga
FC Barcelona has started planning their transfer market with a clear priority: reinforcing the full-back positions. Hansi Flick has requested the addition of two players for those positions or alternatively a versatile player who can perform on both sides.
The German coach's intention is to increase competition in the flanks, where Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde are currently the starters, but without a significant backup option to guarantee consistent performance. The lack of experience from Héctor Fort and Gerard Martín has highlighted the need for more established choices.
Three names for the right flank
Facing this scenario, the Blaugrana club has identified six players as possible reinforcements for the upcoming summer. On the left flank, one of the most appealing options is Jorrel Hato, a young Dutch talent from Ajax who can also play as a center-back, with a market value around 30 million euros. Another option is Álvaro Carreras, the Spanish full-back from Benfica, under contract until 2029 with an estimated value of around 50 million euros. Also on the list is Caio Henrique, a Brazilian from Monaco, whose transfer would be more affordable, around 15 million euros.
Three names for the left flank
On the right side, the board is considering three names. Juanlu Sánchez, a player from Sevilla, is a young and promising alternative, with a contract until 2026 and an estimated price of 15 million euros. Another possibility is Colombian Daniel Muñoz, currently playing for Crystal Palace, priced at 25 million euros. Finally, the Brazilian Vanderson from Monaco is also on Barça's radar, with an evaluation close to 20 million euros.
Barça will need to analyze its flexibility in the market, as the financial situation remains a determining factor in decision-making. The arrival of one or two full-backs will depend on the club's ability to negotiate prices and free up wage mass, in a summer that promises to be crucial for the squad's restructuring.
